Daniel

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property is very old time traditional. Dated to some degree with quite a few services either not operable or diminished in some way. Example: the elevator can not hold passenger weight and so a sign describes its use now as only for luggage. You have to walk up or down stairs to meet the elevator if you choose not to carry your luggage up stairs. The Wi-Fi is terrible and only available in lounge areas. Breakfast was OK but not great. Much of the warm food was actually cold. Overall not the greatest choice we made in Iceland.

This hotel was nice to stay at on the ring road. Staff were friendly and lots of parking. It was spotless. There is a restaurant which was good as there is not much around. The hotel is dated but it has a family style charm, like decades of family handicrafts giving it a warm vibe.

We enjoyed our short stay here. Breakfast and dinner was delicious (only breakfast was free). The rooms were clean, warm, and cozy. Lots of antiques throughout the building. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling south of Iceland.

Clean, spacious, well preserved 1970/80 hotel
Stayed here one night as part of my round-trip around Iceland. Hotel is really well maintained & by far the largest Hotel on the side of the road I stayed at. Everything feels original from the 70/80 but really well maintained - nothing felt neglected. So it was interesting to stay there but feel perfectly comfortable. Room was huge compared to other hotels I stayed at during my trip and th breakfast was one of the best as well, going well beyond the bare minimum of break, meat, cheese, spreads, cereals, coffee, juices. But instead adding a whole bunch of extras which was a nice change.

The closest town is about 50km away, nothing is close by. The lamb of dinner cooked very dry, and in small portion, probably, that is the way it is. You can stop in Hofn town, that is the closest town, at least, you have a lot of option for dinner.
