Nice location to watch the northern lights. Rooms are mostly 2 single beds, not many with king beds. Pseudo craters were just across the road and very convenient. Gas station on site. Do note that there’s a horse stable just behind the hotel, and with it comes quite a bit of flies. Flies were in the room as well that were all crowding at the window. Had to use a tissue to squish them all. Good thing they were not buzzing throughout the room and only remained at the window location. Heated floors in the bathroom made a huge difference during the cold nights. Really appreciated the wake up call for northern lights that let me spot the northern lights for the first time. After an hour of enjoying the lights, there was hot chocolate that we could get FOC from the lobby. We loved this place (albeit the flies)

Room was very large and had 2 sinks and 2 toilets! Also a couch which was a nice touch. Carpet could use updating, but the restaurant was very nice for dinner and a nice included breakfast! Would stay again. Nice location.

The room was big and spacious but shower water wasn't drainning well. The whole tile floor of shower to sink area got wet after taking one quick shower. Small store and gas station by the hotel was very convenient. Breakfast was great also.

We were greeted with nice staff and offering free coffee. This place was near the Nature baths and really cool volcanic scenery. Nice surprise for our accommodations to have a room to sleep in and then a separate room for lounging and luggage to go in. The dinner options were few but great. We ate a local farm that was upscale, but very un-assuming. The food was awesome. We were only there for one night, but we would definitely go back since there was a lot of different things that we didn't get to explore in the area.

The customer service was exceptional and our meal at the restaurant was the absolute best that we had in Iceland (& this is saying a lot as we ate at some very nice places). The hotel is older but charming and our room was comfortable and clean. It is located right across the street from the visitor center and next to a great walking trail that goes on for miles. The absolute best part was the staff 7 & the food!!! I hope to come back and will definitely recommend this hotel to family & friends who are planning to visit.
