Excellent location near Skógafoss

waterfall location breakfast buffet coffee machine tea machine
The hotel's location near Skógafoss waterfall was amazing. I could easily walk to the waterfall outside of peak tourist hours. The breakfast buffet offered many choices. The hotel provided free self-service coffee and tea.
The room got very hot, and i couldn't control the temperature.

varied food unique experience hot water
The breakfast included bacon, eggs, and beans. The location is very close to the Skógafoss waterfall (a 5-minute walk, actually). I also enjoyed access to hot water and drinks throughout my stay.
The coffee machine in the hallway could be noisy at night when other guests used it.

Acceptable Location, Disappointing Room

thin walls limited space
The location was indeed great, close to the waterfall.
My room felt quite basic for the price i paid. The walls seemed thin, and I could clearly hear other guests in the hallway and adjacent rooms. The bathroom was small with very limited space to place toiletries. This made getting ready inconvenient.
