4/10 Fair

No value for money

Hotel is below average meanwhile price is quite high, no value for money at all. Room was in a bad condition, it’s actually like a Motel or Hostel.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a really great experience here and the best mattresses we've found by far. This is the 5th night in Iceland for us and the previous 4 hotels the mattresses were not good at all. This hotel was lovely in every respect. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast they offered was probably the nicest one I've ever had - anywhere. Good water, good tv, good location, nice hotel :-)

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, good food, and the best staff! They work with you to help solve your issues. The only complaint I would mention is that the rooms are kind of small.

6/10 Good

The rooms were very dingy. The bathroom was deplorable. No elevators and no one to help if you have to haul your luggage. Breakfast was disappointing. Dinner was overpriced. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I should have looked at the Google rating (which is around 3) and it is correctly so.
Dipanjan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel room itself was very nice. It was the first room we have stayed at in Iceland with multiple pillows. The shower was inconsistent in its ability to stay hot, but wouldn’t go as far to say it got cold when it shouldn’t have been. Opening a window was a must, as it got a little stuffy and warm overnight. The room did not come with a mini fridge. The toilet was also not the strongest, as it required multiple flushes in some instances. The onsite restaurant was nice. It was vegan friendly, but not an abundance of options. The menu was definitely on the pricier side, but had a wide array of options for someone with an unrestricted diet. Very pretty views from rooms. Breakfast was good. There was an assortment of fruits, vegetables, meats, breads, coffee, tea, cereal, and juices.

Hôtel très agréable. Chambres propres et bien agencées. Hôtel bien situé pour y passer une ou deux nuits.

6/10 Good

Not recommended

This is a hotel with rooms that are very old and dated. Tiny tiny bathroom with only an overhead shower. No shower wand or shower cap so be prepared to get your hair wet. No tissues, hair conditioner or other amenities you would expect at this price point. Hair dryer provided is also ancient. Requires you to continuously squeeze the handle in order for air to flow. Then it practically overheats. No cool button. Ridiculous place. No staff around in the breakfast area. Most of the food was cold and picked over by 9 am. There are very few hotels and guesthouses in this area so they can do what they want and guests have to take it. If you can book elsewhere, I suggest doing so.

조식을 알차게 주는 숙소

아침을 든든하게 먹고 갈 수 있어서 인상깊었던 숙소였습니다. 1층에 배정받으면 마을 전체 뷰를 따로 볼 수는 없으니 참고 바랍니다.

The room was so clean and lovely! The beds absolutely comfortable, and the staff were so kind and genuine. I felt very safe here, and enjoyed the beautiful complimentary breakfast they offered! Would happily stay here again!

I didn't like it as it's way too pricey for its quality.
