Extremely disappointing and overpriced. We stayed at 10 different hotels with different price range in Iceland this June. This one was THE WORST value for the money paid. Outdated room with an awful uncomfortable shower that would flood the whole bathroom after the shower is used. Breakfast buffet did not taste fresh by 9am. Awful experience I wish we would stay somewhere else. The hotel staff is not helpful at all - the main objective clearly is the to make money of the tourists by any means.

Thought slightly old building, it was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was nice. One minus point is there is no mesh window screen to block the midges. Whenever you open the window, there are swarm of midges coming in. They are non biting, just annoying. A mesh window screen should do the trick.

This property is dated, needs renovated! I don’t agree with all the high ratings! It is clean but rooms are noisy can hear every guest coming in and out and talking! Food choices not great and very pricey! Staff are very friendly! Would opt for something a bit more updated if visited area again!

The room was too hot and the front desk informed us about no hot water in the whole town due to construction nearby. However, the hot water was actually there with reduced pressure. The blackout curtains were useful. The breakfast buffet was good. The flies are annoying.

We loved the two staff that helped us check in. They were frank and humorous about the midges. The breakfast was great and the staff was excellent in the morning. The room was standard. Bed was comfortable especially after a day of hiking.

Great hotel by lake

Hotel doesnt look good on outside (ripped signage) but it great on inside. We stayed on 3rd floor with great views of lake. Room super clean and looked new. Bathroom very clean and new. Food was good. Breakfast was buffet style. Staff spoke english and were very friendly.
