Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Yes on both counts, we wanted to give our accolades to whoever laid out the building site and the interiors, as the buildings were pointed in the right direction so that the rear window provided an excellent view of the northern lites without having to go outside. Also; we enjoyed going into town to use the geo-thermal hot tub and sauna, very nice. All in all, we had a very good stay.

Nice cabin with great amenities nearby. The bathroom was very modern and spacious. The cabin was very clean and it was easy to access it. It is located in a quiet environment, but near Keflavik and the airport. It was nice to see horses in the field just beside it!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Common area was clean, and extremely well equipped. The cabin was small, but comfortable. One suggestion would be something that holds the blinds from moving when they're drawn so they don't clank on the wall when the window is open. Otherwise, a great stay close to the airport, good first/last night location!

It's a really nice hotel to stay for a night or two. Very convenient location close to the airport. Don't bother to bring food to the hotel because the kitchen on the site is full of food that people leave behind:)
