Cheryl, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was a little pricier than most of the places my husband and I stayed at on our two-week trip, but it was probably our favorite place. The hotel has a fun style, and our dinner and breakfast were really yummy. The staff was super friendly, and our room was nice and big with a great bed and shower.

Great stop on our journey around Iceland. Very special room with comfortable beds. Nice breakfast bar.
Iordanka, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A nice cozy option for an overnighter

This is a functional hotel for couples for an overnight stay enroute to East Iceland on route 1. Breakfast was quite adequate and 24x7 freshly brewed coffee, tea and hot water is a great option for tired tourists needing it without using the processed packets that is common in most hotels. Location and view is great. Shower area is constrained as is common in most Iceland hotels and Airbnbs.
Subramanian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel, great stay. Highly recommend.

Fantastic hotel, great bar, breakfast and food. Was pleasantly surprised how good it was given it was very rural and seemed in the middle of nowhere. Down the road from a lake that is phenomenal. Staff were great, food was great, free coffee, free parking, nice comfortable beds and big rooms. Highly recommend.
Tom, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, comfortable, quiet, spacious hotel with great character, full of interesting history displayed in the common areas. We unintentionally arrived quite late and the staff were very nice. The buffet breakfast is excellent. My husband and I had a wonderful stay last week.
Nancy, 1-night trip

Best breakfast buffet, comfort stay

The room is big. Has hot water, the highlight is the breakfast buffet. It is the best I have had in my past travel years.

Served our needs well. Friendly staff. Only downside was water pressure in the shower was a little low.

Diane, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall, everything was good. The local breakfast was excellent and really enjoyable. The only downside was the internet access — it was only available in the common area, not in the rooms. If that’s improved, it would be perfect.
