We stayed as a family of four (kids 5 & 10) and loved every moment. The location is unbeatable — right next to Skógafoss waterfall, visible from our room! Comfortable, clean, and family‑friendly. Breakfast was fresh, delicious, and had great variety. Perfect base for exploring the Golden Circle and South Coast. Highly recommend!

I gave this just “okay” because even though it is a lovely hotel with great staff and service, for $500 plus at night I think it should have a hot tub. Just saying.

Small room. Staff were not present when checking in and pretty indifferent once they checked us in. The property isn't new and seems a little outdated. The room was clean. Breakfast was not good in comparison to other locations where we stayed traveling the Ring Road. The attraction here is the Skogafoss waterfall which you can see out the windows facing it. it is definitely convenient if staying here to climb/hike around this area.
