This is a lovely hotel, with a faboulous view, the decor was not my choice but it was clean, warm and comfortable. The owners were very helpful regarding were we should and shouldn't go due to the amount of snow that had fallen, for which we were very grateful, as we were on a self drive holiday. The food is...

Without a doubt, one of the best places we stayed on our trip. When we arrived, one of the owners was at the front desk and she was incredibly helpful in both making our stay comfortable and in giving advice about what we could see and do during the limited daylight hours. Not only were her suggestions spot on, but... More

Our hotel room was basic but it good enough for 1 night stay and it was cozy with a nice view of the lake. The staff was very friendly and helped us track the Northern Lights and also helped us find our if our whale watching trip was still going out the next morning when we were checking out. The... More

We were a little bit concerned by negative reviews, however after staying here i can only wonder if these reviews were of a different place. The owners were so incredibly friendly, on two occasions they personally took us on excursions (a day trip to the village, bird museum and local craft shop and an evening visit to the nature baths)....

This hotel is fantastic, the rooms are beautiful and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We stayed in 5 different hotels during our journey around Iceland. This was without question the best! Beautiful furniture, lovely updated bathrooms, all the amenities you could ask for. We ate dinner in the hotel and we were extremely pleased with our meals. There... More

Although you would not say it from the outside, from the inside this hotel is very good. Actually the best hotel we stayed in during our trip in Island. Rooms and bathroom as you would expect them too be. Breakfast also good. Had very good dinners in the a la carte restaurant. Buffet was a little bit expensive, but buffets... More

The place was mostly empty in mid-September aside from one tour bus. We were told by the receptionist and the brochure in the room that the cafeteria (a moderately priced alternative to the restaurant) was open till 10pm in "winter". When we arrived at 7pm, we were told it had closed at 6pm. When I showed the person the brochure,... More

Stayed here 3 nights during our fly drive tour of Iceland. Received a very poor welcome from the young guy on reception who was more interested in pushing the evening buffet at 5900kr!! Our room was clean and comfortable with a view of the mountains. It was furnished with traditional furniture which felt a bit old fashioned. The location is... More

Lovely area and hotel provides good views and access. Accomodation was adequate again without tea coffee facilities. Best bit for me was the TV lounge on the top floor with great views over the lake. Breakfast was good with a better variety and quality than most. If you're in the area, go out to the Cowshed cafe, they milk the... More
