I was pleasantly surprised that I could check-in early, especially during a storm. The room had its sink, which was convenient. The apartment-type setup with two bedrooms and a shared kitchen and shower room was cozy. However, there was a bit of a hiccup waiting for the key due to old staff transitioning, but they were prompt in solving any scheduling issues.

I had a cozy stay at this hotel near a beautiful lake. The rooms were comfortable and had free wifi. The full Icelandic breakfast was a delightful touch, featuring homemade bread, trout, and more.
