Great hotel, excellent breakfast with all amenities including bacon, sausages and eggs. The only thing that made it grade were the midges. They were everywhere. Can’t be outside because they were so bothersome

Thought slightly old building, it was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was nice. One minus point is there is no mesh window screen to block the midges. Whenever you open the window, there are swarm of midges coming in. They are non biting, just annoying. A mesh window screen should do the trick.

The room was too hot and the front desk informed us about no hot water in the whole town due to construction nearby. However, the hot water was actually there with reduced pressure. The blackout curtains were useful. The breakfast buffet was good. The flies are annoying.

Aged rooms but very clean. Restaurant was excellent! Lobby is comfortable and we got very lucky to experience an incredible Northern Lights show! All staff was friendly and helpful! Pool table and darts were fun. Espresso machine accessible 24/7 helped us stay awake for the show and warmed us going in and outside all night.

Natallia

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Extremely disappointing and overpriced. We stayed at 10 different hotels with different price range in Iceland this June. This one was THE WORST value for the money paid. Outdated room with an awful uncomfortable shower that would flood the whole bathroom after the shower is used. Breakfast buffet did not taste fresh by 9am. Awful experience I wish we would stay somewhere else. The hotel staff is not helpful at all - the main objective clearly is the to make money of the tourists by any means.
