Rooms
Available in three categories, the 52 rooms and suites all have flat screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi, tea and coffee-making facilities, minibars, bathrooms with bathrobes and slippers, and views of the river or Mount Hekla volcano. The simply decorated but comfortable Standard and Deluxe rooms have all-wood decor, while the larger Superior Deluxe rooms offer river views. The more luxurious suites are themed after the world’s continents and offer brighter decor themes as well as upgraded room amenities such as lounge areas, spacious bathrooms, Nespresso machines, and private balconies. An extra bed can be added to all room types.
