Great location for travelling around the ring road. Nice quiet room overlooking the lake. Breakfast was good too. We did get a sulphur type smell in the shower room but it wasn't bad enough to complain about.

Best thing about this hotel is the aurora calling service, was able to view the aurora while our stay, love the view since it’s a lake at the back of the hotel and make it easier to take aurora photos there. Towels not so clean and housekeeping did not check the shower gel bottles as it was empty when we checked in. Staffs are helpful to give us extra bottle of shower gel to use, overall still recommend for this hotel.
