Spent two nights at this property. We showed up late in the night, but they had an easy self-check in process. Room was simple and had everything we needed. Beds were comfy and warm. Breakfast had the essentials (coffee, tea, breads, spreads, eggs, meats, cheeses). Location was good for visiting Black Diamond Beach and the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. There weren't many dinner options around, so make sure to plan that in advance. Area was also dark enough to catch some northern lights. The shower water did smell like sulfur and the smell filled up the bathroom bedroom, but we were able to air it out pretty quickly by opening the window. No complaints!

The property is pretty basic l, needs what need to have and that's it. I didn't sleep because there was an alarm beeping since 2:30am like up to 4:30am so didn't rest, there was no way to warm the room, like heat. Breakfast was good. On the other hand is a perfect spot to see the Northern lights if the weather permits

Room kinda small. Wish there’s breakfast even just simple one. The water turned so cold while showering. I have to rush as the water didnt get warm afterwards. Otherwise place is quiet and clean.

A fairly no-frills motel in an amazing location. The room was comfortable and clean, and breakfast was reasonable. There was a good place to have an evening meal about 15 minutes' drive away.

Clean and handy.
Basic but spotless, quiet, and comfortable. Hot drinks available in the hall. Great breakfast buffet. Reasonably priced - very good stop-over on the way to/from the glacial lagoons.

The hotel is pretty new with a staff on site. You can free coffee and it comes with breakfast. The price is also very reasonable.

Convient Guesthouse along the ring road
Very convenient guesthouse right along the ring road. Spacious rooms. Communal dining area with limited appliances (I wish the drive was available to guests and not just a microwave). The front desk woman is very nice and very helpful and does everything from check in to check out, breakfast (which is included) and cleaning.

Minuses: Poor bathroom design - the sink size was on par with plane lavatories, and the shower flooded the whole floor on use. The only table was tiny and unstable. Pluses: Temperature control on wall. Reasonably clean. Staff seemed nice. Neutral: Breakfast had all the basics but was probably bottom half of the breakfasts we had in Iceland. They have added nightstands via the stackable type of stool - not a real problem but doesn't make you feel great about the price. Note that if you want to use the microwave, that room is locked around 9 pm. Half the rooms have good views but the other half face the parking lot.

Чисто. Комната просторная. Легкое заселение с кодовым замком. На рецепшен есть кофе и чай. Есть завтрак. Большие окна комнаты на двоих выходят на автостоянку. Вид некрасивый. Кроме того, окна низко, шторы только светозащитные, поэтому люди со стоянки буквально глядят тебе в окно. Приходится в номере ходить одетым. В ванной очень плохой напор воды

Nice facility including private bathroom, though the hot water could be run out a little at the peak time. Also the shower is a little too slow.

The property was very close to the Ice Cave tour company we used to tour the glacier in the area, so it was very conveniently located. Being self check-in made it easy to receive our room. Many items were available for breakfast making it easy for our family of four to all be satisfied. Very clean!

It’s very happy place. The day we were there was sunny all day. The room was very clean. The sheets were clean and fresh. The staff, I believe his name is Mark was very nice. He assisted us making instant noodles because the microwave was out of order. It was just one of those moments that you felt everything coming together beautifully. We enjoyed ourselves there. Thank you Mark for making our stay very comfortable.

A remote gem
The guest house is about 200 metres off the highway 1. A car is essential and we strongly advise that you take some food with you for your evening meal as the nearest restaurant is some distance away. It is a new modern building and we had a lovely clean functional quiet bedroom and en-suite bathroom. Breakfast has plenty of choice including freshly baked bread. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We really enjoyed our one night stay. An excellent stop off if you are travelling around Iceland on route 1.
