Nice simple hotel. Great place to book for a couple of days after flying from States and before a cruise. Quiet and away from Reykjavík but not to far to access with a 15 minute drive.

It was simple. If you want simple then it's for you. We would have loved a mini fridge, the hotel website said that the rooms had one but didn't actually. Advertising for a hot tub and sauna, but they are actually in the private gym next door and you need to go outside and in a different door to use them. We requested a double bed, and got 2 single beds, which wasn't terrible as we pushed them together but would have been nice to know.
