Reviews
It got chilly outside the bed covers and we couldn’t see where to adjust temp, but didn’t disrupt sleeping. There is a supermarket just 2 minutes away, a restaurant, and a cool lake. This is a small populated area though please note.
This was also the night we saw the Northern Lights (as right near to Pingvellir Park), just make sure you drive out of the street lit area.
Worth the value, especially considering Iceland prices.
But the owners of the hotel were kind and easy to reach. They respond very fast. Also the facilities of the room were great and the room was very clean and new.
Good location for us but very basic accomodation for the price . We found the mattress too firm and the pillows are awful / I’d rather sleep on a rolled up jumper !
Nice facilities and easy to access
Good value (for Iceland anyway!) accommodation in a great central location for all the major sites - Golden Circle, Black sandy beach at Vik and West Iceland. Convenient enough for airport too.
