varied foodunique experiencehot 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

great locationthin wallslimited 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.
