No frills lodging option that was adequate on its own without unwelcoming staff. When we entered the reception area, we had a very cold and delayed check-in by staff who were more preoccupied with cleaning dishes than addressing their guests. It felt like we were a bother and verbal check-in instructions were unclear. The shower also had an all-in-one shampoo, conditioner and body wash. While satisfactory, this was not a standout.

This is an especially easy hotel and very nice and simple rooms. The area is stunning and close to the national park too. I can’t wait to go back!

This hotel is a little gem situated in a naturally beautiful part of Iceland. Walking distance from the hotel one finds themselves surrounded by the ocean, volcanic cliffs, birds, mountains and Waterfalls. Jump in the can and explore even more, and if you have a 4X4 take the F-Roads up toward the glacier and see the natural marvels this area offers. There is weather, so pack or wear protection against rain and wind — but this is Iceland, so you are proibably already equipped.

It was a nice room. We had a family room that had a king size bed and twin in one room and a twin bed in another room. Also had a small fridge, microwave, table and chairs, and small couch — best part was two bathrooms. The location was awesome, such beautiful shoreline and mountains. Only complaint is breakfast wasn’t included.

This was such a unique place to stay. The setting is incredible with a cliffside walk right outside. The room was quite small and no extra pillows or blankets, and it was really utilitarian but fine. The restaurant food was mediocre at best but I understand why it's so expensive because it's soooo rural. If you stay here keep in mind that there's not really anything around for over an hour. BUT, we saw a spectacular northern lights display around 8pm and it was absolutely one of the highlights of the trip so far. I'm not sure I'd drive that far out of the way to stay there again but it was memorable and unique so I'm glad we did.

We liked this hotel. It was very clean and comfy. Nice bed. We saw the aurora borealis just outside our room, that was amazing!
We didn't have the best experience with the breakfast. Eggs were gone and when we asked the lady about them she wasn't very nice about it.
Otherwise I believe they are a very good choice to stay around the area!

Very nice!
I recently stayed at this hotel and had a pleasant experience. The room was nice and had a good atmosphere. It was clean and modern, leaning more towards basic rather than chic. The location, though, was truly beautiful and perfect for witnessing the mesmerizing Aurora Borealis.
One thing to note is that the restaurant closes at 9 pm, so be sure to arrive before then or have some food with you, as there are no dining options nearby. Other than that, it's a great place for nature enthusiasts and Aurora chasers.
