The hotel is nestled in the picturesque rolling hills near Fjadrarglijufur, offering a serene ambiance. The rooms are cozy, but the bathroom is quite tiny. The service is impeccable, although tours and ticket assistance could be more extensive. The location is ideal for nature enthusiasts, but being on the ring road may not appeal to everyone. The dining experience is satisfactory, although more options would be appreciated. The facilities are basic but functional.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, surrounded by beautiful nature and close to great outdoor activities. The rooms were cozy, but the bathroom was incredibly tiny. The service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. The dining options were limited, but the included meals were tasty. The facilities were well-maintained, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
