Dated property. We stayed in a family quadruple room which was spacious but very dated. Stained curtains and lots of dead bugs. Bathroom is quite small. The pool and hot tubs next to the property were nice and there are plenty of games rooms at the hotel room. The food at the restaurant was not good at all - braised lamb was so tough that it was hard to cut with a knife. The staff is helpful and accommodating. We stayed here due to the location on our trip around Iceland but wouldn't stay here again.

Best hotel ever

Last minute booking. Once I arrived, I didn’t want to leave. The staff were amazing!!! The hotel was so comfortable and I felt at home. The staff even helped me out with some hot water and a spoon so I can eat something before bed time. Love this place.

Would be really nice if it was a bit cleaner

The building is a renovated old school, where the front half is clean and new, and back half is a dilapidated dormitory. The pool was nice and the historica hot spring was neat (pictured). The restaurant was also nice. My room however was not clean, and filled with many files, which bit me when i tried to sleep. There were also a lot of drunk young men wandering the halls shouting at me, which was unnerving. It felt like a college dorm. The shared showers were not cleaned. To the hotels credit, the staff did send a janitor to get the flies.
