We had an amazing stay at this hotel during our visit to Iceland. We stayed in their cottage, and everything about the experience was perfect from start to finish. The cottage was cozy, comfortable, and a wonderful place to relax after a day of exploring.
The owners were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed, which made our stay even more special. The location is also ideal - peaceful and perfectly situated for spotting the incredible Northern Lights. We were lucky enough to see them, and it was truly unforgettable.
Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Iceland!

We stayed one night at this hotel, the hotel is family run & is staffed. They have a hot tub & sauna available as well. The rooms are quiet, clean & cozy. Nothing super amazing about this hotel but decent. The views are pretty good from here as a river runs beside & they have a nice fountain out front. They didn't shovel the snow until much later in the day. Ample parking here for free.

Excellent stay! 10/10
Excellent location right off the Ring road. The room is excellently appointed - especially the kitchen. There was even an oven! Situated in a pretty area next to a stream - there’s even a little picnic area.
I’d gladly book again!

Pleasantly surprised, this was a hidden gem! Spacious rooms that were simple, yet inviting with comfortable beds. Excellent kitchen with everything we needed. We woke up to a delicious breakfast. Excited that the "northern lights decided to come out and play"!

Amazing location, comfy room, accommodating staff
Great place for a family of four with young kids. The river and mountains were just outside our door. Very spacious and comfortable room. The staff was incredibly accommodating, too. We flew into Reykjavik late afternoon and drove up that evening. We got there just as their restaurant was closing, and they stayed open late for us.

Good place for a stop over if you're travelling. Comfortable beds. Nice bathroom with a washing machine. A kitchen with basic equipment. If you're a light sleeper this place may not be for you as it's right by a major road and fairly noisy.
