The hotel is closed to a farm with many horses running and playing in the field. The hotel is clean and the room is bright. The room has a private washroom. The hotel provides free breakfast and dinner is available. Parking is easy. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Will stay there again.

The staff were excellent and very helpful! Check-in was smooth and they suggested dinner at their in-house hotel since we checked in the evening. Dinner took us by surprise, very good! Both the pricing and portion sizes are great, which is hard to find in Iceland. Breakfast is plenty with hot and cold options, lots of selection and buffet style. Free parking is also available. Lots of cool amenities that we unfortunately couldn't use due to time but they have hot tubs, horseback riding (extra), and much more!
