Great stay, clean facilities and friendly staff, especially Maximiliano from Front Desk.
We arrived right when the kitchen was closing and the team stayed and prepared a fantastic meal for us.

The property is an out-of-season boarding school/dormitory. We stayed in a 3-person family style room. Breakfast is very expensive. Staff is friendly and helpful.
We had a double story room that was very spacious. It is a school in the winter and a hotel in the summer so it is very well equipped and spacious. Our room was clean and roomy and the hotel itself was immaculate. It’s in a great location with lots to do nearby. Staff greeted us upon arrival and when screeching out and were very friendly.
A hotel located in the north of Egilsstadir. The facilities are relatively old and the service is quite satisfactory.

The hotel felt and looked like an old school dormitory. There was definitely a shortage of outlets in the room (I found only one) and the decor and furnishings were 80's college dorm room.
We arrived at the property late but check-in was easy. The room and beds were good but the bathroom and especially the shower were very small and the water smelled of sulphur. Overall was OK.
Accommodations are dorm-like. Spartan but clean. Friendly staff. The views from the room are incredible. Kids loved the stairs and second story in each room. There is also a play area in the lobby for kids.

Strange hotel, which looks like it also can serve as student accommodation during off peak times. Room was fairly basic - no tv. Car park is down the street. Staff were friendly. Breakfast provided was good
Rooms are outdated, no TV in room. The view is spectacular overlooking the countryside! Ask for more pillows but overall convenient to town and restaurants.
