Fast and efficient at the front desk. Breakfast buffet was ample and fresh. Bar in the hotel. In person the hotel seemed on a smaller scale than pictured.
Pamela, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice simple hotel. Great place to book for a couple of days after flying from States and before a cruise. Quiet and away from Reykjavík but not to far to access with a 15 minute drive.

10/10 Exceptional

We didn't want to stay in the city so great location for us. Free parking and free breakfast saves travelers a lot of money. Gym is next door and access is included. Good Thai restaurant and grocery store within walking distance. Rooms and beds were small, but very clean. No mini fridge or microwave. Definitely recommend this hotel.
