Staff helpful. All basic amenities (even shampoo conditioner and bath gel!) and a hot water kettle. Helpful for us tea drinkers. Restaurant serves good horse and lamb steaks at reasonable price (by Icelandic standard) and a good breakfast spread. Easy to locate just off the round island Hwy 1.

This is an older property that could use some updates... carpets, linens and the bathroom. It did have everything we need and it was a sight for sore eyes after driving from the east in a snow storm. The staff were amazing... friendly and wanted to help however they could. I would recommend this property.

Comfortable hotel with Sulfur smell in the water
The people were friendly here. They have an onsite restaurant and the food was good as well as the included breakfast. The only negative was the hydrogen sulfide smell to the water made taking a shower a bit of an Icelandic experience.

I enjoyed an early morning walk from the hotel.
The room itself was worn and in need of updating (including the towels and the mattress). The television was non-functional. The receptionist seemed uninterested on check-in. This was the most disappointing property of the 8 we stayed in over 11 days.
Breakfast was good but I wouldn't revisit this hotel unless it was absolute must.
