Didn’t spend much time here but sports bar food was ok. Breakfast was included more of continental style with local flare. It is all pretty pricey in Iceland already and then add on hotel mark up for food but price of the hotel was decent for the quality.

Stayed at this hotel twice, once in the beginning, and also at the end of our trip around Iceland. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Lots of well lit parking, it’s just off the highway, but quiet, We preferred the rooms on the back of the building. The breakfast was excellent, and the tv actually had some good channels.

Breakfast was basic but fresh and well managed. Very convenient to main roads in and out of Reykjavik. Only complaint was a lingering barnyard(mold?) in hallways. Front desk aware of it but said nothing could be done - seems like a professional service needs to come and inspect/clean?

We didn't want to stay in the city so great location for us. Free parking and free breakfast saves travelers a lot of money. Gym is next door and access is included. Good Thai restaurant and grocery store within walking distance. Rooms and beds were small, but very clean. No mini fridge or microwave. Definitely recommend this hotel.

Great location and hotel if you have a car

Great location if you are driving, near the main road and with free parking. Good service and a nice hotel. The shower at the hotel is very good. The breakfast is free and a plus, but not with the best selection.
