to get started.

It was such a nice stay, really comfy, so clean. The shared lounge is so good. Kitchen was good. The owner was nice. Perfect !! And the beds are so so good !! Such a nice sleep too.

Cecile, Australia

Comfortable beds. Living room upstairs so you can lie down and enjoy the TV! Free coffee and instant noodles. Spoon and fork are free to use.

Lai, Japan

This was the most wholesome place I stayed on my 11 day Iceland vacation. I got into town late and the owner offered to cook me dinner since most everything else in town was closed for the evening. I was stunned more people weren't here given that the rooms were comfortable for a night and had private showers. Loved this place.

Jason, USA

We were made very welcome here and having a restaurant on site was just what we needed. The home-cooked meals were excellent and it was very easy to make hot beverages.

Sally, United Kingdom

Great clean place to stay the night when driving for many hours.

Jose, Switzerland

Great host. Super clean with comfy beds and an amazing rain shower head. Complimentary tea and coffee and cup-a-soups. Really good home cooked food at restaurant. Lots of public space to use.

Mb, Australia

The owner is so kind, and helpful There is a cosy leaving room and tv room

Yohan, Australia

the host was really nice, we arrived at the property at 2 am and he met us there for the check in. The place was spartan with tiny rooms ( I stayed in a single room although the doubles were good sized). it had everything necessary for a good night's sleep. super clean and with a functional bathroom. Good breakfast with home made bread and cakes. It's on the main road in the village so easy to get to and perfect stop for who is travelling along the Ring Road.

Antonella, Italy

Very friendly host. Beautiful recently refurbished room. Excellent shower room. Good cafe on site. We loved it here. Fresh home made bread for breakfast - the nicest bread our son has ever tasted!!

Sally, United Kingdom

Clean room with private bathroom. Room was a bit bigger than the standard, with also two sofas. Chance to have dinner (good and the prices are in line with the Icelandic ones) and breakfast.

“Saxa moved us to another hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
Several days before arriving, we received a message from the hotel saying they had a problem and would need to book us at another hotel. The substitute hotel was fine, but we met other people there who had also been booked at Saxa and had also been moved. We had actually driven by Saxa on the way to the other hotel and saw people entering the hotel, so am guessing Saxa had overbooked.

The only negative I have to say about the stay was that the bed was on the harder side for my taste but my family slept through the nights in comfort.
The staff was amazing, assisted us with everything we needed. The stay was very pleasant and rooms lovely. Everything very clean. We would definitely stay there again.
