Nice hotel - slightly older facility with a lot of communal lounge spaces to hang out with our party and quiet rooms with comfortable beds. We paid for the expensive breakfast buffet (which was quite good) because there really were no cafes or grocery stores open early in the AM.

The hotel is not fancy but it doesn't have to be. The chief/manager was so very kind and made me a packed lunch instead of the contineal breakfast. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. Was a really special spot and one of the highlights of my trip.

Very clean, very peaceful place! Home-made bread for breakfast (still warm). The restaurant is good even if expensive but like all restaurants in Iceland. Only thing to know (it was not a problem for us but it is important for visitors to know) the bathroom was tiny and you’re better go to the toilet beige taking a shower because you will make the floor absolutely wet (just a curtain). We managed and was not a problem for us at all.
