    Accommodations where quite and comfortable. The individual accommodation was great for our stay. We where given accommodation that I would have called a suite, bed room, sitting area and a private bath. The breakfast included the typical European and English breakfasts, very good. Accommodations where quiet and comfortable. They also had hot tubs which were nice after a day of hiking in the cool damp weather.

    The green carpet degraded the room. The tub is very small with a step seat which may be a trip hazard.

    The room is spacious. We arrived near midnight and found that the cot keeps collapsing. We talked to the young lady at the reception and she came to the room and confirmed the condition. 10 or 15 min. later, she sent a much better cot. We appreciated that. The breakfast was very good.

    There were mentions about the hot tubs everywhere and when we went to use it, they were not working and had cold water, so it felt very unfortunate.

    Supermarket and gas station were on the other side of the road, and a super cute store was also close.

    Hotel is a bit dated. Room had a musty smell - we opened the window and that helped a bit.

    Staff was delightful. The hotel and our room was clean.

    The doors were not soundproof and we could hear guests talking loudly in the hallway past 10pm and early in the morning. One downside of the buffet is that I could see one of the guests coughing into his hand near the pastries then proceeded to grab a pastry.

    Breakfast was what is expected. Enjoyed that I could get some espresso and pastries. Dinner was great. The staff were all friendly. The room was large and clean, but seemed a bit out dated. The bathroom was clean and the hot water shower was great.

    A very comfortable hotel with a clean family room.

    A slight downside of the dryness and heat of the room was that the room was slightly too warm. Waking up in the night sweating is not what you would expect in Iceland. The duvet (blanket) was quite thick for the temperature. When we checked in, we were recommended to take our breakfast after 8.30, as there were three large groups leaving early. We could not follow the recommendation due to our own schedule and started our breakfast at 8. We did fit in the lobby where the breakfast was served, but some dishes had been consumed and were not replenished. Nothing very critical, though. Overall, the negatives were very minor compared to the positives. We were positively surprised by the hotel.

    We made a last-minute reservation two days before our stay, as we were mostly based in Reykjavik but needed to stay one night further east for logistical reasons. Finding a family room for our family of three (parents plus a ten-year old) was a pleasant surprise. The hotel does not look that fancy from the outside but is clean and nice inside. What we valued very much — and what is not that common in Iceland — was the heat and dryness in the room. We came there drenched but our clothes were dry by the morning! Even the hotel towels dried during the night. Also, it felt luxurious to dip into a hot tub after a day in the rain. Our room was at the end of a corridor and very quiet. Other guests seemed to be mostly Asian tourists who continued their journey relatively early in the morning. The breakfast was rather good in the Nordic terms; not that much variety but anything essential did not seem to be missing. Check-in and check-out were easy and quick.

    Our room was hot like a furnace. Radiator wasn’t on but room was uncomfortably hot even with the window open for an hour with cool temperature outside. (Hallway was much cooler on same floor, too.)

    Friendly and helpful staff. Restaurant punches above its weight.

    Decor was on the older side and the dinner/drinks was quite expensive.

    The hot tub was great for looking at the stars and was very very warm (needed!). Breakfast was good with even a waffle maker present. Spacious rooms and we were across the hall from each other. Lots of parking.
