Very nice property. Perfect place to stay on our way back to Reykjavik. It’s clean and quiet. The area was walkable and there was a nice restaurant in town. The breakfast was very good.
This was likely one of the smallest rooms I stayed in during my trip, but it was functional and clean. Windows, as you can see in the pictures are slim so the room feels a little cramped. Bathroom is also small but up to date, clean and functional.
The hotel sends out an email with a code to open up a key locker with your key in it, if you arrive after hours. Alternatively, you can communicate with them using a ring doorbell. So you can just do your trip and not have to worry about arriving at specific time.
Hotelroom had a smart TV with an active Netflix account for some reason, so I was able to watch a show to unwind before bed.
Breakfast was basic, nothing out of the ordinary, compared to the other places I stayed at during my roadtrip.
Staff seems reserved, but happy to help if anything is needed. I would stay here again when passing through. It was quite comfortable,
The owner Alla Dora is who will greet you. She has a wonderful inn and I think her value is on point with her pricing. A single person room does not have extra space, so meant for efficient travelers. I slept wonderfully and that is what matters
I will plan to go back again 😊
Serviceable, and no less than I expected. I slept well. As others have said, the evening friendliness was remarkably more friendly than the morning friendliness.
The staff was very friendly and the room spacious. The breakfast selection was fulfilling. Main thing to know is that the key for the room also opens the main door when the front desk is not manned and that checkin is during a four hour window.
The front desk lady could not find our reservation, then she claimed the reservation was not confirmed. After showing my Hotels.com confirmation, she had to clean a room us herself since the cleaner was on leave. Otherwise the hotel is fine.
