One of our favorite spots that we stayed at during our Iceland trip. We were able to see the northern lights the night we stayed. Loved the cleanliness of the room. The shower and toilet were all in one but large bathroom. Would stay here again.

The hotel concept is simple, just bathroom beds and a worktop. However it is cosy and easy check in. Good location and quiet place to be.

No frills, contemporary and clean

It was overall a good stay. Was disappointed that breakfast was not included in the price, as the listing said the hotel provided free breakfast. However, it was a nice, modern room and I did like the mountain view where you could see the northern lights if the conditions are right.

We were VERY late getting in due to weather, and even though no one was at the desk (late, remember?), the person on the other end of the line when I called was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The next morning the weather was no better and our destination was out of the question due to weather, but the staff again was exceptionally friendly and accommodating.

Keypad to open door difficulties. Ended up with a regular key. They were nice about the issue. With the window open its possible to reach inside and open door to room. I tried it. Safe country, yes, but I want my room secure while I'm sleeping. Odd texture to floor not pleasant to walk on without shoes. There is a thermostat, excellent blackout curtains, and pleasant views. Drive to town doable. But I hate to say it, even though they were helpful about the door, I wouldn't choose to stay there again. I just didn't like the lack of security due to the window's proximity to the door handle.

Fui con mi pareja a pasar una noche, pudimos ver auroras!!! La habitación estaba muy limpia y nueva. Lo unico malo que tiene, es que tienen calefacción de suelo y el aislamiento de puertas y ventanas no está bien sellado. En la cama no pasas frio ya que el nordico es excelente

No hassle and nice for a rest

No frills, but also, no hassle. Great for a night's stay while visiting the area. Bed comfy, curtains black, and shower hot. I especially liked how they sent me a message with the code for my room beforehand and there was no need for reception or a key. Just drive, arrive, and punch the code. You're in.
