The staff greeted us quickly and gave us a tour of the place at check in. The room was clean and perfect for our needs. The catfish at dinner was cooked perfect. The breakfast was excellent and we never ran out of the essentials. We saw the Northern Lights over the hotel that evening. I'd stay here again for sure. Thank you for you hospitality!

Not a lot of choices in this area and it appeared to be in the middle of no where so we were happy to see a place to rest at the end of the day. The facility is definitely older, the glass in our window was cracked, and the room only had a portable heater. Saying that it was manageable for one night, the food was okay, and the staff was friendly.

Stayed one night here in July 2025. Had dinner in the restaurant. Menu is not long but food tastes good. Room is clean. Breakfast buffet choice is bit limited compared to other hotels’ in Iceland.

Do not recommend for that price and condition

Pros: beautiful surroundings, close to canyon, friendly staff, good food, comfy beds Cons: room was like a prefab shelter in poor condition, toilet leaking, insufficient heating, price was like a 4* in Tokyo or NY. I get it that we’re paying for the location and not for quality or comfort, but this felt like a bit too overpriced. It was the worst stay we had in Iceland, and in the top 3 of the priciest I ever paid.

One of the best family run hotels ever. The owner was so friendly and helpful. We are vegetarian and he went out of his way to prepare delicious food. Also hot up early just to prepare coffee and breakfast since we had to leave very early. Amazing service

Very nice and would come again. Staff really nice

Had a really nice dinner. Breakfast was a bit boring. Cold pancakes and the cheese was a bit plastic. Eggs so over cooked they were black inside. And the usual really really bad coffee that all hotels in Iceland seems to serve. Really a shame.

Great place, perfect location for our plans. The breakfast was great and the hotel restaurant was great as well. No other food choices nearby. We planned to hike Studlagil canyon early, and this hotel allowed us to do that. We ate at the hotel at 7:30, were at the Canyon by 8AM and we had the hike in and about 30 minutes while we were the only ones there except one other couple who left as we arrived. On the hike out we passed hundreds of people on their way in. We had enough time left in the day to visit the Puffin colony in Borgurfjorder eysrti, visit Seydisurfjorder, and drive to Fáskrúðsfjörður
