Perfect stop for our last night before we flew home the next morning! Super clean, the shared kitchen was really nice to have access to. The room was nice and simple, but cozy, decorated tastefully and the view from our window was beautiful looking right at the lupines.

Nice location near the airport. Would be nice if the room has a big bedside table, or an extra table/shelf to put stuff on.

The hotel is nice, beautiful view, it is clean with big bathroom. But our car has been hit in the parking lot and the driver run, however the hotel does not have any CCTV around the parking lot and no help. :(

Such a fun modern lace to stay. The shower was heavenly and the soaps smelled fantastic. The cabin was surrounded by lupine and it was just beautiful. I loved every bit of our short stay.

Great clean property. Was able to get a taxi at 5AM right to the airport. Use the taxi service they suggest as it’s timely and a reasonable price. Was about $50 to get to the airport which isn’t bad considering others were quoting $100+

Amazing room and super clean. Smelled as fresh as could be upon entering. Comfortable beds and pillows. Just wish the hot tubs were up and running while we stayed there.

We stayed for 3 nights. Loved how the towels and bed sheets had a lovely clean scent. The location is very convenient to access the airport, but we didnt hear any planes. It was very quiet and seeing the horses through the window every morning was lovely. Definitely recommend this place, and hope we can stay here again next time we visit Iceland.

It was perfect for one night before an early flight the next day. Check in was easy, the room was clean and spacious after spending 2 weeks in a tent. The kitchen facilities were excellent with hob, microwave, kettle, dishwasher and pots and pans etc. Everything you needed to cook a meal. There was lots of leftover food and gas canisters in the cupboards for you to use and food in the fridge. There was a ridiculous amount of jars of coffee that had been started but not used up! Great place to end your holiday (and if you started it here you would save a fortune on gas and food if you are planning to camp!)
