Reviews
The only downside was that the room directional signage wasn’t clearly visible from the car park—we ended up walking a big round in the winter cold to locate our room.
Close to Hofn, good location to stay while following the ring road.
The room was clean.
Breakfasts were available. We could use the microwave even though we did not have breakfast offered here.
