There is a large second-floor lounge-bar with views across the river, a games room with a pool table, and an upstairs balcony for stargazing or viewing the Northern Lights. A comfortable leather couch provides a spot to sip an afternoon aperitif and gaze at views of either the Rangá River or Hekla volcano.
