L’ hôtel est bien situé agréable pour voir aurores boréales, petit déjeuner parfait’ les chambres sont un peu vieillottes et bruyantes.

The property location was beautiful and remote. The rooms were lovely, clean and nicely furnished. The bathroom was nice too but the shower curtain was a little moldy

Einfache, gepflegte Unterkunft. Nicht sehr modern aber in Ordnung. Liebevoll gemachte Schlüsselanhänger. Für die reine Übernachtung ausreichend und mehr wollten wir nicht daher total ok. Aufgrund sehr hoher Preise des Restaurants haben wir dort nicht gegessen und Vorräte mitgenommen. Es gibt einen kühlschrank und einen wasserkocher. In der Umgebung ausschließlich Natur, man sollte seine Einkäufe daher planen. Restaurant kann ich nicht bewerten da wir es weder zum frühstücken noch zum Abendessen genutzt haben. Tolle Aussicht auf den Vulkan Hekla.

Hotel se situant au sud du Cercle d'Or, idéal point de chute pour combiner le Cercle d'Or et la cote sud en deux jours. Parfaitement isolé, idéal pour voir des aurores boréales, si vous avez de la chance d'y séjourner au bon moment. Etablissement qui mériterait peut être un petit rafraichissement, mais c'est propre et fonctionnel, c'est ce que nous recherchions. Petit déjeuner copieux et avec beaucoup de choix. La personne à la réception a été très avenante lors de notre départ, en nous avertissant de fortes rafales de vents sur la cote Sud,.. petite attention très appréciée si vous rencontrez une tempête de vent comme celle que nous avons vécue.

Island zum Kennenlernen
Sehr gute Lage im Süden von Island. Wir hatten 2 Familiensuites. Die Zimmer und Badezimmer waren sehr gross. Bequemes Bett. Wasserkocher mit Tee und Kaffee, kleiner Kühlschrank im Zimmer. Badezimmer mit Dusche und Fön. Leider ohne Schminkspiegel. Frühstücksbuffet mit Salzigem und Süssem (auch Waffeln zum selber machen :-)). Selber gemachter Hauskuchen und Brot. Feine Butter. Abendessen à la carte ziemlich teuer und kleine Auswahl.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
paid for 2 nights, left after 1. Do not recommend
This hotel is in a beautiful location along the Golden Circle and close to the bigger town of Selfoss. The hotel itself is in desperate need of renovation and repair. Our room was tiny, with extremely old furniture, no bathroom space to even brush your teeth and a weird shower combination that left the entire bathroom floor wet. Just touching the greasy remote for the television was disgusting. We booked and paid for two nights and we were so unhappy that we left after the first night, losing our second night's payment. For the money, this hotel is well below the standards of any hotel we stayed in Iceland. The pictures on the website depict modern rooms with nice furniture, which was obviously nothing like our room. The breakfast was fine. The staff were not necessarily rude, but were definitely not friendly.
