The hotel is located perfectly for those attending the Laugevegur Ultramarathon and offers friendly service. The dining experience is tasty, but lacking hot options. The rooms, while small, served their purpose well for reorganizing belongings before departure.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms are small, with high humidity, but were very welcome for sorting out and repacking clothing on our almost last night in Iceland. The size was comparable to a bathroom, but served a comfortable purpose for a brief stay.

Service

The service was friendly and informative. The staff was quick to assist and even offered to fill our thermos with hot water.

Location

The hotel's location is perfect for those participating in the Laugevegur Ultramarathon, but could be perceived as expensive. It offers easy access to Landmannalaugar and is near extreme natural beauty.

Dining

7.0

The dining was tasty and made with love. While the range was great, the lack of hot food options aside from toast was a drawback.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel provides a welcoming atmosphere despite the small room size. Some areas could benefit from updates, but overall, the facilities are sufficient for a short stay.

7.0/10

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the room was smaller than anticipated and the bed was not the most comfortable, the staff were accommodating in allowing me to extend my stay. The location, though beautiful, was quite remote, making it a bit inconvenient for exploring nearby attractions. On the bright side, the service was friendly and efficient, and the dining options provided a good variety of choices.

Rooms
