Disappointed
This hotel has zero to poor internet if this is a priority for you. Besides their issue with the internet it is also in ab area where you get zero to poor internet off your own mobile network. This was something I asked for prior to booking and was told tge internet was perfectly fine. The initial response when I got there was they can't guarantee internet in the rooms. After not taking no for an answer they got a device an internet extender to solve my issue which was business related. However that did nothing for the other guests as they were in the common areas trying to get signal. As for the rest of the hotel out if 5 hotels we stayed at in Iceland it was the most dated and took last place. For what they charge you can do much much better.

The property is very old time traditional. Dated to some degree with quite a few services either not operable or diminished in some way. Example: the elevator can not hold passenger weight and so a sign describes its use now as only for luggage. You have to walk up or down stairs to meet the elevator if you choose not to carry your luggage up stairs.
The Wi-Fi is terrible and only available in lounge areas.
Breakfast was OK but not great. Much of the warm food was actually cold.
Overall not the greatest choice we made in Iceland.

This hotel was nice to stay at on the ring road. Staff were friendly and lots of parking. It was spotless. There is a restaurant which was good as there is not much around. The hotel is dated but it has a family style charm, like decades of family handicrafts giving it a warm vibe.

We enjoyed our short stay here. Breakfast and dinner was delicious (only breakfast was free). The rooms were clean, warm, and cozy. Lots of antiques throughout the building. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling south of Iceland.
