The property was currently under construction. It seems that they are adding more rooms. So, there was some pounding and construction noises going on. The stay was pretty nice. Comparable to the accommodations we experienced around most of Iceland. I wish they would've informed us about the construction before we showed up, but they did not.

Right on the Ring Road, this hotel was a convenient stop for the night, with an excellent, hot breakfast. The room was spacious, and though the facility was a dated, the restaurant area had a rustic charm that we loved.

Comfy beds, free breakfast

We were so exhausted, we all fell into the most comfortable beds and slept. The place was a bit dated but none of that mattered as everything was clean and wonderful. The only drawback is that the free breakfast came with spoiled milk and got all of us sick from drinking it.

Clean property. Good for one night. When we got there, there was no one at the front desk. There was a sign that said to ring the bell, but the bell didn't work.

Not at all what I expected but it was ok. The outside of the property is dated and under construction but the room was very nice. Very basic, no frills hotel. Breakfast was ok, just the basics. The location is good. Store, bakery, restaurants within walking distance.

Is a good hotel to spend a night. Food is reasonable. Room was very hot. Mosquito outside cannot open the window. Since the hotel is carpeted, heavy carpet freshener smell throughout the hotel. The smell is not present and not welcoming.

Close to a town

Very nice small hotel with an attached restaurant. This was a one night stay and the room was adequate for the 3 of us. We left early so did not get to try the breakfast. It was quiet and comfortable.
