The accommodations are definitely basic, but we were impressed with how clean and neat everything was. The staff was very kind and friendly. The breakfast was lovely, more than we expected from such a small place. The views from the property are just beautiful!

Simply great
Nice, modern, clean hotel. Supereasy check-in and check-out. Great views! Just 2 small issues: Breakfast is listed on the web from 7:30 but is served from 7:00. And the proper hotel breakfast must contain scrambled eggs!

Fantastic spot. First time in Southeastern Iceland, and I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. My eleven-year-old was more than impressed that the TV had Crunchyroll installed!
