"This was right by the buses for tours so this was a great hotel. Food in the lower floor was great. We ordered the fish and chips. Best meal we had in Iceland. We took a cab to the Perlan Expo because it was the only thing opened after 5. Cab driver was very informative and the Perlan place was great. We loved the Northern Light show and the ice cave. (I brought my 15 yr. old grandson). We reserved tours thru Viator to do the Golden Circle and Secret Lagoon and Northern Lights. That was a GREAT tour. Picked us up right outside the hotel. 2 tours in one. The hotel staff was wonderful. Our rooms were fine, beds comfortable. Perfect hotel."

The rooms are a good size for 2 people w a king bed. The bathroom is a little small but nothing that bothered us. Hairdryer provided , towels, and nice heater to beat the chill.

"The building and the rooms are a little old and shabby. But everythig reasonably clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the organization (booking, access) etc. worked very well and reliably. The fellow guests were civilized, quiet, clean, and friendly. I hadn't shared a toilet and bathroom in a very long time; the sky-high hotel prices in Reykjavik made me resort to this guesthouse. I didn't regret the decision; I felt comfortable overall."
