After a long day driving Route 1 from Reykjavik, we easily found the hotel just a short distance from the highway. Plenty of free parking. We had twin beds and our room was very clean. I was pleasantly surprised to see a vegetarian dinner offered on the restaurant menu. The breakfast was a buffet with many selections. Service was prompt and friendly. After a good night’s sleep and a hardy breakfast, we were ready to resume our trip.

A nice cozy option for an overnighter

This is a functional hotel for couples for an overnight stay enroute to East Iceland on route 1. Breakfast was quite adequate and 24x7 freshly brewed coffee, tea and hot water is a great option for tired tourists needing it without using the processed packets that is common in most hotels. Location and view is great. Shower area is constrained as is common in most Iceland hotels and Airbnbs.

This quaint guesthouse was delightful. Our room had views of the hills and waterfalls. The restaurant on site was tasty and servers and staff friendly. The hotel is filled with antiques, which makes walking around more interesting. They also have several coffee machines and these drinks are free. Complimentary reakfast buffet included scrambled eggs, hot and cold breakfast meats, homemade jams and cakes, beans in tomato sauce, and fresh homemade bread. There is an interesting whale skeleton in front of the restaurant outside. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
