Nice hotel, includes a restaurant (complimentary brrakfast). A bit weathered, small shower, comfy beds, friendly staff who will wake you if auroras happening at night.

This area doesn’t have a lot of choices but this is a great choice. Lots of parking, excellent breakfast and friendly staff. They offer a Northern Lights wake up call so you don’t miss out, a nice touch! Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The food was great with multiple options. Hiking right behind the hotel so beautiful. they saved items for me that I had left behind when I checked out. I was easily able to stop back by and pick them up before leaving the country.

8/10 Very good

This is a basic hotel with a good location. The room met our needs for our one night stay. The breakfast buffet was the best part with lots of options and plenty to eat. We appreciated the “aurora wake up service”, added our name to the call list and promptly received a call when they came out in the sky. Thank you!
Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s an older hotel but nice staff and great location. Good breakfast, good dinner but expensive but then again everything is expensive in Iceland. One of the few places around to eat so having a good restaurant at the hotel was appreciated! You can walk from the hotel to the park and glacial lakes within minutes. Rooms and beds were weathered but clean. Expensive overall but location was great.
