The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly! There is a restaurant 1 minute down the road, which was great. My only recommendation is maybe to add cups to the room so that guests may drink water from the two if they are thirsty. We even saw the northern lights from our room. Overall a great stay.

The room is clean and spacious with the most amazing views by your window. The food is great, with just a few items in the menu but all tasted so good. Highly recommend this hotel.

Perfect location between Pingvellir National Park and Skokkur Geyser and Golfoss Waterfalls. Very nice dinner at the hotel restaurant and wonderful pizza just down the road. Don’t miss the Fontana Thermal Hot Springs! We were there the last day before closing for remodeling so we would love to return after reopening.

Our stay was very nice. I’m was a little noisy because we opened a window and other guests were standing outside at times. The breakfast was delightful and the homemade bread was such a treat with the lovely jam and marmalade.

Good for a road trip stop
The hotel was a good stop for our road trip. Nothing special, decent and clean room, minimial confort (basic matress, no tv, no appliances).
But the hotel has a restaurant / bar with a coffee machine for breakfeast that was really appreciated!
