This was a beautiful experience to see the northern lights. However, the self check in was a bit confusing. I wasn’t aware of the process. I was expecting to see and speak with a live person. However, the number given for help was very helpful.

Not much variety for breakfast, uncomfortabld pillows and spa facilities are outdoor which probably isnt the best idea for an Iceland winter - one to bare in mind. Okay for a quick nights sleep and move onwards
