“Nice place representing good cost-to-value ratio.”
The hotel was just ideal, especially that this was the place where we first saw northern lights - great location for this, far from light pollution.

“good”
The breakfast was excellent, very well prepared and with a great variety of options. The room was spacious, comfortable, and the overall accommodations were good, offering everything we needed for a pleasant stay. However, our experience was negatively affected by the staff, who were not very helpful or attentive, and by the cleanliness of the property, which did not meet our expectations. With better cleaning standards and improved staff service, this place could offer a much better overall experience.

“Tranquil”
It offered a safe space for us to stay during the storm that hit Iceland. The hotel is tranquil and an excellent spot to see the aurora (if the weather isn't bad!). The breakfast is very good. The location is just next to Seljalandfoss, so please do pay a visit.
