Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were well heated and comfortable but a bit outdated in style. The hotel was conveniently located with easy access to attractions, yet the overall cost was higher than expected due to currency conversion and extra fees.
The hotel rooms were very basic and on the smaller side, but suitable for a short stay. Despite feeling a bit cramped and overheated, the location was bright and modern, perfect for exploring Iceland. The service was a mix of excellent and uncooperative, with limited dining options available only at specific times. Despite the drawbacks, the nature around the hotel was beautiful and the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel was conveniently located within walking distance of a supermarket, gas station, and fast-food restaurant, making it convenient for travelers. The rooms were small with barely enough space for two twin beds, but could work for a small family. The check-in process was a bit delayed even after the official time, which was a downside.
The hotel offers a mix of pros and cons. The rooms were somewhat noisy due to scraping chair noises from the dining room below but were described as basic, possibly in an extension building. The service was excellent, going above and beyond to accommodate guests. The location provides easy access to explore the area, with some reports of lingering smells post-checkout. The dining experience was satisfactory with a good variety of choices but at a high price point.
The hotel room was a bit out of date but still provided a pretty decent stay. The double bed being two single beds pushed together was rather inconvenient. The service was very helpful and wonderful from a service perspective. The location was beautiful and offered some awesome hiking trails. The dining experience was above average with great quality food. Overall, a comfortable stay with good use but slightly outdated rooms.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant and convenient. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, although nothing extraordinary. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very friendly and accommodating. The location was ideal for exploring the area, situated between Reykjavik and Hofn. The dining experience was delicious, especially the dinner at the hotel. Overall, a great value for money option with some minor room for improvement.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were modern and comfortable, although a bit tiny with thin walls where noise from the hallway and nearby rooms could be heard. The service was friendly and attentive, with a few areas needing more attention to maintenance and cleaning. The location was perfect for exploring the nearby attractions, but I wished I could have stayed longer. The dining experience was top-notch with a brilliant breakfast, and the facilities were satisfactory.
