Great staff! Great Breakfasts! The property is very clean and conveniently located on the way to the airport. The area around looked industrial to me, but that was not bothering as it this was the last night before leaving Iceland.

Nice accommodations and excellent breakfast. The room was very clean and spacious. The area is quiet. Our recommendation is to extend the sauna hours. We were looking forward to enjoy the facilities but it closed at 6 on Sunday. It would be nice to have it available until 10-11 pm.
