I stayed at the Natura for five nights and enjoyed every one.

I was in a double room which was very clean and comfortable and quiet. The bath room was the size of a cruise ship stateroom bathroom but adequate for one person. The beds were typical European; a bit smaller than my 6'3" frame and softer than I prefer.

The restaurant was very good with a fine breakfast. Service by the front desk, housekeeping and food and beverage teams was excellent.

If I was by myself I'd hurry back. The bath rooms my be a bit too small for two guests unless they are quick to get ready.

I tried to use the swimming pool several times only to find it full each time. It's not very close to any restaurants or other activities. A taxi to the Centrum runs about $10 USD.

I stayed 4nts in FEB 2012 at the Natura for an international travel seminar. Though the hotel was filled to capacity, the staff handled every person and situation flawlessly, with a smile and perfect English. Hotel is well appointed with a well designed restaurant serving delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner meals in a contemporary setting. The spa offers a full menu of facials, scrubs and massages. It is situated on the quiet lower level with a cozy fireplace and serene pool, large enough to swim laps; a hot tub is adjacent. Workout facilities are ample; there's treadmill and elliptical equipment. I requested a quiet room away from the elevator which had a great mountain view; the room had 2 twins pushed together to make a king bed with a fabulous down comforter. The blackout curtains - while not needed in the long winter days - would be essential for the midnight sun in summer. When an overcharge for a phone call appeared on my bill, the manager took care of it quickly, with a smile and apology, couldn't ask for better service! After inspecting over 8 other hotels in the city, I'd come back to the Natura for its peaceful setting, delightful cuisine and super staff, it's a winner!

I cannot complain in the slightest about this hotel (apart from running out of tea when there was a British emergency, lol). We were put up by Icelandair for free when our flight was cancelled and it was a lovely pad to relax in. It reminded me of Premier Inn (I quite like Premier Inns!) a bit sterile and soulless, but no one's going to be offended. Our room was 201.

Shower was great, and didn't smell of sulphur (some can!). Lovely for washing the salt out of my hair from the Blue Lagoon. Beds were comfy and the TV picked up BBC2 for a bit of Top Gear before bed. No radiators for drying soggy Blue Lagoon towels though. Free internet in the lobby meant I could get in touch with friends and family to let them know I wouldn't be home on time.

Sorry for the obsession with tea, but again, what's with the tiny mugs people? And you need to ask for milk from downstairs otherwise it's coffee whitener (bleurgh).

They had a shop with some essential snacky bits (had to walk to the filling station for a pear Skyr and a Thrister still though) and pretty jewellery to marvel at. Bar was well stocked and had a happy hour (handy with Iceland prices!). Food was really nice, just what we needed. Was hoping the flight would be delayed MORE so we could enjoy the in-hotel spa and pool, but Icelandair are too efficient :)

Slightly weird that there were Christmas trees out front and they played Christmas songs at dinner...thought I might have been dreaming!

Slightly too far into town, glad I was only there at the end, but a good end.

This hotel has been refurbished and I have stopped there when it was the dated Icelandair Loftleidir Hotel. On arrival I was disappointed to see the outside of the hotel still looks like my secondary school and has not be changed/updated.

On entering the hotel foyer you can see this has been updated. The foyer, shop bar and restaurant are looking fresh and new. The hotel has a nature theme and there are many stuffed animals and pictures of Icelands natural sights.

We did an Icelandair package which included the first night and the last night of our trip at this hotel. The first room was really nice a decent size however the second room was small and still looked dated so I guess it depends how lucky you are? Both beds were clean warm and looked new. The first room temperature was much better than the second room which kept changing. Both showers had damage to their bases where the white surface was missing and showing the black base unit. Hairdryer kettle and TV.

The Satt Restaurant – We visited for an evening meal. I had a traditional Icelandic fish (cod) gratin served with steamed rye bread which was well cooked and presented and reasonably priced by Icelandic standards. 3,590 ISK - £18.49 A small side order of sweet potato chips cost 490 ISK - £2.52. I choose a whipped Skyr blueberries with meringue and toasted white chocolate which was lovely and cost 1,280 ISK - £6.59 Service was very polite but a little slow.

Breakfast – Grab and go if your up before 7am was very poor for a large hotel. A few cereals limited bread rolls ham and cheese. A couple of bananas and apples. A selection of teas and some coffee. Not really worth getting up for! After 7am you have the pleasure of cold baked beans scrambled eggs and chipolata sausage all cold…………..Not sure what it is with hotels they can’t manage to keep warm food even warm let alone hot? Plenty of warm bread and bread rolls though. A couple of different cereals and a small selection of fruit. Ham, cheese, jam and pate. A bowl of small muffins and some biscuits. 3 types of fruit juice. Not a rasher of bacon in sight :-(

There is a little shop near the reception desk where you can pick cold drinks and a few snacks or a sandwich up along with gifts such as books, postcards, jewellery and woollen stuff. It’s also houses tour info/brochures and you are able to book trips really easy there. They are open until 8pm most nights.

There is a shuttle bus that runs into town but not very often and it’s about a 20 - 25 minute walk.

Reception offered us bedtime stories but we didn’t take the offer up!

The pool and spa have been refurbished................it needed it! Free to guests. Make sure you take a towel out of your room else you will have to hire one. There is also a small area where you can sit and watch people in the pool/hot tub. Water at 41 degrees very nice and relaxing.
