Nice low key road hotel. Breakfast was minimalistic compared to other hotels.
Bathroom drain was clogged.
Windows facing hotel entrace where people would go out to smoke, so smell cam into the room, as well as midges, since no screens on windows

When we arrived around 5:00 there was nobody at the front desk. We called a number on their card and a woman answered and said she would come back. She came within 5 minutes. Just as she arrived another woman came out from somewhere to help. It was just odd.

Staff helpful. All basic amenities (even shampoo conditioner and bath gel!) and a hot water kettle. Helpful for us tea drinkers. Restaurant serves good horse and lamb steaks at reasonable price (by Icelandic standard) and a good breakfast spread. Easy to locate just off the round island Hwy 1.

The people were friendly here. They have an onsite restaurant and the food was good as well as the included breakfast. The only negative was the hydrogen sulfide smell to the water made taking a shower a bit of an Icelandic experience.

Got in super late. Staff was super helpful. Had my son join last minute and she put a mattress together in our room for us. Super helpful.

This is an older property that could use some updates... carpets, linens and the bathroom. It did have everything we need and it was a sight for sore eyes after driving from the east in a snow storm. The staff were amazing... friendly and wanted to help however they could. I would recommend this property.

Great hotel! Staff were amazing. Rooms spacious and clean. Restaurant was quite limited. Small gas station/convenience store across the street, otherwise for anything else it’s a 30 minute drive. Was everything we needed though. Would stay here again.

It's just to spend the night and continue with the itinerary. Probably I will not recommend, mainly because it is mentioned that reception is available until 22.00 and I arrived by 20.30 and no one was there, most of the lights turned off and only an envelope with my name and key.
