Cozy hotel with nice seating areas. In a picturesque area as well. Outdated like most Iceland hotels are but that’s what also gives it some charm. Affordable and breakfast was great.

Basic hotel in rural but beautiful location.our room had a big window viewing the pictorial Iceland landscape, where color changed at different hours. Room and bedding were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. Dinner was a bit pricy but reasonable in middle of nowhere.
