Firstly I’d like to thank the wonderful staff at this hotel for the lovely birthday surprise for my Fiancé when we arrived, you went above and beyond! The lady that checked us in was lovely, helpful and we didn’t have to wait long. Room was on the smaller side but had everything we needed for 1 night on our road trip - clean and comfortable. Breakfast was basic (same as most in Iceland) but plenty to fill you up and constantly replenished. Good location, lovely pizzeria and brewery a short walk away. Ample walking. Would stay again, thank you!

Overall, the hotel was good. The breakfast was the best one during my trip to Iceland. The staff were friendly, and the room felt clean but had a strange smell in addition to the sulfur smell found in Iceland.

The hotel room itself was very nice. It was the first room we have stayed at in Iceland with multiple pillows. The shower was inconsistent in its ability to stay hot, but wouldn’t go as far to say it got cold when it shouldn’t have been. Opening a window was a must, as it got a little stuffy and warm overnight. The room did not come with a mini fridge. The toilet was also not the strongest, as it required multiple flushes in some instances. The onsite restaurant was nice. It was vegan friendly, but not an abundance of options. The menu was definitely on the pricier side, but had a wide array of options for someone with an unrestricted diet. Very pretty views from rooms. Breakfast was good. There was an assortment of fruits, vegetables, meats, breads, coffee, tea, cereal, and juices.

We liked this hotel, the staff was extremely helpful and told us where to go in the area. The room is small but was good enough for us. Best part was the amazing breakfast, best one we had in Iceland! Featured many delicious options.

Okay as a roof over your head and good breakfast.
Front of house staff were not too welcoming. There were issues in the room of a bed side lamp not working and also poor intermittent WIFI signal. When this was pointed out, the front of house staff didn’t seem to be helpful and said it was my device. It wasn’t. That said, it was an average stay and only for the one night. Perhaps we were just unlucky with the room that we had. On the plus, they served a very decent and comprehensive breakfast catering for all tastes with a wide variety.
