Maria United States of America

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.

Jim Canada

The room was spacious, the staff friendly and the breakfast really good and with variety

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!!!!

Mick United States of America

Nice contemporary fully updated room. Great shower. Excellent active resturant with locals. Breakfast was traditional, but with and extra flair. High marks.

Russell United States of America

Michal United States of America

We had a very good dinner at the hotel restoration

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.

Toppazzini United States of America

Our room was very nice. Comfy bed so we had a great sleep. We saw the northern lights over the hotel from the car park. Check in was very quick and easy. The breakfast was very good, plenty of options. It's continental but a good one. The shower has great pressure i liked the tiles on the walls. I would definitely recommend this hotel. It has everything you want for your ring road journey. Value, comfy beds, views, location, great breakfast and friendly staff.
