I will absolutely recommend this hotel to my friends, nice and quiet rooms, aesthetically furnished space for breakfast, reception and lounge. I guess it’s been renewed not so long ago. Photos online doesn’t look that good as it is in reality. We enjoyed our stay. View from the window also was great (expect plastic bad with garbage haha), but well yes, all was good.

Nice little Hotel/Guesthouse. Staff was very kind and helpfull. The rooms are in good shape. Only limited TV channels but to be honest who is in Iceland for watching TV! Surrounding is great as you have the Dettifoss and other nice viewpoints in the near surrounding. They serve a breakfast in the morning which was good. Not too overloaded but a selcetion for everyone.

Interesting property that was once a boarding school. Was there in the off-season and there were no dining options available. There is a very rustic restaurant about 10 miles North of this property. The only other option was the town of Hick 25 miles Southwest. If you were traveling to Northern or eastern Iceland, it’s wise not to let you fuel get below half a tank and keep some extra food in the car in case you find yourself in a village where everything is closed at 6 PM. Iceland is GORGEOUS and the people are lovely, but there are much fewer options in the remote areas for fuel and food.

Beautiful quiet riverside location. Really enjoyed my stay here. Greeted at reception by a lovely chap (Leonardo?) who was very welcoming and organised some soup for me within minutes of my arrival. The room was warm clean and comfortable. Being out of season (mid October) there were only a few guests staying but there was always a member of staff available. I can highly recommend this place.

Das Hotel ist ein Disaster, null Organisation: Wir kamen um 15:55 Uhr am Hotel an, Check-In war ab 16 Uhr angegeben Wir fanden ein leeres Hotel vor, und selbst nach 30 Minuten gab es kein Anzeichen einer Kontaktperson, auch nicht nach mehrmaligen Anrufen bei der angegebenen Kontaktnummer. Nach einer Stunde warten (es waren 3 weitere Autos mit uns auch am warten) meldete sich eine Person zurück und sagte, sie wäre nach 10 Minuten da. Nach 10 Minuten kam diese Person auch, sagte nur ein kaltes „Sorry“ und mehr gab es da nicht, keine aufrichtige Entschuldigung, gar nichts. Wir durften dann ganz normal unsere Übernachtungsgebühr in vollem Preis bezahlen. Am nächsten Morgen ging es gleich weiter: Wir kamen zum (extra gegen Aufpreis bezahlten) Frühstück, alle Tische waren voll mit benutztem Geschirr, daraufhin mussten wir erstmal unseren Tisch selbst abräumen und abwischen. Danach durften wir wieder 15 Minuten auf Geschirr warten, da keines vorhanden war und auch keine Ansprechperson in Reichweite war. Hier wird auf die Gäste keine Rücksicht genommen und Service ein Fremdwort.

Das Hotel ist nicht direkt schlecht, aber es hat ein sehr schlechtes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Das Zimmer ist klein, hat weder ein Bild an der Wand noch einen Fernseher, noch nicht mal Trink- oder Zahnputzgläser. Dafür haben wir über 34 000 Kronen bezahlt, das sind knapp 240 Euro, und das ohne Frühstück! Das war das mit Abstand schlechteste Hotel in Island, das wir hatten
