Great spot

Great stay in the family room with 3 twin beds. Spacious and clean with its own entryway. Shared kitchen. And view of kirkjufell
Emma, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place. Large room, Icelandic “double” room (two single beds put together). Large shared kitchen and a good location in town. My only complaint is that the smoke alarm went off at 2AM for no reason and stopped after about 15 seconds so my sleep wasn’t great
Ian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very pleasant experience. There is no dedicated reception but the everything is managed so nicely you will not miss one. Location can’t be better.
Raj, 1-night trip

Christine, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Lack of communication available with the hotel left us unsure of checkin options. Quite frustrating.
Allison, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice place. I would stay there again.
Darrin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay!

Since this was located in a small fishing town, I wasn’t excepting a whole lot and was very pleasantly surprised. The check-in process was very easy (considering there is no staff on premise). The room was large, bed was comfortable, and shower was great (stayed hot thru 2 back-to-back showers). Would have liked a second pillow for the bed and some hand towels. Other than that, no complaints.
