“The main draw is undoubtedly the location, placing you steps away from Skogafoss waterfall; some rooms even offer views, though they can be partially obstructed, this access makes early exploration easy. Rooms might be small and a bit dated, but the restaurant receives praise, especially for its generous burgers. It's a perfectly acceptable stopover for a night.”
