Clean and comfortable room and hotel looks new. Awesome water pressure in the shower which seems to be a rarity in Iceland. Very nice staff and good breakfast (the bread is excellent ). Easy to get everywhere from this hotel. Lots of parking. Would absolutely stay here again

Stayed at this hotel twice, once in the beginning, and also at the end of our trip around Iceland. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Lots of well lit parking, it’s just off the highway, but quiet, We preferred the rooms on the back of the building. The breakfast was excellent, and the tv actually had some good channels.

We didn't want to stay in the city so great location for us. Free parking and free breakfast saves travelers a lot of money. Gym is next door and access is included. Good Thai restaurant and grocery store within walking distance. Rooms and beds were small, but very clean. No mini fridge or microwave. Definitely recommend this hotel.
