Great views, beds were comfortable, sauna was relaxing after a long hike, and the front desk staff were extremely helpful and even expedited our check in as we arrived a little early.

The room was clean and comfortable with all that we needed. The breakfast had a good variety and was kept filled at all times.

Doug, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay here!! Hotelrooms are mini but staff is super nice. The hospitality of the Polish staff is beyond anything we have had. Food is delicious too. And we could use the sauna till around 22h.
mieke, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful area and comfortable rooms. Food was excellent also
Mary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms are good with private bathroom. We could also enjoy the sauna (shower in the sauna was not optimal as it was flooding the floor). Had a nice dinner with very good portion.
Marnie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Even though the property is located in quite a remote area, it’s very well maintained and offers great value for the price. The cleanliness and upkeep really stood out. I was especially pleased to find that the breakfast included a good variety of vegetarian and vegan options. A great choice if you don’t mind a quieter, off-the-beaten-path location and valley of tears and other breathtaking locations are also close to this spot. The only caveat is you need to let the hotel know about the late checkin and sometimes they dont pick up phone being short staffed.

Good for our trip into the highlands of Iceland

This hotel was convenient for our trip to Landmannalauger. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. Good breakfast and helpful staff. Rooms are very small.
patricia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is really far from normal tourists spots but we wanted to hike a mountain near by so I selected this location. I really enjoyed our time here and the view was pristine and untouched land. The rooms have big windows so you have a great view.
Toloue, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice and comfortable 5***** Hotel with very nice rooms, comfortable beds and very nice bathrooms. Everything was very clean. Nice Sauna and hot pool! This was our most expensive Hotel, we booked on our 12 days Island trip, but it was worth every single cent!
Christian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A clean and honest hotel close to landmanalaugar, which has no other accommodation options so close (except for camping and a sleeping bag hut in the mountains).
Andre, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice, warm, cosy and modern room at a very good price. Super breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Good location for access to local area. We were actually the only people staying in the whole place that night due to weather.
John, 1-night trip

Restaurant was little expensive
Pavithra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is one of very few that give you reasonable access to the Highlands. The budget rooms are small, but you get what you pay for staff is friendly and helpful. Food in the restaurant was good and sometimes great particularly the lamb. Definitely on the revisit list
Reynald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location near the F roads, also felt very local. Make sure to take your shoes off inside!
Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location just before F208 to Landmannalaugar. Clean and modern room. Great cafe and restaurant. Very friendly personel in the reception and restaurant. Got some good tips for sights on the way back from Landmannalaugar on F225. I would definitely come back.
Per, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great service and great food. The water heater runs out of hot water quickly so don’t take too long in the shower. Sauna was an amazing plus and the staff are very attentive and considerate.
Malik, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good enough

Very little room for 2 but ok for the place and food
jacques, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location. Did not like that there were limitations on hot water i. Showers and bathrooms were basically a shower. Had to wipe floor after a very short 5 minute shower.
Denise, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

For those who should stay inland, there is no other option. Otherwise, I would recommend to find a place near ring road. The room 3 of us stayed was so small and the room charge was very expensive.
Ji Soo, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Bad room next to the employee stuff, on top of that super noisy and super expansive
thibault, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Cons: - Rooms have zero sound proofing. - Rooms and service feel like a basic hostel yet you are paying 4 star prices. Also no kitchen. Plus they dont provide a kettle in any of the rooms. - Reception is often empty. We only stayed here as we could not find any other hotel within an hour to landmannalaugar. They seem to know this, hence the extreme pricing.
