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.

Clean, spacious, well preserved 1970/80 hotel
Stayed here one night as part of my round-trip around Iceland. Hotel is really well maintained & by far the largest Hotel on the side of the road I stayed at.
Everything feels original from the 70/80 but really well maintained - nothing felt neglected. So it was interesting to stay there but feel perfectly comfortable.
Room was huge compared to other hotels I stayed at during my trip and th breakfast was one of the best as well, going well beyond the bare minimum of break, meat, cheese, spreads, cereals, coffee, juices. But instead adding a whole bunch of extras which was a nice change.

The hotel was satisfactory in terms of cleanliness and service quality. However, it is important to note that the Wi-Fi connectivity in my room was inadequate, resulting in difficulties in establishing a stable connection.

This was a nice place to stay. Very comfortable. Included buffet breakfast was nice; dinner at the hotel was good. Wi Fi didn't work in the room (but we had the farthest room away from the main area at the hotel) We enjoyed our stay for 2 nights and would stay again if came back.

This is an older hotel property with a ton of character. The rooms are very large, clean, and comfortable with black out curtains. The breakfast was included and delicious with homemade breads and jams- there was something each person in our family enjoyed! The owner’s daughter worked reception and she was so king and lovely answering all our questions about Iceland and the area. We really can’t recommend this place enough! Some people have complained that the WiFi isn’t strong- and this is true- but the food and character and welcoming vibe of the place more than makes up for this. Would recommend to others!

Lovely hotel with comfy beds and good light blocking shades! Had a large family room to fit our group of 5 with private bath. The buffet breakfast was delicious with a variety of hot, cold items. It was included in the price which was a nice surprise.
