A modern hotel with good space and a nice location. Reasonable value (for Iceland), the breakfast was really great - best we had on the trip. Good communication & responsiveness. We also ate in the restaurant in the evening and it was very nice.

Edward France

- Superb breakfast: large selection of fruits, very tasty croisssants and breads, vegan cheese and dressings available! - Large and modern rooms including a large flat TV - 2 min drive to Gulfoss Waterfall and only 10 min to the Geysir - Peaceful surroundings - Very tasty and high quality dinner available (for a reasonable price)
