The customer service was exceptional and our meal at the restaurant was the absolute best that we had in Iceland (& this is saying a lot as we ate at some very nice places). The hotel is older but charming and our room was comfortable and clean. It is located right across the street from the visitor center and next to a great walking trail that goes on for miles. The absolute best part was the staff 7 & the food!!! I hope to come back and will definitely recommend this hotel to family & friends who are planning to visit.

Extremely disappointing and overpriced. We stayed at 10 different hotels with different price range in Iceland this June. This one was THE WORST value for the money paid. Outdated room with an awful uncomfortable shower that would flood the whole bathroom after the shower is used. Breakfast buffet did not taste fresh by 9am. Awful experience I wish we would stay somewhere else. The hotel staff is not helpful at all - the main objective clearly is the to make money of the tourists by any means.

Thought slightly old building, it was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was nice. One minus point is there is no mesh window screen to block the midges. Whenever you open the window, there are swarm of midges coming in. They are non biting, just annoying. A mesh window screen should do the trick.

This property is dated, needs renovated! I don’t agree with all the high ratings! It is clean but rooms are noisy can hear every guest coming in and out and talking! Food choices not great and very pricey! Staff are very friendly! Would opt for something a bit more updated if visited area again!
