This was a solid 3-4 stars , not as nice as some of the others we stayed in but had everything we needed. It wasnā€™t as clean in the common areas but room was clean

Accommodations are dorm-like. Spartan but clean. Friendly staff. The views from the room are incredible. Kids loved the stairs and second story in each room. There is also a play area in the lobby for kids.

Bare Bones, Unfriendly Check In
As others have stated this is a school dorm used as a ā€œhotelā€ in the summer. Good concept, but have low expectations so as not to be disappointed. Literally, 2 beds, 2 beside tables, a desk and tiny bathroom. If youā€™re planning on sleeping and leaving first thing it will meet your needs. I wouldnā€™t spend any more time there. The check-in clerk was unfriendly and uninterested. He clearly wanted to be anywhere but at the front desk. Not a great first impression.

Awkward old dorm, expensive for what it is
I found this hotel to be very awkward. From parking far away from reception, to not being able to find our room on the "second floor" (because we went to the second floor, all the way to the end of the hallway, and then had to go up another half a flight of stairs, so it was like it was on the 2.5 floor). It was a converted dorm and felt very much like it. No TV in the room, but there was a common area on the floor. As we had a room for three people, there was a loft area with single beds and a very small winding staircase that blocked the foot of the bed. The room was cramped in part because of the staircase, and the loft situation wasn't ideal for us with a small child. Small bathroom, very few plugs, and the worst sin of all in summer in Iceland.... the curtains did not darken the room at all. So basically it was light in the room all night... also not ideal for traveling with a small child. It was pretty pricey for what it was, but I suppose that's the norm in Iceland.

Clean spacious room, good breakfast & service
We booked a triple room for 2 adults, 1 child. There was plenty of space upstairs, however the stairs are too narrow to take any luggage. There is no TV or kettle or coffee maker in the room. Breakfast has plenty of options, as well as a great espresso/hot chocolate machine. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Clean and ok to just get some sleep
The hotel is absolutely fine but was overpriced hence the review is lower than what it would be if i had paid say 30% less. We found that during peak summer booking last minute would have been much cheaper in hindsight. Advance booking was counterintuitively very expensive. The hotel is not walking distance to "town center" but is otherwise ok. Does the job i.e. clean and you can get some sleep.

The hotel is old but for the area itā€™s pretty good, definitely more than the 2 stars it has. We got a two floor apartment and the kids loved their separate second floor. The breakfast was delicious!

Nice outlook and breakfast
We stayed here one night. The breakfast was probably the best we had during our trip with plenty of variety. The hotel is a little way down a street but had a good view over the lake. The curtains did not quite blackout the room but we had no trouble sleeping anyway. Staff nice and helpful. Overall a very pleasant stay

Clean & Spacious Hotel
The staffs were really friendly and helpful. the neighborhood was quiet with free parking! Breakfast spread was good! Room was spacious and clean and had an interesting concept - mine was double floored! However, wifi for the the second floor was weaker but it didn't really matter as we were all tired out after a long drive!
