    clean room
    confusing facilities
    unhelpful staff

    Clean and spacious room.

    During our stay, we faced issues with the washer/dryer setup, which was quite confusing without clear instructions. Furthermore, the staff was not particularly helpful when we had questions about using the facilities. Although the hot tub and sauna were nice, the lack of user guidance made it frustrating to enjoy them properly.

    breathtaking views
    cozy cottage

    Family vacation spot with stunning views

    We had an unforgettable time here. The cottage was warm and cozy, and the view was just impeccable! ! I mean, every window offered a breathtaking sight, and the northern lights? ? Wow, it felt like nature was putting on a show just for us!

    It wasn't cheap, but honestly, it was alright given the wonderful experience.

    friendly vibe
    spacious rooms
    great location
    limited internet access

    We had an awesome time with friends! The location was great for hiking and skiing. We loved visiting Bjarteyjarsandur, a spot with rich history, and the Akranes swimming pool, which was perfect for kids with its slide. Rooms were spacious and clean, and we appreciated the helpful staff. Definitely recommend this place for its amenities and friendly vibe.

    The only downside was that our studio had wired internet instead of wifi, which made it tough to connect our mobile devices. It would be nice if they had better options for internet access.

    modern decor
    spacious areas
    breathtaking view
    lack of activities
    limited senior-friendly options

    The modern decor was charming and spacious, making our stay comfortable. The elevators made it easy to navigate around, ensuring our senior group's needs were well-catered for, and the view from the balcony was simply breathtaking.

    No specialized activities for seniors.

    clean room
    handy kitchenette
    nice balcony
    disappointing view
    overlooking road

    The Deluxe Triple Room was clean and comfy, with all the essentials. We had a kitchenette, which was super handy. The view was unfortunately just of a road and another building, so that was a bummer. But the balcony was nice, especially when we spotted the northern lights! Overall, it was a cozy spot to relax after a day of exploring.

    spacious kitchenette
    disappointing view

    The location, as far as inbetween Reykjavik and the

    Snaefellsnes peninsula, was excellent. The room had a kitchenette and was spotless, but the view from the room was disappointing. Fortunately, we did see northern lights one night! The herd of Icelandic horses nearby was an added bonus.

    clean modern room

    ideal spot for exploring parks and dining in leira

    the restaurant nearby served an amazing lamb soup, and the lovely staff made my stay feel warm and inviting while I enjoyed the stunning river views from my clean and modern room, which was perfect for my weekend city strolls.

    private sauna
    full kitchen
    sticky doors

    We had an incredible family trip with stunning views of the Northern Lights right from our room. The sauna was big and private. The full kitchen was super convenient for meals.

    home-cooked dish
    limited menu

    A delightful dinner surprise

    Stopped for a quick meal and found a hidden gem! The home-cooked cod and asparagus soup ignited our taste buds. Staff was friendly, making us feel welcomed.

    Unfortunately, the prices felt a bit steep for the limited menu choices. A few more options would have made the dining experience even better.

    Our stay was fantastic! We enjoyed the spacious room that came with a full kitchen and a washer/dryer combo, which made our time there incredibly convenient. Being able to step outside and see the northern lights without any light pollution was simply mesmerizing. The sauna and jacuzzi were added bonuses for relaxation after a day of exploring. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a comfortable place with great amenities.
