Finding the hotel

Drive down the street 3-5 blocks (depending on definition) until you come to a small square, Silfurtorg. Then, the hotel is on the right hand side of the street. Turn to the right when you see the hotel. Free parking in front or in the back of the hotel, but also ample parking spaces behind it.

You can try to familiarize yourself with the town by using the phone book interactive map at Já.is.
