Loved the "remote" location and view of the glacier. Staff was wonderful. Great stop along the Ring Road at a good stopping point if you're starting a drive from Akureyri.

We stayed one night. The property was clearly given a superficial update: the lobby, facade, dining area, but everything beyond that was very dated and worn out. The brown carpet in the hallways was very worn, the room and bathroom finishes were outdated and not in the best of shape. If you are a side sleeper I might skip this hotel as the beds are incredibly firm. The shower in our room did not drain and the walls were paper thin, everything downstairs and the room next door could be heard. Breakfast was good. The only appeal of this property is the view from the dining room.
