-The room was spacious and nice. The bathroom was small.
-Restaurant downstairs was amazing. We tried their lamb and it was really good. The chef is great.
-The best part of out stay was their restaurant.
Great location and ways to find. Friendly staff. Restaurant stays open later so was able to get dinner. Room was exactly as described and perfect for 1 person.
Every thing was great although the Hvammstangi address was confusing for non-Icelandic folk. The room itself could have had some more light so we could see a bit better
The hotel has a restaurant and an common area with hot water boiler and a refrigerator upstairs where the guestrooms located. This is very convenient, especially for a group of travelers like us.
This was a great stay for the one night we needed before heading back to Reykjavik! Very convenient as it is right off the 1 HWY, loved that there was a communal fridge upstairs for the guests and the restaurant downstairs was excellent! The bathroom smelled moldy when the water ran...other than that the room was great!

A basic, small room. Friendly staff. The restaurant was really busy but as residents at the hotel we were looked after well.
There’s no getting away from the fact this is an isolated spot, but we knew that when we booked. The in-house restaurant has a great choice of dishes and our food was lovely. Nice communal lounge for guests to use. Great choice for those travelling the ring road
This is a hard review to leave. The staff was fantastic. The restaurant was also fantastic. The rooms were yuck! Our room smelled so bad we had to sleep with windows open in the cold. The rooms are just in horrible shape. The worst of all our stays in Iceland. But for sure stop for dinner!
My husband and I stayed at this place for our first night traveling around the ring road. The employees were super nice and very helpful. Would stay here again. The bbq burger was delicious!
