Was easy to find, big car park. Very welcoming staff. Could use the gym free if we had wanted to. Good sized triple room with sofa and table. Big bathroom with walk-in shower. Very comfortable beds. Breakfast included. I left my kindle behind & messaged the hotel & they found it the next day & messaged me to tell me they had it, so we picked it up a couple of days later when we were back in the area.

Breakfast choice was quite limited for my daughter who is very gluten intolerant, no GF bread available, nothing was ingredient labelled, so she dare not even risk the yoghurt.

Very easy to find (It has a brightly lit sign a top the building that was visible from quite some distance away), this hotel was excellent for our stopover too Iceland. We arrived early but for a small fee the staff were able to put our room together which was greatly appreciated as the wife and I were exhausted. The room had a massive expanse of windows which was great as we were on the top floor so could see for some distance. The Breakfast was a buffet style with a reasonable choice of continental options. As we were checking out early they provided us with breakfast bags to go which I thought was a nice touch. The room was clean and well presented, the shower had a choice of regular or raindrop style shower heads and the bed was very comfy. Though not immediately obvious there was a sports bar at the back of the hotel which was most welcome for some evening bar food.

As with most dining experiences in Iceland , purchasing food is a little dearer than we were used too, and the sports bar menu is relatively limited. There also didn't appear to be a cooked breakfast option (such as eggs and bacon) apart from a waffle iron (which I'm not a great fan of), though there were traditionally Icelandic breakfast foods (the blueberry Skyr was very nice).

Location between airport and Reykjavik and close to start Golden Circle. Easy access when flying in late with quick access off highway. Quiet rooms. Comfortable bed. Clean!! Breakfast included - love the waffle machine. Hot coffee (surprisingly, a lot of hotels only have warm coffee). Was nice to have access to gym and hot tub next door but didn’t have time to use them. Nice and friendly staff!!

Room was pretty tight. No hangers. Bathroom floor (wet room type shower) was !!super!! slippery. Nearly fell. No night stand or lamp on one side. No tissues or washcloths (I think it is an Icelandic and Norwegian thing, not just this hotel).

We had a rental car and stayed here at the end of our trip for two nights to unwind and for a location close to both Reykjavik for last minute shopping and the airport. The room was spacious and very clean. It was also quiet. The included breakfast was quite good and there is a bar with a simple food and drink menu. We loved exploring the town the hotel is located in. We especially enjoyed the Viking village restaurant nearby as well as a vegan restaurant and a local ice cream place. The gym next door, which is included, is very large with a sauna and outdoor hot tub.

Everything was good!

We chose this location to be near the airport and it worked great. They have a large parking lot right in front of hotel. We had a nice, comfortable, spacious and very clean room. The bathroom was large with great hot water and good water pressure. I needed an extra pillow and the front desk employee gladly retrieved an extra one when my husband went to ask for one. Their dining room is spacious and well organized. They had a delicious breakfast and we enjoyed our stay. We would stay there again.

Needed extra pillows in the rooms.

The whole hotel was very clean, the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The gentleman behind the desk, went out his way to help us get to our motorhome rental, also saved us some money doing so he also suggested places where I could eat or get food as I have intolerances. In the morning our driver was running late so the lady on reception rang them for us, nothing was too much. Id definitely recommend.

The beds were very soft. So didn't sleep to well. But I understand that everyone has different bed preferences.

It was a good value for a last minute booking when our plans changed due to weather, the breakfast was very good. The room overlooked an industrial roof, and was quite large for the price. The beds were comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We stayed there after the blue lagoon and before driving another day, so it met our needs and we were happy to have found it. We liked the artwork too.

There is not a lot around the hotel for a,entities. The only late night food (after 10pm) was dominoes pizza. We were quite hungry but that was a challenge.

Location is perfect if you will be doing a lot of exploring outside of Reykjavik. It’s close to the city but far enough out you can avoid traffic. Parking is plentiful, easy, and free. Rooms were clean and quiet. Hotel is overall good quality.

The food from their built in restaurant is pretty “meh”. I would avoid eating dinner there unless you don’t have any other options as it is expensive and not very good. The continental breakfast is decent though and worth getting.

Great location as long as you have a car, although there is the local bus into Reykjavik. Great convenient location after landing in Keflavik. Free parking right outside. Very easy location to explore the Reykjanes Peninsula, Golden Circle, Reykjavik etc. Staff were friendly, breakfast was nice and had quite a good selection. The sports bar staff were also extremely friendly and welcoming. It was full of locals watching football and was a nice atmosphere. Food was good. The quadruple room was spacious enough for 4 and had everything you would need. Very comfortable beds. Staff were able to accommodate a room facing the new erupting volcano (although it had stopped by the time we arrived 🤣). Bonus supermarket is a short walk away and has a little cafe. Good if you are tight on time or budget.

The kettle could be larger in the quadruple room.
