Guest Reviews
- mai britt (6/5): Fint til en enkelt overnatning - Fint til en enkelt overnatning
- Cathy (10/5): - Clean and comfortable room. Breakfast was very good.
- margit (10/5): top top - top er ok
- lalit M (10/5): - Very personal and helpful
- Gianluca (8/5): Molto valido - Camera enorme con letto king-size molto comodo, bagno spazioso. Condizioni non perfette ma nel complesso discreto, e colazione sufficientemente varia. Vicinissimo al cratere. Il prezzo alto ma in linea con le medie islandesi
- Zhiyang (8/5): -
- Heather (10/5): - PHENOMENAL. My fiancé and I spent a magical night in this gorgeous hotel. We didn’t make use of the amenities despite them being a major selling point… we were too comfy and exhausted from a long day exploring and hiking. We will be very happy to come back in the future, however. The staff are beyond wonderful. Thank you!
- Heinz-Guenter (10/5): - Ein sehr gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis, der Check-in verlief reibungslos, die Größe des Zimmers hat mich überrascht, parken direkt vorm Haus, die Auswahl beim Frühstück war überragend, das Personal extrem freundlich, gute Freizeitmöglichkeiten in der Nähe,
- Patrick (10/5): - .
- Heinz (10/5): - Die Lage des Hotels, die Ausstattung und Grösse der Zimmer und Sauberkeit einfach perfekt. Super leckere Gerichte werden angeboten und das Frühstücksbuffet ist auch top.
- Shannon (10/5): Lovely hotel - We stayed for one night and the room was lovely. Nice staff at the front desk and restaurant. Room was clean and spacious, with a very cool poured concrete shower. Breakfast was included and was plentiful with lots of vegetarian options.
- Michael (8/5): - Nice rooms, great shower, small tv but overall good stay
- Thomas (10/5): - Restaurant staff was abysmal. Restaurant was nearly empty, there were 3 waitstaff. We had to ask for our drinks AFTER the food had arrived. It still took nearly 10 minutes to receive our drinks. And we could see the staff standing around talking!
- Nathalie (10/5): - Quand nous sommes arrivés à l’hôtel nous avons cherché c’est drôlement situé…. Mais l’intérieur c’était très bien et la chambre et salle de bain était très grandes…. Le déjeuner était très bien…. C’est juste loin de tout…
- Denise (8/5): - It was a little out of the way, other than that it was a great place
- Sara (2/5): - I was never able to make it to the property as the road to get there was not safe for my vehicle to reach Also there check in is not reasonable hours 8-8 pm that’s it
- Pam (8/5): - The hotel rooms were nice but the bed was uncomfortable. The hotel had an elevator and a restaurant which was nice. The breakfast was included and there was a good selection.
- Shiu-Ying (8/5): - Everything is very good, except the water flow in the shower is all over the bathroom floor .
- Barbara (10/5): - Friendly staff; lovely breakfast! Dinner on site was sensational but very expensive…
- greg (10/5): - Biggest room we stayed at in Iceland!! Lots of shelves ,drawers and closet space. We spent 15 nights at 15 hotels ,so we are experts in hotels. Conveiently located near many sights. The hotel food for dinner we thought was a bit expensive. Our waiter from Ukraine spoiled the hotel feeling for us with his attitude. Hopefully having a bad day.
- Heather (2/5): - Upon entering the building we found a broken down car in the parking lot (flat tires), a camper up on blocks. The outside was not maintained. Once we checked in to the room we immediately decided to leave. Smell! The staff would not refund us any money and were rude. Between the time we checked in and left (15 minutes max) someone had broken a glass bottle in the entrance driveway. I did go back in to tell the staff.
- Adnan (10/5): - Great stay!
- juan francisco (6/5): Hótel de paso - A 30 km de Borgarnes, en mitad de la nada. Fácil aparcamiento. El desayuno incluido correcto.
