Small shower with slow draining water. Had a great breakfast with variety options. Blinds are blackout but didn’t fully keep the lights out so recommend an eye mask.

Simple clean rooms with private baths only ~20-30 mins to Myvatn sites or Husavik (in other direction). The staff were friendly and helpful providing good suggestions for area hikes. The buffet breakfast was hearty with great variety - plus it was included in the price.

The hotel is a summer hotel, and looks like it is used for dormitory purposes. The rooms are very basic, but are serviceable. We found the beds quite uncomfortable, with extremely thin pillows. The curtains did not block out the light of the long daylight hours, so the room was quite bright when trying to sleep. There was a frequent banging sound that vibrated through the building. We think it was the main door, which was banging shut, as people entered and left the building. It made getting enough sleep quite challenging, as the noise and vibrations were occurring until quite late, and started again fairly early in the morning. The breakfast was good, with some hot options, as well as the usual continental breakfast offerings. The staff were very helpful and pleasant.

Was happy with my stay. No frills accomodation. The room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was included. The only issue was there were no blackout curtains, which was a problem cause it doesn't get dark at night in July.

This was a nice, clean property. During the school year, the room we were in is a dorm room. It was equipped with everything you would expect in a hotel. We had three beds in our room. Two were pulled together to make a "king" size bed, but it is a "king" with a gap down the center. The breakfast was good and included some hot stuff like eggs/bacon/sausage/cereal/yogurts/toast. There is a public pool next door that is associated with this property that you can get a discount to. The only complaint is that it is a fairly large property so there was a tour bus there and breakfast was a bit of a zoo.

Too many flies

The reception area and staff were great. The room was not that great I'm comparison. There were so many big flies in the room that kept us awake, although we swatted two of them. The bathroom had a light fixture that was broken plus it was noisy with a sound that we could not identify. The curtains were too short which kept the light coming in. The building which we stayed felt very dated and a little spooky.

Das ist kein Hotel, wie man es eigentlich erwartet. Es ist außerhalb des Sommers ein Internat. Dementsprechend ist die Zimmerausstattung und Atmosphäre. Einfach furchtbar. Und das für den Preis. Frühstück war aber gut.
