We had a really great experience here and the best mattresses we've found by far. This is the 5th night in Iceland for us and the previous 4 hotels the mattresses were not good at all. This hotel was lovely in every respect. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast they offered was probably the nicest one I've ever had - anywhere. Good water, good tv, good location, nice hotel :-)

Old building. Small rooms which are definetely not soundproof. Curtains that do not darken the room in summer. Furnishing a bit old fashioned and not much space for luggage. Very kind and very helpful staff.

Did not realise that the bar attached to the property was also a night club, it was a little too loud for our tastes. But the staff were very friendly, the breakfast was delicious and the rooms were very clean.
