Nice
Pros:

The bed was very comfortable and everything was spotless. The room has a mini fridge, and the breakfast was excellent and very complete. Easy check-in, friendly staff and a very convenient place to stay along the route. Definitely a great option for a stopover.

Great
Pros:

The room has a fresh, modern renovation. Although it is close to the road, the soundproofing is excellent.

Cons:

The controls for the room's heating are tucked away underneath the bathroom sink—whose idea was that?

Location was good, just a simple place to stay along the Ring Road. Everything was easy access, clean, comfortable, breakfast was good as well. Rooms were very spacious. Recommend as a good place to stay.

Fajny, przytulny hotel z polską obsługą
Pros:

Pobyt w hotelu podczas olbrzymiego obłożenia hoteli na Islandii z uwagi na zaćmienie słońca. W hotelu jedliśmy dobre śniadania, obsługa była bardzo pomocna (pozdrowienia dla ekipy z Polski), a pokoj miał wszystko co potrzebne. WiFi działało bardzo dobrze. Przed hotelem duży parking, blisko stacja i sklep.

Cons:

Jedynie cena bardzo wysoka jak na taki standard, ale jednak to Islandia i totalny szczyt sezonu.
