Great staff! Great Breakfasts! The property is very clean and conveniently located on the way to the airport. The area around looked industrial to me, but that was not bothering as it this was the last night before leaving Iceland.

Clean quiet hotel. Traveling as a family we appreciated having a room with 4 real beds (no one wants to sleep on a pull-out couch). The breakfast buffet was nice, although they don’t have any to-go coffee cups. If you have a rental car this is a great option, its an easy drive to Reykjavik. The hotel information desk staff were very helpful.

The hotel was average. Room was extremely small. Not much dining options available nearby. Not much breakfast options for vegetarian customers as well. Room was clean though and customer service was good.

Very limited options for the continental breakfast. The hot tub, sauna and gym were not part of the hotel but next to it and a whole different facility so it felt weird going in there to use the hot tub. It did serve its purpose though and it wasn’t to far from the city center

Nice simple hotel. Great place to book for a couple of days after flying from States and before a cruise. Quiet and away from Reykjavík but not to far to access with a 15 minute drive.

We had a great stay at this hotel. Everyone was very nice. The hotel is about 30 minutes from Reykjavik. The lady at the front desk was super helpful. She helped us figure out how to use public transportation to get to the city center and buy some medicine. The room was nice and specious. There was no Phone in the room, so we had to go to the front desk if we needed something. I recommend this hotel just know is far from Reykjavik city.
