    Nice, traditional hotel well located for the glacier lagoon. Room was basic but clean and functional. Breakfast was good if you want to try traditional Icelandic food.

    Spacious comfortable room. Good hotel. Relatively close for glacier excursions near diamond beach. Easily accessible. Enough parking. Helpful and friendly staff. It’s a big complex with a lot of rooms, but we liked the (family friendly) vibe around the complex and in the halls to the rooms.

    A lovey family hotel in a remote, picturesque location right on the ring road. The family room was a great size, lots of room for luggage and space for children to play. The shower was a little outdated, however this didn't bother us. Staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant severed a variety of delicious meals and including a children's menu. The highlight was the breakfast spread, with an array of home made baked goods and preserves, hot options, cold meats and cheeses, cereals and fruit.

    The hotel is like a museum - so icelandic! Like you had a chance to stay in a family house with old traditions. It was precious for us to get acquainted with icelandic culture. The room was good, spacious, beds were comfortable. Breakfast was amazing!

    Breakfast was spectacular! Wonderful variety and excellent quality. Loved the artifacts displayed throughout the building, like a museum. Enjoyed using the common space for our own family gathering. Also good extra space in room and bathroom.
