    It is called Studlagil, but it is around 15-20 minutes by car to get there. It was the most expensive accommodation in Iceland we had, but it wasn’t exceptional. We got the room outside of the hotel complex, there was only plug in heating that was a little loud.

    This hotel is close to the road 1, so it is comfortable to stop here for one night if you are on your way around the whole Iceland. Breakfast was really good and everything was fresh and tasty.

    My shower only had piping hot water, couldn't get cold water to cool it down. No problem at the basin fortunately.

    From the road the hotel doesn't look like anything, but then you park at the side and ... voila! Really comfortable beds, a quiet and spacious room and tea and coffee facilities, even a functioning microwave. Of course ideally situated to visit the impressive Canyon. At the price, I was pleasantly surprised.

    No milk in the fridge for tea/coffee was available after hours.

    It is situated very close to the canyon, which is an easy hike in summer even after 8pm, because of the long days. Property is newly renovated and refurbished rooms, common areas contain interesting collection of vintage furniture. Tea/ coffee available in the common breakfast area all the time.

    Overcharged for early booking so expensive for a road side hotel. Room heating could not be turned off, so felt like constant sauna Breakfast ended at 9am is too early Mattresses too soft

    Great staff and common area

    There was an unpleasant musty smell in the room. The breakfast was quite unusual compared to other hotels. Overall, the owners need to improve the service and comfort
