This was a nice hotel with an excellent restaurant for dinner and the best continental breakfast of our whole trip. We only stayed one night and did not use the spa, which you have to pay extra for, but it is there for those who wish to do so. Close to town and great views of the lake. Seems like they are working to landscape the property as well.

This is possibly the best hotel in Iceland. Staff were very friendly, the room was lovely, and the food was out of this world. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Pleasurable experience and stay The hotel had an updated rustic appearance inside and out. A Nordic touch that was well presented made it personable and functional. Rooms were clean, service was well in line with expectations, and noise level was as quiet as could be. Although the first steps out of the vehicle presented us with a slight bit of a dairy farm smell, the oder did not affect the core of the hotel. Yes there are cows several yards away. The town is walking distance from the hotel and has a grocery store, hardware store, and restaurants. We made the mistake of visiting the town to eat when we should have ate at the restaurant at the hotel.