- Laure (10/5): - Très bon séjour
- daniele (8/5): - Ottima colazione, buono anche il ristorante per la cena anche se un po’ caro
- Jenelle (6/5): - It was alright, but it is like a dorm room and less like a hotel. Supper option was a buffet but very limited for vegetarians, and extremely expensive.
- John (6/5): - Hotel Bifrost staff was friendly and engaged, their dining and lobby area was clean and comfortable to relax in. The rooms were clean if a little dated, but a large amount of space to unpack if you were staying longer. Very large area for shower which was a pleasant surprise. We were overlooking some nearby homes and there was some traffic noise, but nothing distracting. Did not try the breakfast but looked appetizing.
- Sheena (6/5): - Great hotel restaurant. Lovely bar. The rooms are nice, but not well designed. The shower got water all over the bathroom. There were no blackout curtains so it was bright all nice- Iceland summer. The window only cracks about an inch and there is no ventilation. It was very odd to be stifling hot in Iceland.
- Santoshkumar (8/5): - The property is a bit outdated, the bathroom needs an upgrade, however the rooms are large, with mirrors, refrigerator, a small kitchenette. The breakfast was awesome the best we had in Iceland. Dinner was good however as a vegetarian my choices were extremely limited for a price of ISK 8900. We had a stopover for one night and had a comfortable stay.
- Serene (8/5): - The service was great at this hotel and the food was good. Everything was clean. The entrance was difficult to find though. It looks like a college dorm that has been converted to a hotel. The toilet seat in room 308 needs to be fixed. The toilet seat moves around a lot. It would be nice if the rooms had bigger tvs and more channel choices. There was an odd smell in the hallway.
- Sandra (8/5): - Great location for Northern Lights viewing. Very basic room, but comfortable.
- Fred Baker (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay and had a very nice room.
- HYUNJIN (8/5): - Restaurant dinner wad great and also the breakfast option. Its very spacious :)
- Bernt (10/5): - Manager was one of the best I ever have met, we arrived there before our booking from Orbitz did show on their computer, but he gave us a room anyway and he said we can check at dinner time if booking came true other ways we fix it in the morning!! I have never in 34 countries I have stayed in and hundreds of Hotels never got this FRIENDLY service. Bravo "10 Stars"
- Michael (2/5): Avoid false advertisement - An old dorm room. no hot tubs as was advertised. neither has worked for over a year. The manager does not care to correct the advertisement.
- Santilal (10/5): - Nice stay
- Adam (4/5): - When I arrived, my reservation could not be found that I had made a month earlier (and had a receipt for, confirming my payment). We had an overpriced dinner at the restaurant, the salted cod was terrible and they did not attend to us at the table. We discovered the two glasses in our room were dirty, with lip marks on them and specks of dirt. At check out time, they still had not resolved the issue of the reservation and asked for payment for both our dinner and room which was confirmed to have already been paid on the receipt I showed them. The hotel has an odd atmosphere. The main things that are good: large rooms and the breakfast. The people working there tried, but this place clearly has poor management and administration and should not be on Expedia if it is not receiving communication about reservations and payments.
- Verified traveler (8/5): At Bifrost but Thor was away at the time - Overall had a great time, hotel is around back and a large square dark brown building.
- MU (2/5): - This hotel's response was terrible. When I was not able to go to this hotel due to delayed baggage and road conditon, I asked the hotel to cancel the booking or transfer to other day via message in Expedia. However, they didn't do any reply until I sent the second message next day. Although I was not able to use phone call, they said I should have called them to push it and refused cancel and refund without considering my situation. Finally I was not able to stay here and get any refunds for cancell booking, even an portion of breakfast. It was worst hotel experience I've ever had.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Large comfortable room, fantastic food - Large room with table and 2 chairs and kitchenette. Huge bathroom. Very nice lady working there helped us resolve a situation with a reservation we had for the next town we were going to. The food at the restaurant there was fantastic. Best meal we had on our entire trip. Only negative was no wash clothes in the bathroom. Encountered this at a few other hotels - maybe that is a European thing? We were told this hotel was a dormitory for a college. If so, these college students live in luxury.
