- Arnaldur Birgir (9/5): -
- SYLVIE (9/5): Séjour agréable - L’accueil de la jeune fille d’origine Argentine.
Très bon petit déjeuner et diner La chambre
- Ralf-Peter (6/5): Einfaches, teures Mittelklassehotel - Einfaches Hotel mit Restaurant. Essen okay,, Frühstück normales Buffet. Zimmer recht klein und eng. Nur zwei Einzelbetten. Bad auch sehr eng. Preis-) Leistungsverhältnis passt nicht wirklich.
- Christian (8/5): - Zimmer ok, Personal freundlich
- Michal (10/5): -
- Jeffrey (10/5): Our stay - Kamers waren voorzien van een smart tv. Restaurant en eten was goed met zeer vriendelijk personeel. Receptioniste leek op een kennis van thuis 😜 Er viel niks tegen.
- Serge (8/5): - Hôtel bien situé. Accueil agréable. Excellent petit-déjeuner.
- Marita (9/5): -
- Mara (7/5): -
- Chris (8/5): - Location is good. We stayed in a room that was below or garden level. A bit cold and lacked atmosphere.
- Martina (7/5): -
- Lukas (10/5): Alles bestens - Schönes Zimmer, bequemes Bett, freundliches Personal, alles bestens. Abendessen und Frühstück waren auch sehr gut. Nichts 😀

- stephane (9/5): Hôtel simple mais efficace - Chambre avec tout le nécessaire. Literie confortable. Petit déjeuner copieux et complet. Possibilité d'arriver tardivement. Rideau sur la douche mais c'est un détail.

- Linda (4/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit Preis Leistung stimmt hier leider gar nicht. Das Bad ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und das Frühstück war auch etwas lieblos. Das Personal war super freundlich aber man könnte schon besseren Schinken und besseres Brot anbieten und zum Beispiel Skyr. Der Preis ist für die Qualität leider einfach zu hoch.
- Jürgen (8/5): Sauber, gutes Essen, kleines Bad - Nettes hilfsbereites Personal an der Rezeption und im Restaurant. Zimmer ruhig. Gutes Frühstück Essen im Restaurant sehr gut. Bad klein, Waschbecken klein, Dusche mit Vorhang, was auf der einen Seite für mehr Bewegungsfreiheit sorgt aber auf der anderen Seite leider auch dazu neigt sich am Körper anzuheften.

- --Hola (9/5): -
- Ilpo (9/5): Friendly staff, good value, a bit worn out interior. - Easy check-in, friendly staff. Good breakfast, tasty, yet a bit cold scrambled eggs. Excellent bed and pillows, slept well. It is a bit worn out. Voices easily heard from the corridors, but not much noice anyway.

- Sreten Aevar (10/5): -
- Laurine (9/5): - Good location and very comfortable with a nice breakfast.
- serena (8/5): - La possibilità di poter cenare. La pizza era buona. Buona la colazione Il bagno era piccolo
- Alexandra (7/5): A lovely, characterful stop on the Ring Road with genuinely warm hospitality. - A really warm and welcoming hotel with a fantastic restaurant — if you’re there on a Sunday or Monday, the pizza night is a must. Location is excellent; close to the Reindeer Park (highly recommend) and around 30 minutes from Seyðisfjörður, which is absolutely worth the trip. The staff went above and beyond — as someone who needed refrigerated medication, they were more than happy to store it in the hotel fridge, along with some groceries we’d picked up along the way. That kind of thoughtfulness makes a real difference when you’re mid-road-trip. The twin room was surprisingly small for two people — manageable for a night but worth bearing in mind if you’re planning a longer stay. No fridge in the room, though this seems fairly standard for Icelandic hotels.
- Anke (5/5): -
- Pattara (9/5): A good choice and value for money - Room is good and clean
Restaurant is good Bathroom too small
- Benjamin (8/5): -
- Anna María (4/5): - Það var mjög vond lykt þegar ég kom inn í herbergið og mjög kalt. Vaskurinn á baðinu er með sprungum í, líka flísar við sturtuna, mjög kalt baðherbergisgólfið og engin baðmotta. Þurfti að setja ofninn á hæstu stillingu til þess að fá smá hita í þetta litla herbergi. Greinilega hefur orðið raka skemmd á baðinu því hurðakarmurinn farinn að morkna.

