Great location
We had 2 rooms in the main part of the hotel. It was minus 5 putside, big dumps of snow and we struggled to be able to close a window. Overall stay was good. Great location, friendly staff, good breakfast (no cooked option), and rooms were a decent size, although both had 2 single beds.

Great location
Great location! The room was quite small- we were visiting Iceland as part of a longer international trip so we had one big suitcase and found it difficult to open it in the room but that really didn’t bother us. It was easy to park across the street and you can walk all around town from the hotel
