The restaurant stands out with its Icelandic cuisine, and that outdoor terrace is pure magic when the weather cooperates. If you are seeking both adventure and relaxation, it seems to strike a nice balance.”

king bed walk-in shower soaking tub
i occupied the suite. i found a sitting area with a sofa, a table, a chair, and a tv. the sleeping area had a king-sized bed and its own tv. the bathroom provided a separate soaking tub and a walk-in shower.
the road leading to the hotel is in a quite poor state.
