Good
Pros:

Simple basic rooms. The breakfast was limited. We booked this hotel because it's close to Studlagil canyon.
In the evening we had lamb for dinner, it was good and tasty although expensive!

Justo
Pros:

La ubicacion, que incluya desayuno.

Cons:

La habitacion muy poco acogedora, cuatro cosas basicas sin personalidad. La parte del comedor tiene algo mas de encanto. Calidad precio pesima como en toda Islandia, jamas pagaras tanto por tan poco.
