Great location, across the street is Godafoss, and then you can be there in the early morning or evening and see it without many tourists. The hotel is nice, we were in the separate building; all clean, and spacious, not modern, but functional. The breakfast is excellent.

Super nice room. The bathroom was super small. The sink is probably of the same size as an airplane. We loved the little patio and walking distance to the waterfall. Breakfast was super nice, especially the coffee machine. You pay $3000 isk plus 7.5% service fee ($25 usd) for breakfast per person.

Amazing property, staff, and food facing the Godafoss waterfall. Couldn’t ask for a better location. You can have the falls all to yourself early morning or late evening.

Great service, especially the hotel manager, she was fantastic! At nightime, during the midnight sun, when all the tour buses and travelers are gone,you have the whole waterfall to yourself. It is was my favorite waterfall in Iceland. The food is good, the beds are clean, spend at least two nights there to truely enjoy the area.

We were in the yellow side building. Our room was very small. The bathroom was tiny and had the smallest sink I have ever seen in my life- slightly larger than my hand- hard to wash your face. Hotel is right across from Godafoss waterfall- not in the town area of Laugar. Paid extra for breakfast and it was very nice- even had a choose your own espresso machine. Dated decor. Shower very slippery but so small chances are good you won’t fall.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel—everything was perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was truly outstanding. Every member of the staff was kind and helpful, but I especially want to thank Francisco for going above and beyond. His warmth, attentiveness, and care made our experience even more special. Thank you for making us feel so well taken care of!

Everything was good expect that they didn’t have a microwave. It sort of forces people to eat from thier restaurant. There is a Icd wear store next to the hotel where you can get hotdogs though.
