The room was clean. Washer and dryer combo machine in the room. Laundry facilities are in very short supply in Iceland and your clothes are going to get wet! The refrigerator REAKED like fish, bad, so bad. Cute sauna and hot tub. By a beautiful river but no view from the room.

Stayed for one night with my husband. Plenty of parking. The one member of staff (30. Oct 2024) who checked us in, cooked our dinner, and cleaned up was awesome. We found it a little inconvenient to exit the reception area to re-enter the area with the rooms, especially as it was drizzling. The kitchenette was stocked with the necessary tools for self-catering. The sauna and hot tub were clean and adequate. Unfortunately, our shower flooded the entire bathroom. The hotel is a little remote, but the view outside of our window made up for that. Thus, we both had a good night's sleep and found the hotel very peaceful. It would be a good stopover to the Snaefellsness peninsula. Overall, a pleasant stay and would stay again.

There is a kitchen, a semiautomatic washer/dryer, breakfast buffet. It is very thoughtful. There are pots and pans utensils, very convenient. The washer is a plus. The Only thing that is not as expected is the water flow/sip out of the shower stall, we need to wipe it dry from time to time.