- Virgil (4/5): - My top floor room ceilings were so low I could not stand in half the room. Also barely enough room to move around the bed in areas I could stand.
- Jenny (6/5): Ho Hum - A Hotel that is remote but handy for breaking the journey on the Ring Road. Beautiful and much less known Glanni Waterfall nearby where we enjoyed some walks and the lava field landscape is amazing. The Hotel seemed to only have 1 staff member on at any one time who was everything to everyone. Cosy and warm and the room was spacious. Enjoyed the Hot Thermal pool.
- hlp (8/5): - Convenient place for one night stop. Rooms are renovated, very big, comfortable twin beds, room has with kitchen amenities, huge bathroom. Reception needs renovation and staff to serve it, as at the moment restaurant staff serve the reception desk and you have to wait. Also the lady when I checked in wasn't very polite and did not shows me the way to the rooms, which are in separate building so I had to figure out by myself, anyway on the next morning the other girl in the restaurant was very friendly, helpful and polite. So might be is good her colleagues to learn from her about hospitality.
- P (2/5): - This is a nice, quiet hotel and a convenient stopping point to northern Iceland. However the hotel have charged me twice for the room and despite agreeing to refund, 20 days later have still not done so. I will now have to pursue this through my credit card company.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Breakfast was not very good. Even the coffee tasted burnt. Bathroom was outdated and not the cleanest. Location was good for us on our tour of Ring Road.
- Melania (8/5): Nice location near Gabrok crater - Friendly and helpull staff. Huge room, more like an apartment, with a small kitchen and fridge. Comfy beds and wonderfull mountain views. The shower was big, but it had no curtain, so the bathroom floor was flooded after every shower. The towels were not clean which was a bit disturbing. There is also a gym, but it didn't look so good, and a hot tub. The breakfast was tasty and various. The hotel is being renovated now, so I'm hoping it would look a lot better in the future.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Large, comfortable room and excellent customer service
- Bo (6/5): - Restaurant staff are also handling the reception, which may give you long waiting time in the restaurant when guests arrive. Hot tub is small and in a very unappealing location. We we given incorrect hours for breakfast and thus missed it one day. Rooms however are nice and spaceous. Most staff friendly.
- Francis (8/5): - Nice hotel, excellent breakfast, good service, Restaurant very expensive
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice clean hotel a little way out of town.. - Out in the country no restaurants around however there is one at the hotel. We had a large pizza there.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel to stay a night! - Had a wonderful night with a good breakfast. Good place to stay when you are near the area. In front of the highway.
- Lori (10/5): iceland 2017 - Tour around Iceland
- Emily (8/5): Not very homely feeling but fine for a night or 2 - Hotel is in a series of buildings which seem like an odd mismatch. Felt a bit like a school campus. Our room was in a large concert block away from the main building. Room was large and clean if in need of a bit of a revamp. Just felt a little uncosy. Restaurant seemed expensive even by Icelandic standards and food was mediocre. Hot tub was lovely and warm and in a sheltered area but a bit full of leaves. Breakfast buffet was good and the staff very friendly, helpful and informative.
- Jamie (6/5): Community Stay - It is not a traditional hotel stay, but we were satisfied with the room and efforts to make sure we were comfortable and also checking out before 8am.
- David (8/5): - The staff was helpful, and the room was good. The food service and quantity was lacking.
- Verified traveler (6/5): OK - Sólveig was the most helpful staff I've met in Iceland. Although I have changed my mind few times, she's still very patience to arrange the rooms for us. The hotel was a bit disappointed, the window next to the radiator could not close properly and the windows were dirty. The room & the bathroom were spacious but with small bed.
