Absolutely wonderful! We had a quadruple room; two twins and a king. Perfect for our family of 4. The food at the onsite restaurant was fantastic and the staff was too. Breakfast was included with the room andxwas also fantastic! The views are amazing as well. Highly recommend.

Lodgings in this area are generally expensive so the review is ignoring that aspect. The hotel is old but for most part it doesn’t seem dated. Room interiors were bright and very clean but bathroom can use minor refresh to fittings. Staff was very friendly and ready to help. Breakfast was served in a lovely cafeteria , had lots of selections and quite wonderful.

Quirky large hotel full of Icelandic memorabilia in the common areas. Good place to break the journey across southern Iceland.
Comfortable room.
Annoying that wifi is so bad (I had some work to do & had to give up).
Good breakfast was included which was very welcome.

When I checked in, I was told that there was no WiFi service in the rooms. If you want to use WiFi, you'd have to work in the lobby. However, I was able to get WiFi service in my room with no problem. So, YMMV depending on the room you get.
