It stinks!!! Literally, I wish I never had booked this hotel. Being that is located at a major Icelandic attraction one would think it’s a nice hotel. But no, hotel is super dirty, very old hotel.. did I say ‘old’??? needs a major renovation and updates in room and lobby. Don’t get fooled by the pictures. And whats even worse!!??! It smells like rotten eggs in the rooms because of the hot springs around the area. The hotel does not filters their hot water so that’s why smells like that. We complained but nothing was done. Staff very incompetent and inexperienced with guests. Carpet was filthy I was afraid of bed bugs. Luckily was only for one night -in-and-out. Breakfast was just average hot dishes were cold.

We stayed as a family of four (kids 5 & 10) and loved every moment. The location is unbeatable — right next to Skógafoss waterfall, visible from our room! Comfortable, clean, and family‑friendly. Breakfast was fresh, delicious, and had great variety. Perfect base for exploring the Golden Circle and South Coast. Highly recommend!
