Very old and out dated property. Water from shower and bath sink smelled bad. The only aspect that could revert the negative was Ira, the front desk attendant, who went above and beyond! Infrarred Sauna and lounge furniture around is disgusting. Property must be remodelled and be up to the standards of surrounding hotels.

Great hotel! Was right down the road from shops and dining. Beautiful view and adorable decor. Staff was super kind and helpful and breakfast had many options. The rooms did get quite stuffy/ warm and there were no fans/ air. We opened the window, which helped, however the nice weather outside (yay) made the inside quite warm. Overall, would stay again!

It’s okay hotel but looking at the price (Iceland is generally costly anyway), I would hesitate to stay here again as the bathroom wash basin sink was smelly; there was no restaurant in site for the dinner available; was told that the restaurant opens for the dinner only for a travel group and if there is none, then the restaurant is closed which makes inconvenient for the family as this hotel is away from the main city centre area; fine if you have your own car. Breakfast is okay but very limited hot breakfast.

We had a great stay in this family run hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and varied and we also enjoyed a simple 3 course dinner which we enjoyed. We had a soak in the outdoor hot tub which was a bonus

Do not stay here . Very noisy .

The hotel and room seems older but we were fine with that . There was a strange smell like candles being burnt to cover a bad smell. Our issue is they put us in a room below the ground floor next to the hot tub . We did not sleep that night . It was noise from the minute we got to bed until we just got up had breakfast and checked out. There was footsteps and furniture dragging above us plus constant talking in the hallway outside our room . Also loud noises of water like a giant toilet being flushed . I think this may be related to the hot tub . The front desk clerk did not seem concerned or offer to rectify .

The hotel was great. Quiet. The Sauna was good. The hottubs were fine, but no jets. Breakfast was hearty and fresh. Location is fine but not really in walking distance of dining options. That being said, it was a quick drive to the center of the city with some great dining options.

Pulling up to the hotel, we noticed the place looked dated and the grounds were messy. The check in area smelled of an antique store and the whole facility was dated. We got to the room and the first thing we noticed was the smell, it smelled of mold. Around the windows was dirty and moldy. The ceiling was discolored. The blanket had a stain on it. The carpets were gross.

The hotel caters for large coach parties. We couldn’t find a breakfast table so we had to come back later. Our room was small & looked out onto waste land. The hotel is a long way out of town, beside the airport. However, the price was affordable & a decent breakfast was included.
