The hotel was designed to be almost be part of the nature surrounding it. Unassuming outside but welcoming inside. The sauna offered fabulous views if Iceland weather allows you to experience it. The breakfast was magnificent, offering a variety of options including homemade bread.

The room: not well laid out, not enough space to even to lay out your clothes. A room for 2 people, they give you 2 coffee pods each day. The door of hotel rooms: you really have to pull to make sure it closes when you leave room. Breakfast is very nice, variety of fruits, eggs, bread selections. Plenty of parking space.

The hotel was the perfect stay for us during our trip along the Ring Road. Our room was very clean and comfortable. There's not much in the area, so we dined at the on-site restaurant. I would warn that the dinner can be quite expensive for the meal portion you receive (compared to some of the other hotel dinners that we had during the rest of our 12-day Ring Road adventure). The morning breakfast buffet was really good though, so don't skip out on that for a fresh start to the day!
