A good location near the city but away from the noise and lights. The view from our windows were great. The best thing though is the people! Anna had lots of friendly advice and helpful suggestions and Birita was lovely. The owner also introduced himself.

Cozy and comfortable room. Location is within walking distance (10 minutes) of various places to eat and a grocery store. Does not have hairdryer and conditioner. The horse farm is about 10 minutes drive; highly recommend. The breakfast is ok but convenient (no bacon, no scrambled eggs; grill 66 has that and is 10-12 minutes walk). I would stay here again.

Everything is perfect, except we couldn’t get the mountain view and couldn’t see the northern light due to the weather! Apart from that, it was perfect, only 30 mins from the city by car, I will definitely recommend this hotel.

Amazing place

Our stay at this hotel over New year was nothing but a pleasure, from the minute we stepped into the hotel to the minute we left we were always welcomed. We even seen the northern lights on NYE! Breakfast was lovely and the family room we had was big and spacious. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel has lots of places to get food within a 2 minute walk along with 2 supermarkets. We will definitely be back 😊

This was the perfect spot for our family to stay before kicking off our Golden Circle day trip. The facilities were spotless, the morning breakfast was a hit for every single family member as well and the staff were lovely. Perhaps the highlight was the Northern Lights dancing right outside our windows.

Neighborhood stay

We stayed here so we could get a feel for other areas other than Reykjavík. It was more of a neighborhood rather than a tourist destination. It was a great chance to interact with everyday Icelanders for lack of a better term. We met some local farmers in the bar celebrating the gathering of their livestock for the winter. We learned that the day was a very big deal for them and felt privileged to have been included in celebrating their good fortune.
