Did not realise that the bar attached to the property was also a night club, it was a little too loud for our tastes. But the staff were very friendly, the breakfast was delicious and the rooms were very clean.

4/10 Fair

The bathrooms were a little old and very tiny, and the water smelled bad and rotten. Front desk and restaurant staff were pretty good.
Kiran, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room itself was adequate. The shower is a little slippery for older folks. Beds were comfortable and the double pillows were an added bonus. The main issue was the restaurant. It appeared that service in that restaurant differs depending on the color of one’s skin which was disappointing as it put a small damper on my mother’s dream trip.

Restaurant on site has great food, happy hour 🎉 Great complimentary breakfast. Rooms are older but still great and cleaned well. Very happy with our stay!

Wonderful hotel and the staff was amazing! We felt so welcome. The room we got was great but as summer nights in Iceland are very bright the curtains could be better. At least have roller blinds behind the blackout curtains. The food at the restaurant was amazing as was the breakfast.

Simple hotel but exactly what we wanted. Very clean and friendly staff. Included breakfast was great!

Not a very friendly front desk staff, their free WiFi sucks, doesn’t work in rooms, works only near front desk. We had booked two rooms for two couples and they provided single beds that too in different directions.
Dhaval, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay in a little town.
Got caught here during a snow storm and they easily accommodated an extension. The rooms are big although we had to fully get everything out of the room so that they could clean. Breakfast was great. Decor was dated, but that would be my only minor complaint. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Small town, not much to do except for the baths and puffins (which we couldn’t see because the road was closed).

Overall, the hotel was good. The breakfast was the best one during my trip to Iceland. The staff were friendly, and the room felt clean but had a strange smell in addition to the sulfur smell found in Iceland.
