Reviews
2. The wait staff at the restaurant was so nice!
3. The food at the restaurants wasn’t great — way too salty and seasoned and the vegan option had no protein.
Easy location — 2 hours from the airport and the drive was scenic.
Otherwise, good Fosshotel level of service and rooms.
Happy hour from 4-6pm, 900ISK for Gull draft beers.
Wine pairing- mega pint of wine served. Haha
All in all, it was a successful stay.
