Terri, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

Julie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We were greeted with nice staff and offering free coffee. This place was near the Nature baths and really cool volcanic scenery. Nice surprise for our accommodations to have a room to sleep in and then a separate room for lounging and luggage to go in. The dinner options were few but great. We ate a local farm that was upscale, but very un-assuming. The food was awesome. We were only there for one night, but we would definitely go back since there was a lot of different things that we didn't get to explore in the area.
Clair, 1-night trip

Great hotel by lake

Hotel doesnt look good on outside (ripped signage) but it great on inside. We stayed on 3rd floor with great views of lake. Room super clean and looked new. Bathroom very clean and new. Food was good. Breakfast was buffet style. Staff spoke english and were very friendly.
Colin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It just delivered above all expectations.
Johannes, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hotel, excellent breakfast with all amenities including bacon, sausages and eggs. The only thing that made it grade were the midges. They were everywhere. Can’t be outside because they were so bothersome
Stephanie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Big rooms, excellent food in the restaurant and for breakfast, friendly and helpful staff.
Eugene, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Zhitao, 1-night trip

We have an excellent stay with this hotel.