- Karlotta kristín (8/5): - Morgunmaturinn of snemma búinn
- Karlotta kristín (8/5): - Morgunmaturinn mætti vera til 10! Dáltið snemmt 7-9
- Marta (9/5): - Desayuno escaso pero rico Al llegar la ventana de la habitación estaba abierta y hacía mucho frio
- Thorrolf (6/5): Zu teuer, ohne Flair- auch für Island - Nettes Personal Schlechtes Frühstück
Laute Umgebung
Spartanische Ausstattung
Ausstattung in die Jahre gekommen
Location ……..
- Berglind María (5/5): Ágæt gisting - Rúmin voru þægileg, starfsfólkið var næs og það var hreint Sturtan var löskuð, baðherbergið lítið, staðsetningin var ekki nógu góð. Það stendur að herbergin séu hljóðeinangruð en þau eru það ekki.
- Haraldur (7/5): -
- Frederic (8/5): Tout est en ordre. - Propreté Rien à signaler
- ANTONIO (8/5): - Localizacao muito boa, check-in e check-out rapidos e sem burocracia. Cafe da manha faltou um item quente- bacon, ovos quentes ou salsicha...arquitetura do hotel mais simples, porem funcional
- Zlatin (9/5): -
- Presiman (8/5): - Relación calidad precio muy buena. Instalaciones antiguas pero completas. Un buen alojamiento para pasar una noche. Las habitaciones eran mejorables.
- HSIULI (10/5): - 地點佳,我在這裡看到了極光
- Anna Margrét (6/5): Gott að sofa, engin gæði samt - Staðsetningin. Fínn staður til að sofa á, en fer ekki frammúr væntingum í gæðum vs verði Í rauninni ekkert yfir neinu að kvarta, en skóhorn og einhverskonar skógrind og motta fyrir krapablauta skó væri nice þar sem fatahengið er hinumegin í herberginu. En herbergin eru líka í rauninni smá dýr miðað við, margir litlir hlutir sem væri hægt að bæta, t.d. myrkvunargardínu.

- Mani (9/5): - Clean and comfortable stay . The staff are very friendly . I wish I had asked for the name of the lady at the reception who helped us check in because she was super helpful and gave us a lot of good info . She told us about the upcoming storm as soon as we checked in so we could plan our trip and next day activities accordingly . Thank you lady :) Nothing - ah maybe one thing : there’s no lift - not a big deal tho .

- Inga (10/5): -
- Leigh (8/5): Clean and cozy hotel in Egilsstadir - The staff was so kind, the beds were comfortable, the location was convenient, and the hotel was very clean. The breakfast did not have many good options. We found much better continental breakfasts at other hotels in Iceland.
- Kim (8/5): -
- Gantlett (8/5): Good breakfast, clean and tidy room with great view, in central location. - bathroom well appointed, good design. Shower spacious , breakfast , gave a good variety of food, good coffee, nice bread. Room had a pleasant view. Reception staff helpful. shower very slow to get hot water through. Nothing else
- dario (10/5): - It was a beautiful experience to have had the opportunity to stay at this hotel. Delicious rooms, breakfast with the highest quality products and a restaurant that prepares exquisite dishes using its own organic products. Suggested experience!
- Juwel4567 (8/5): -
- Hafþór (7/5): Sæmilegt - Morgunverður ágætur Sjónvarpið var bilað
- Claire Renaud (9/5): - The bedroom was spacious, the bed was comfortable. The parking right in front was convenient. The breakfast buffet was nice. The bathroom was small, but nothing unusual compared to same-price hotels we've stayed at in Iceland.
- Chih (7/5): -
- Piotr (5/5): - Jedzenie w hotelowej restauracji smaczne. Łóżka wygodne. Pokój hotelowy natomiast najsłabszy z dotychczasowych. Ciasny tylko na przetrwanie jednej nocy. Jak na 3 gwiazdki spodziewaliśmy się więcej. Natomiast lokalizacja względem atrakcji turystycznych oraz sklepów itp. znakomita. Problemy z ogrzewaniem oraz ciepłą wodą. Ciasnota. Brak lodówki, niewystarczająca ilość miejsca na przechowywanie odzieży i rzeczy osobistych dla wszystkich użytkowników pokoju. Reszta Ok.
- Tuğberk (6/5): Fiyat performans oteli. - Konum ve iç alan ısı derecesi sıcaktı Eski tesis, kahvaltı çeşidi az, banyo perdesi duş için konforlu değil.
- Tinna (8/5): -
- Hummel (8/5): - Les lits sont très confortables
