    A bit sterile feeling in regards to decor. No extras, not even water glasses readily accessible.

    Ease of check-in and comfy beds. Continental Breakfast option was affordable and yummy!

    Minimal equipment only, but you can get hot water and use the tables in the breakfast room

    Functional motel style accommodation just some minutes outside of Höfn - very clean. Good spot to venture further south into the glaciers.

    The woman who greets you for breakfast is the sweetest person we met the entire trip-and she makes a great fried egg. The rooms were comfortable and clean with very good blackout curtains--this was the only location during our trip that I didn't have to wear a sleep mask.

    better description of the common facilities that we were able to use. I wasn't sure whether there was a fridge to put our few picnic items, nor did I realise about the use of the breakfast room with hot water, cutlery, plates etc.. until we got there so it was hard to know whether we could prepare food. We got there very late.

    Room was clean and spacious enough. Was great to have the use of the breakfast room outside of breakfast hours, but the description wasn't clear. instructions on how to get into the room were good and timely

    The floors in the rooms hurt to walk on, but we just put on socks to solve that issue.

    The rooms were very clean and comfortable with a nice view. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was very kind and helpful. It is very quiet, outside of town.

    The smell in the room was a mix of toilet odor and sweat.. The bathroom smell was also uncomfortable, despite the ventilation that was running all night long, obstructing our sleep.. No TV in the room, not even a dustbin.. And all this at a price of 340€. That’s a shame.. Don’t book for more than 120€

    Breakfast was adequate, but very expensive for what was offered compared to other accommodation we stayed at on our Iceland road trip.

    Lovely room and easy check in procedure. Comfortable beds. Very quiet location slightly out of Höfn.

    There was no soap in the bathroom and no trash bin in the room.

    The view was absolutely amazing. Modern room, nice design. What we liked the most is how fast personnel replied through the booking and handled our requests.

    We stayed at multiple accommodations during our trip, and this was one of the most expensive. In our opinion, the value didn’t quite match the price—we expected a bit more for what we paid. There was no TV (disappointment for kid:), and room was very basic. But overall, we enjoyed our stay.

    We loved staying here! The check-in process was simple and smooth. The location is convenient—right next to Route 1—making it easy to get around. We really liked the shared dining area, where we could heat up our food and make tea and coffee (free). The room was clean and comfortable, with a private bathroom. We didn't meet staff in the reception, we only met one staff member - lovely woman, who was preparing breakfast for guests who ordered it.

    A great stay while we were completing the ring road. The rooms were nothing special but it was exactly what we needed after a long day. The breakfast was limited but needed for fueling for the day. The rooms were very clean!

    Everything is contactless so I had to call a number for support when my reservation could not be found. Lady on the line was able to straighten things out.

    Room was as described and the bathroom was cavernous.

    Upon booking, I was told I would hear from the property manager with check in instructions, 2 days prior to check in. I did not hear anything so I reached out the day before check in. I got no response. I reached out again the morning of check in - tried to call and no one answered. Finally received an email later that morning with the info. We had to leave our phones on airplane mode and could only check emails or make calls when WiFi was accessible - this is what made us stressed having not received the email with information when we were told we would. If you are not going to send the check in info two days prior then do not state that you will and please respond to emails or calls.

    Good location and room was clean and tidy
