A good place for 1 night stay
Pros:

Easy check-in, clean, friendly reception. It did feel like a university dorm room given the twin beds were on the opposite side of the room. A good place to stay for one night.

Not value for money
Pros:

Not a lot

Cons:

When I travel in Iceland I expect to meet Icelanders. There were none in this hotel and nobody spoke Icelandic. The hotel is in poor maintenance and over priced.

Great location
Pros:

Exactly as expected a great base for a couple of nights to explore east Iceland. Rooms were basic but clean and had everything we needed. The restaurant on site was good for dinner.
