I mainly used this hotel as a one night stop off on the way to and back from the North. It is very comfortable, warm and modern. Food is very good especially for this type of transient hotel.
What really stands out is how amazingly helpful and friendly the staff are, they clearly recruit to a very high standard.

Great location for travelling around the ring road. The room was fine with a nice big wet room shower room. The breakfast was fine too. We had a room in the annex building and it was quiet.

The service that me and my colleagues received by staff-member Gyða and restaurant Chef Rúnar Þór was out of this world... we arrived late at night but Gyða had asked the Chef to keep the kitchen open and we got a fantastic meal upon arrival. All the dishes we tried were excellent, and the seafood soup was extraordinary!
