Nice hotel - slightly older facility with a lot of communal lounge spaces to hang out with our party and quiet rooms with comfortable beds. We paid for the expensive breakfast buffet (which was quite good) because there really were no cafes or grocery stores open early in the AM.
The stay we had was enjoyable. The dinner we had at the Hvonn Restaurant was memorable. I would recommend it as an experience not to be missed when in Iceland.
Very clean, very peaceful place!
Home-made bread for breakfast (still warm). The restaurant is good even if expensive but like all restaurants in Iceland.
Only thing to know (it was not a problem for us but it is important for visitors to know) the bathroom was tiny and you’re better go to the toilet beige taking a shower because you will make the floor absolutely wet (just a curtain). We managed and was not a problem for us at all.
The hotel was nice, had hot tubs, a bar and restaurant. The rooms were nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate at the restaurant, opting to try all of the sharing board options which were all great. The Mushroom Soup main was also lovely. Great hotel and staff.
Absolutely charming and peaceful. Staff wonderful and accommodating. Borrowed phone chargers. Sitting area and got things open 24 hours

Nice location next to a small church. Breakfast was one day worth "8", the other day only "6'.
We had dinner in the hotel the first night, but there are better options around.
We could not been any happier with this hotel. It has matched our expectations. It has a beautiful setting and lovely staff. The grounds, especially the historic church, are well worth seeing. We enjoyed a dinner with local fish and lamb at the restaurant. The breakfast buffet included several options. We loved the beet juice served in small glasses.
A beautifully designed building on an open field. Hot tubs are available with no hour restrictions facing the west. Room was hot on arrival but there was a window to open. Comfortable pillows and bed.
Overall pretty good stay here! A bit of an older building that seems to have gotten a few facelifts. The room was clean and comfortable, but had a bit of an odd smell to it. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great spread for breakfast - glad I added it on. Hot tub was awesome and you could probably see the Northern Lights while in it. Unfortunately it was quite wet and cloudy during our stay.
Unexpected gem. The hotel room was pretty small and unremarkable, but it was clean and comfortable. I got the best night's sleep of my trip so far. The surprise was the church museum on the grounds and the extensive history of this location going back 1000 years. Fascinating.
