A bit hard to find since the sign was not lit from the street/road and we arrived after dark.
The location was good and quiet. Spacious rooms and of the 8 places we stayed in Iceland this time around the country, this is hotel with the best lighting! The bathtoom was also the best equipped with plenty of surfaces to put your toiletries and a bathtub/shower well enclosed so water doesnt splatter all atound. Good breakfast included.

Spacious room, comfortable beds, good views, friendly and helpful staff. Out of my expectation, there is a lift in the hotel so we didn't have to bring our luggage up to 3rd floor. Breakfast is very good, and there is hot food served. Food in the restaurant is good, value for money.

There was a little bit strange small in the room. ( We couldn't recognize what was that.)
This small hotel is near Myvtan and Skútustaðagígar. So the veiw is amazing. You could see Myvtan in your room directly. It's a perfect place to see northern light, and there is Aurora notification for the guest. The staff is very friendly. The breakfast is also good.
