Parking can be challenge. It’s on a gravel lot that you need to walk to from the hotel. Room is not huge but clean and upgraded. Breakfast is good, an excellent variety of selections. This was the first and last hotel we stayed in Iceland, we will definitely come back again!

Breakfast was great. Location was great if you have a car. Parking was extremely limited. Most of the time we had to park in front of other businesses on the roads nearby. We didn't get towed, but it did stress us out. Room was clean but very small.