- kayla (10/5): - The staff was fantastic and let us check in almost 5 hours early. We were exhausted from an overnight flight. The kind woman at the front desk even ran across to the other building to check if our room was ready. Definitely will recommend to other travelers
- Verified traveler (10/5): A good value hotel - Clean, quiet, comfortable, nice breakfast.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Convenient to Hwy 1. - Nice room and shower. Breakfast was included - average. Room was nicer than rest of the grounds. Would stay there again.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Hotel was ok and breakfast is included but room is not very comforting. Pretty old and just doesn't seem that clean.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Sturdy choice - The Hotel is a converted dormitory and has the feel of one. However the rooms are large and comfortable, with spacious bathrooms. We are in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast and both were great.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was included
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel Close to crater - We enjoy the hike to crater close to the hotel. Nice breakfast nice ding area
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel - Excellent customer service and breakfast. Close to attractions and Main Street. Parking included and accessible.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Adequate stopover - Good stopover. Service was a little slow. We arrived at 845 but the hotel staff had already gone. Had to get the restaurant staff to help. Fitness center key unavailable so had to ask to let us in. The room was quite spacious (was a converted dorm room). Breakfast was adequate but lacked variety. Also service to refill items that were gone for breakfast was very slow. Mini market was great with a large selection.
- Adrienne (10/5): - Interesting hotel, it's actually a college and the old dorms are now hotel rooms. They are absolutely massive and the grounds are quite unique. There is a restaurant on site that was nice however if you want a variety, you have to drive a bit, the hotel is off on it's own. If you're driving around the ring, it's a good stopping point in between Reykjavik and Akureyri.
- jim (10/5): Reasonably priced hotel on Route 1 - Stayed two nights. Excellent for the price. Nice rooms with all amenities: roomy, fridge, cooktop, microwave.
- Alan (8/5): - You actually stay on a small University campus that turned a part of it into a hotel--- so it seems. There is a kitchenette in room but no items to use it. There is a place for dinner and breakfast is included in the price. When I booked thru hotels.com I was told a price to be paid at the hotel. My husband paid a higher price at checkout and did not question it because he was not aware. That was a disappointment.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Very nice - The rooms are very spacious by Icelandic standards. There is a minimart on property giving your break a wallet. The restaurant is a good mix of fancier food and comfort food. The view of the hotel at sunset is gorgeous. The restaurant is lit by candle light and very nice.
- jan (6/5): Good facilities and convenient location - This hotel was not at all what I had expected. We had a nice room with a small kitchen and huge shower. There was a gym on site too with outdoor hot tub etc. It was a bit 'dorm-room' style though, explained by the fact tha the facilities are shared by a university, and the restaurant and bar lacked character or coziness. Our room was also not cleaned after we arrived (more of an apartment rental agreement)
- hwee y (10/5): Fantastic View - Fatastic view from room, big rooms with kitchen. Very clean and modern. Very spacious. Simple breakfast with a Fantastic view! Very kid friendly hotel. Would book here again if we are back here. The hotel have everthing within the hotel - restaurant, mini market, gym, kindergarten, hot sauna etc.
- Si Xian (6/5): Overall a pleasant stay - Room was big but not in the same building as the reception/restaurant
- Raymond (8/5): Clean hotel with great surrounding - The stay is good but not the weather.
- Mary (8/5): Nice hotel easy to go explore various unique areas - Staff was extremely helpful and kind, provided excellent breakfast. The area is such a good place to use as a base for exploring the western pennisula, the Borgarnes area, geothermal activity and pipeline nearby, the lava fields, beautiful farms in the valley below, central to many roads so you can easily get to good weather conditions to enjoy Iceland easily, and change planned to suit the day.
- Bryan (8/5): - Great stopover for a roadtrip around Iceland.
- Anon (6/5): Weird looking place looked rundown and closed - Really odd looking almost Soviet style buildings, room was okay but restaurant and gym facilities were really run down. Quiet until the dog started barking in the morning. Blackout curtains had gaps! Bring your sleep mask!
- Rajasekhara Reddy (6/5): - Room was clean but. Rest. It's like staying in hostel
- Laurie (6/5): Nice hotel but remote location - Nice hotel and really nice staff. Restaurant on site has great food. Room was clean. Located adjacent and part of Bifrost University. The only downside is it's located a little removed from anything. It's not actually located in Borganes. Would have preferred to stay closer to or within Borganes.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Relaxing, friendly little hotel
