Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The location was very convenient and the room was comfortable. The only reason I gave one star off for comfort is because our room was directly above the entry door and people hung out below, and it was a little loud at times other than that it was a wonderful experience with delicious food at the restaurant. I would stay here again.

I’d stay there again

The furniture and carpet is dated but otherwise it was a very nice stay. The staff was nice and spoke English well, the room was comfortable, and the meals (dinner and breakfast) were good. The hotel was quiet indoors and there was no noise from outside. It’s conveniently located on the ring road. Check in and check out was easy.

Great hotel! Staff were amazing. Rooms spacious and clean. Restaurant was quite limited. Small gas station/convenience store across the street, otherwise for anything else it’s a 30 minute drive. Was everything we needed though. Would stay here again.

Staff helpful. All basic amenities (even shampoo conditioner and bath gel!) and a hot water kettle. Helpful for us tea drinkers. Restaurant serves good horse and lamb steaks at reasonable price (by Icelandic standard) and a good breakfast spread. Easy to locate just off the round island Hwy 1.

This is an older property that could use some updates... carpets, linens and the bathroom. It did have everything we need and it was a sight for sore eyes after driving from the east in a snow storm. The staff were amazing... friendly and wanted to help however they could. I would recommend this property.

There is not much to do around town but we stopped here along the ring road. The staff was friendly and we saw the northern lights right above the hotel. There is a gas station right across the street as well but that’s about it. On Expedia, under hotel amenities and things to do it says sauna. I want to warn people there is NO SAUNA. There is a TV but it’s not a smart or streaming TV so you get four stations and they are all cops lol. There is a kettle in the room with tea which was nice. Breakfast was okay- nothing special. Probably wouldn’t stay here again.
