Reviews
The standard room was tiny with no room for luggage and two people.
The hot tub was lovely and great to use however
Great transport and shops/eateries nearby.
Beautiful view of the bay
All the staff speak fluent English.
Rooms are spacious and clean.
Staff friendly and helpful.
Breakfast is a nice range of continental foods.
Had a couple of meals in the restaurant next door and everything tasted great.
Nice base location to explore the golden circle.
The hotel is a 20-minute drive from the center of the capital Reykjavik. It is surrounded by a residential area with small lakes and churches, suitable for walks.
There are two types of rooms in this hotel. One is in the same building as the reception desk, and the other is an independent cabin opposite. The cabin has two floors. The first floor has a bed and a bunk bed, and the second floor has two beds, which can sleep up to 5 people. But the stairs to the second floor are very narrow. There is a bathroom on the first floor. The sewer in our room was blocked. The next day, we notified the front desk to repair it, but they didn't come. Later, we couldn't take a shower, so the hotel arranged another room for us to use the bathroom in that room.
The hotel's sauna room has no bathroom or changing room. The sauna room is for mixed use by men and women. Some guests chose to be naked, so we did not go in.
