As you head up the Þjórsá valley, this hotel complex sits just off Rte 30, 17km before Árnes. Forty-two rooms include large, modern doubles with crisp white linen and dark-blue hues, plus flat-screen TVs. Family rooms are bigger still.
The restaurant (6.30pm to 9.30pm; mains around 4500kr) serves up good Icelandic staples like fish of the day or local lamb. A hot-pot and sauna add to the fun.
