Great place to stay, safe and quiet. Nearby to urridafoss. Rooms are a bit small, however the overstay is good.

Rooms are very comfy and the facilities are well maintained. Had the opportunity to stay here on two occasions in Iceland and would highly recommend to other travelers. Also, got some great pics of the northern lights here!
