    Cosy gateway hotel to explore the region
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 2 nights

    More furnishings would be nice (like bedside tables or a closet). Some staircases are narrow and steep. Also, a water filter might be needed - water has a specific smell (probably healthy, but still).

    It is a small and newly constructed hotel in the middle of the fields with Icelandic horses and mountain views. Property is expanding, but all the construction is done very discreetly. Rooms are clean and very new. Beds are comfy. Breakfast is a very nice addition. Check-in is easy, and the staff is very nice. You will always find a hot coffee in the lobby.

    It would be the best if it had a kitchen you can use

    The breakfast was very good. Location is very peaceful and we ended up extending one night. Rooms are comfortable and the common area is cozy and comfy

    The bathroom could use a fan so the condensation doesn't collect and drop from the ceiling to the floor (this isn't a criticism, most hotels don't have bathroom fans). The staircase downstairs was quite narrow and difficult to manoeuvre luggage, but there was a fire exit door that we utilised.

    Off the beaten path. We arrived very late and our room was given to someone else despite the email with room number and code. There was much confusion with the booking system.

    Clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great.

    The water in the sink and douche smells like sulphur. Rooms are very small. No mosquito nets on windows. Expensive dinner. The room on the ground floor (aka basement) has a small window looking at the car wheels.

    Cozy and clean, self-checking, thermal baths are nearby. Good breakfast. A lot of board games in the lobby.

    It was quite hot and if you opened window then the mosquitos came in... Otherwise all great!

    Nice clean rooms, friendly staff. Beautiful views. P.S. Don't be alarmed by the smell of the water, it is just sulphur

    Maybe what would be needed is, night stands and a lamp next to the beds. But I assume that that is on the to do since it looked like the renovation is still in process.

    The whole house is newly renovated, and we were surprised how great everything was looking, since there were still some old pictures on the side. The location is great. The view Stunning. Breakfast was amazing. All in all amazing and in my opinion worth to book. For the price I expected something else, but was surprised how great it was! The family room was great

    Very cute but modern accommodation with the dining room looking onto the beautiful mountains. The rooms were cozy and clean and the accommodation had thoughtful touches throughout including tea and coffee stations. The breakfast in the morning had a huge selection and was more than I expected. Excellent value for money in a lovely location.

    It is remote, but I didn’t mind it personally.

    We had such an amazing stay and felt truly welcome and appreciated! The staff were so sweet and we had some good chats together. It was a super breakfast, which I love was included, especially for that price, which was one of the lowest on Iceland. We also enjoyed the most beautiful sunset looking over the fields and mountains.
