The owners and staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. They gave us information about the city/ country. They helped me getting in and out of our rental van, provided a step stool as well. I could not thank them enough for their hospitality.

Very near the airport with 24 hour check-in, which was great because we had a late flight and taxis are so expensive in Iceland. Breakfast was also good. Price/checkout was confusing because it is difficult to track price on hotels.com, account for currency in ISK, which fluctuates substantially daily, convert to Euros, then to USD.

We stayed here 1 night on an 18 hour layover. It is close to the airport and was easy to get to late at night after our flight got in. The guy at the front desk was friendly and quick checking us in. The breakfast was adequate and about what we expected. My husband thought the price was a little high, but then we read that Iceland is expensive. So for Iceland it’s probably priced normally. We stayed in a family room that would have slept 5, but our party only had 4. Overall I would stay here again. The beds and pillows were comfortable and we all slept well.
