Hótel Bifröst

took us a long time to find the entrance to the hotel, in heavy rain. There isn't a formal entrance. Only a side door facing a courtyard. Its origin as a university dormitory explains the unique set up. We didn't know at the time.

The Hotel and the room was very nice. We arrived on Friday, after driving straight from work, to the Hotel at quarter to 6 pm. In our reservation we had a gift certificate for a 3 course meal. The reception said we had to hurry because dinner should start at 6pm. We asked if we could come a little later or maybe between 6.30 or 7 but the receptionist said NO, because then we would get our meal much later. We hurried up to our room and got dressed and went down to the restaurant. The restaurant was empty, we were the only ones there. We sat down and our starter came out within two minutes. When we hadn´t finished the waiter asked if we were done and we said wait a minute and tried to finish as quick as possible. When the waiter saw we had finished the starter she came and took our dishes and handed out the main course(straight away). It felt like they were trying to get o-us out of there as soon as possible. We took our time with the main course, it was obvious that our dinner had been made somewhere else or just earlier that day because it was just heated up for us and not cooked when ordered. When we got our dessert, at about 6:40, other hotel guests started arriving. Then we saw that they also had the same gift certificate and exactly the same meals. We found it strange why we had to hurry up to come down at 6pm and not everybody else. Sorry this service was not a good experience and the dinner just flat. This could have easily been a great experience if the service had been up to par with the room and look of the Hotel itself.

Visiting the Bifrost area, we chose this hotel. It's a beautiful hotel, with a spacious room, a large bathroom, a very affordable price in winter and a perfect welcome. Simple but complete breakfast included in the price. Only the price of the restaurant menu is too expensive and you don't have much choice. I recommend this hotel.

The location of this hotel was quite unusual and the entrance quite hidden and tucked away. Its in close proximity and surrounded by residential flats. Inside the vibe is distinctly modern and minimalist. Our room had a kitchenette, lots of cabinets and a nice bathroom with rain shower. So glad we decided to reserve a table for dinner at their restaurant. The dinner was delicious and breakfast buffet (included in our rate) was one of the best we’ve had on our Iceland tour. The breads were patisserie quality.

A very nice hotel and restaurant, made exceptional by the kindness of its owner and staff. I stayed with them only for a night, still I received help and attention normally reserved for relatives or close friends. I will definitely stay again!

We stayed one night on our 6-day tour around Iceland. The room was very spacious with everything necessary for comfortable stay, with a kitchenette. We loved breakfast (included) and a great dinner buffet at the hotel. I would recommend staying here.

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.
