Will stay here again

Pleasant hotel, great staff. Note that there is no elevator. Restaurant has good choices, buffet breakfast has hot and cold selections. Will stay again

4/10 Fair

No value for money

Hotel is below average meanwhile price is quite high, no value for money at all. Room was in a bad condition, it’s actually like a Motel or Hostel.

Ryan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a really great experience here and the best mattresses we've found by far. This is the 5th night in Iceland for us and the previous 4 hotels the mattresses were not good at all. This hotel was lovely in every respect. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast they offered was probably the nicest one I've ever had - anywhere. Good water, good tv, good location, nice hotel :-)
Randy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not recommended

This is a hotel with rooms that are very old and dated. Tiny tiny bathroom with only an overhead shower. No shower wand or shower cap so be prepared to get your hair wet. No tissues, hair conditioner or other amenities you would expect at this price point. Hair dryer provided is also ancient. Requires you to continuously squeeze the handle in order for air to flow. Then it practically overheats. No cool button. Ridiculous place. No staff around in the breakfast area. Most of the food was cold and picked over by 9 am. There are very few hotels and guesthouses in this area so they can do what they want and guests have to take it. If you can book elsewhere, I suggest doing so.

An obliging receptionist arranged an early check in. Good buffet breakfast.The door lock was super difficult to use. Smart TV had no free channels.

Did not realise that the bar attached to the property was also a night club, it was a little too loud for our tastes. But the staff were very friendly, the breakfast was delicious and the rooms were very clean.
