“Convenient”
Convenient for a stopover in Hvollsvollur, just on the edge of town. Good restaurant. Good buffet breakfast. Very prompt laundry service, hand it in early evening and it will be ready at around 09:30am the following morning. They have hot tubs for customers use. Convenient free parking at the front of the property.

“Enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend.”
Breakfast was great! and liked that it was included. Very well stocked. Good selections. Also liked the location was close to the ferry and easy to find right off the highway. Was located in a very quiet neighborhood.
