Fantastic place to stay and convenient to driving around this part of the beautiful countryside.
Pros:

This was a great place to stay as a family of four. We stayed in one of the little cabins which was clean, pleasant, and with a fun loft! Breakfast food at the hotel was a great way to start the day.

Cons:

Nothing - it was great!

Hôtel super pour le folklore, pour le reste, à éviter.
Pros:

Le buffet petit déjeuner était complet. L'emplacement est sympa, avec vue sur la mer, pas loin du centre de Reykjavik en voiture.

Cons:

Le côté attrape-touriste, thématique Viking à toutes les sauces. Tables et chaises pas confortables au petit déjeuner.
Et surtout la taille rikiki des chambres, cher payé ! On a mesuré environ 9 m², compris la salle de bain ! Le lit (en fait 2 lits coincés ensemble par les draps, un des deux matelas plus bas que l'autre). Le lit coincé entre fenêtre et salle de bains, un couloir pour toute surface libre dans le reste de la chambre. Dans la salle de bains, douche trop étroite, mon compagnon a failli se cogner à la tablette en verre au dessus du lavabo en prenant sa douche. C'est le pire rapport qualité-prix que nous ayons rencontré lors de notre séjour. J'avais réservé par défaut, mon premier choix n'était pas disponible sur les 2 nuits.

Pros:

The hotel’s decoration and Viking village concept are great and create a unique atmosphere. The restaurant was also very good, with tasty food and a pleasant dining experience.

Cons:

The rooms are in need of renovation, as they feel outdated. Unfortunately, there was also a strong unpleasant smell coming from the canalization system in the room, which affected the overall stay.

Quirky decor, but pretty fun. Small rooms.
Pros:

Great food at the restaurant, but expensive, per Iceland pricing. Restaurant had lovely little nooks to sit in upstairs to enjoy a quiet drink. Breakfast was quite good. Nice sauna and hot tub in a natural setting.

Cons:

Room was very small with bed against the wall and bathroom was tight.
