Great accomodation, nice amenities like hot tub and sauna. Location right near a beautiful viewpoint on the lake. Restaurant and breakfast were fantastic and staff was very friendly.
Best location for Northern area exploration; very friendly staff; good on-site restaurant; knows extremely well what tourists need in the area; aurora wake-up service etc. building & equipments a little outdated, but no complaints, they’re fully reflected in price.
This propery is right on the lake and across the street from the pseodocraters. Su h a nice walk even in the brisk air. The restaurant in the hotels serves a delicious dinner and dessert. There breakfast spread was enormous and the food was delicious.

Receptionists are very friendly. We arrived early before the allowed check in time however, they accommodated our request.
Room was very spacious.
It was warm however during the course of the night it really got so warm.
Overall it was great!
One thing, the dinner buffet was pricey for the selection of food.just saying!!!

The hotel and the staff were fabulous! They woke us up (as requested) to see the Northern Lights. Dinner in the dining room was the best we had in Iceland.

Place was very nice, staff was excellent. They called us out to see the northern lights, because very unusual given the time of year in early September. Enjoy playing darts, watching sports on TV in addition to see if anything phenomenon.

This is the best hotel we stayed in iceland. From our window, we can see the lake. Hotel is clean and has great food. All the staff are very nice and helpful. We also did the laundry service at hotel and drop clothes off at night and it’s ready to go in the morning. Highly recommended .

We got to the area at 1pm and was able to check in early. Had triple room booked and got a very large room! The front desk staff (a young guy) was very friendly. Breakfast was very good with lots of choices. Great location to see midnight sunset.

We stayed 7 nights in Iceland in 7 hotels, this was the best out of all of them, also one of the most affordable ones, much more expensive ones could not compare to this. Very nice room, spacious and clean, very well insulated. All the staff, ALL OF THEM, were so very polite and helpful, congrats to whoever is running the place. 10 out of 10

Thank you for your review. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and our beer.Hopefully we see you again some day :)
Great hotel close to day trips we wanted to do and along the ring road we were traveling.
80's style interior. Kept up well. Our room was very large and comfortable but poor view. Others are smaller with better views.
