We stayed here after one of our glacier hikes. It had everything you would need. The showers in the bathroom was a bit small. Other than that it was an overall good stay.

This area doesn’t have a lot of choices but this is a great choice. Lots of parking, excellent breakfast and friendly staff. They offer a Northern Lights wake up call so you don’t miss out, a nice touch! Would definitely recommend this hotel.

This is a basic hotel with a good location. The room met our needs for our one night stay. The breakfast buffet was the best part with lots of options and plenty to eat. We appreciated the “aurora wake up service”, added our name to the call list and promptly received a call when they came out in the sky. Thank you!

It’s an older hotel but nice staff and great location. Good breakfast, good dinner but expensive but then again everything is expensive in Iceland. One of the few places around to eat so having a good restaurant at the hotel was appreciated! You can walk from the hotel to the park and glacial lakes within minutes. Rooms and beds were weathered but clean. Expensive overall but location was great.
