The property was nice and the included breakfast was very nice, including the staff. This location requires a short drive to everything; nothing is walkable from this location.

The hotel receives three and a half stars out of five but we found thst over generous. It claims a 24/7 reception but there was no one in reception when we arrived. Our room number and access code were written on a folded (and sealed) piece of paper. The rooms are in a seperate block with a vending machine and microwave just jnside the entrance. Not what we were expecting for 3.5 stars. The carpet in the hallway is quite old and there are stairs down to the last few rooms, making it a little difficult to navigate with heavy roller cases. The room was clean but very basic. Their was a message apologizing that the TV had no connection and saying that the hotel was waiting for a service person to fix the problem. This was in October. We looked at other reviews from June that talked of the same problem! The wifi did work well tho', so we watched "TV" on our laptop. Some of the 5 star reviews were given because of excellent restaurant food. That seems to be based on recommendations to a local restaurant. The hotel does not serve diner. Breakfast was good, with lots of fresh fruit, meats and cheeses, and hot food etc. The breakfast staff were very helpful.

Great breakfast, the location is near the route but far enough to be quite. Big room with great windows and view. I was able to see northern lights from the room.

The staff, location, and property were very well kept and easy to find. The proximity to the lower portion of Iceland and the village of Vík and attractions made it very desirable.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the rooms are nice, very clean, comfy. What is outstanding is the breakfast buffet. Best one I've had in Iceland! Lovely people, everything was great!

My email confirmation provided information for just one room but we had reserved two. Multiple emails to the property prior to arrival to confirm we had two rooms went unanswered which was very unnerving because we were flying in from the US and going straight to the hotel without knowing if we had the rooms we needed. The self-serve check in was not secure. The property provides a piece of paper with your name on the outside and on the inside the folded paper is the room number and electronic door lock code. Because it is just a folded paper (not inside an envelope or taped/stapled closed) everyone has access to all of the door lock codes. I wonder if they even change the door lock codes between guests. The breakfast provided was well stocked and outstanding. The property is not close to town so the provided breakfast was very helpful to have.

Super easy check in. Very quiet place to stay. Breakfast was good as well. Beds were Comfortable. The only thing I didn’t like was how hot the rooms got at night. Otherwise, good location for the day we had planned.

A quiet retreat during a long trip, yet convenient to everything the South Coast of Iceland has to offer. The breakfast was great; staff were helpful on checkin and during my stay when I had done questions.

The parking wasn't paved and there were potholes. The road to the hotel is bumpy as well. The bathroom was clean. Breakfast was decent. TV wasn't working. Light fixture was broken. The mirror glass was a little shattered as well. The room also has a strong bathroom smell after a bath. The price of the hotel is too pricey for the current condition. I've gotten better hostel experiences in Iceland with half of the price I paid. Also, the staffs weren't really friendly. Some of them give you a nasty face and didn't greet customers. Check out time is at 10:00 which is earlier than most hotels I stayed. The staff gave us a warning at 10:00 that if we don't get out in 2 mins, we'll get charged when we were ready to get out and just want to use the bathroom before we leave. That was very upsetting fact that I overpaid for the stay. I gave a 4 stars review for the cleanliness and breakfast of the hotel.
