Pros:

מיטות נוחות, מקלחת נקייה ומים חמים, חדר מואר, ארוחת בוקר מעולה, יש לשים לב שניתן להזמין ארוחת ערב.

Cons:

חדר טיפה צפוף, שומעים את הפעילות במסדרון, ואחרי שהלכנו לישון עדין היה פעיל.
לא ניתן לפתוח חלונות על מנת לאוורר את החדר, החדר פנה לכיוון מזרח ובבוקר היה חם מאוד.

A clean place to stay with updated amenities
Pros:

Close to Seljalandsfoss waterfall.

Hotel is surrounded by tons of wild flowers in summer. Great views all around.

Modern amenities.

You are expected to preorder your dinner during booking. However, the staff was kind enough to allow me to order dinner when I checked in.

Cons:

The hotel is a stand alone property with nothing around. You need to drive 2 kms from the main road to get to this property. Not that this is a concern but some guests might not prefer it.

Super located hotel that is clean and comfortable for visiting the Seljanlandsfoss and Thor's valley
Pros:

Loved the location - quite place by itself but close to the Seljalandsfoss waterfall and an ideal spot for visiting Prosmork - Thor's valley (highly recommended). The rooms were super comfortable. We were there in June so all round the hotel were fields and fields of those beautiful purple flowers (amazing photos). The staff were very nice and helpful. We ate both nights at the hotel - lamb and fish. As staff is not there all the time, they have a fridge with beer and wine (honour system).

Cons:

Nothing - was a relaxing well positioned locations for our trips in the area (waterfall, Porsmork (Thor's valley), black beaches, islands, etc.).
