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.

The hotel was easy off/on to the freeway and mid-way between the KEF airport and Reykjavik which worked well for us. The family accommodations worked well for our grown kids and my husband and I...4 single beds. I would stay here again. It was close to Hafnarfjordur so we could easily drive to get some food.
