The beds were super comfortable and despite being in the city, it was a very quiet place. The breakfast buffet was the best we have found in all of Iceland! We loved the retro decorating.

Nikos Germany

Everything was absolutely fantastic! Location, facilities, linens, staff, clean, great restaurant in house for dinner and an ABSOLUTELY fantastic breakfast included. Breakfast included scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, FULL buffet of everything traditional PLUS pickled herring if you are a seafood lover. The restaurant in house is VERY good. The seafood broiled pot for dinner was extraordinary and breakfast was just as good…all in house. THIS IS THE ONE!!!!

Room was just what we needed. Nothing fancy but perfect for one night as we passed through east Iceland. It's in a small town so it is exactly what you'd expect. Enjoyed breakfast as well.

Ben United States of America

The bed was very comfortable, just the room was a little small with 2 twin beds. No issues at all.
