Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from very clean rooms to reports of bathroom or room odors and occasional wear. Breakfast is simple and mostly self-serve or boxed, which many find handy, while a few consider it too basic. Overall, expect a straightforward, budget-friendly stay.

Free parking outside: shared lounge and dining area where you can help yourself to coffee machine - thought the coffee was good. We had twin room at back which was quiet and had black out roller blind which was quite good but still lets light in on sides and bottom if you get easily disturbed. Beds were comfortable but duvets too hot for summer. The reading lights mounted above the pillows makes sitting up in bed difficult which could have been avoided by better positioning. The tv only had a few channels working - reported it and was hopefully going to be fixed after we left; apparently there are supposed to be lots of channels. The bathroom is small but does the job. Unfortunately the pull around shower curtain and lip on the floor does not prevent water getting onto the rest of the floor and the extractor fan doesn’t work that effectively. Breakfast is a self service arrangement with a box in the fridge containing juice, rolls, local doughnuts and bananas. Ham, cheese and spreads as well as cereals available along with coffee. Place had a friendly vibe.

Very nice welcome from the staff, but make sure to arrive between 4-7PM. For a 2,5 star hotel, we had what to be expected - so we were not too surprised as we knew what we were booking. Simple and small rooms/bathrooms. Room was ver y clean/no view - on parking. Breakfast in a box for the morning which we found convenient. Convenient kitchen for those who want to cook at night as we know dining in restaurant is expensive in Iceland. We liked the living room set up that allowed us to interact with other travellers and learn about their journey. Card and dice games too: very nice. Very nice restaurant about 400m away called Sjávarborg. Make a reservation in advance.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft, Zimmer völlig ausreichend und neu renoviert / eingerichtet. Diese auch in Richtung Straße ruhig, da wenig Verkehr. Nette Vermieterin. Schöner Aufenthalts- und Frühstücksraum mit Kaffee und Tee. Frühstück als fertige Box pro Zimmer mit Brötchen, Bananen, Jogurt und Saft. Brot, Cornflakes, Milch usw. noch extra. Aus unserer Sicht vollkommen in Ordnung und besser als in manchem anderen Hotel.

Das Zimmer war winzig, es gab kaum genug Platz, um den Koffer zu öffnen. Der Schimmel im Bad war nur überstrichen und es gab einen Innenrollo, welches das Zimmer nur unzureichend abdunkelt - leider keinen Vorhang wie in anderen Hotels. Positiv sind die zahlreichen kostenlosen Parkplätze direkt vor dem Hotel und das gute Frühstücksbuffet mit eigenem Kaffeevollautomat. Wir würden hier wohl nicht wieder übernachten.

This was likely one of the smallest rooms I stayed in during my trip, but it was functional and clean. Windows, as you can see in the pictures are slim so the room feels a little cramped. Bathroom is also small but up to date, clean and functional. The hotel sends out an email with a code to open up a key locker with your key in it, if you arrive after hours. Alternatively, you can communicate with them using a ring doorbell. So you can just do your trip and not have to worry about arriving at specific time. Hotelroom had a smart TV with an active Netflix account for some reason, so I was able to watch a show to unwind before bed. Breakfast was basic, nothing out of the ordinary, compared to the other places I stayed at during my roadtrip. Staff seems reserved, but happy to help if anything is needed. I would stay here again when passing through. It was quite comfortable,

Nice enough little hotel on the side of the road. Our room was tidy, but there was definitely something going on with the bathroom. They had an oil incense thing going to cover the baseline odor, which I couldn’t identify. The combo was like something caught fire in an outhouse.

Free parking outside: shared lounge and dining area where you can help yourself to coffee machine - thought the coffee was good. We had twin room at back which was quiet and had black out roller blind which was quite good but still lets light in on sides and bottom if you get easily disturbed. Beds were comfortable but duvets too hot for summer. The reading lights mounted above the pillows makes sitting up in bed difficult which could have been avoided by better positioning. The tv only had a few channels working - reported it and was hopefully going to be fixed after we left; apparently there are supposed to be lots of channels. The bathroom is small but does the job. Unfortunately the pull around shower curtain and lip on the floor does not prevent water getting onto the rest of the floor and the extractor fan doesn’t work that effectively. Breakfast is a self service arrangement with a box in the fridge containing juice, rolls, local doughnuts and bananas. Ham, cheese and spreads as well as cereals available along with coffee.

Breakfast is a self service arrangement with a box in the fridge containing juice, rolls, local doughnuts and bananas. Ham, cheese and spreads as well as cereals available along with coffee. Place had a friendly vibe.

The staff was very helpful and pleasant. The guesthouse was clean and welcoming. We could walk around town from the guesthouse even though the town was small. There was 1 restaurant and a small grocery store. I would stay there again if I were back in the area.

Very nice welcome from the staff, but make sure to arrive between 4-7PM. For a 2,5 star hotel, we had what to be expected - so we were not too surprised as we knew what we were booking. Simple and small rooms/bathrooms. Room was ver y clean/no view - on parking. Breakfast in a box for the morning which we found convenient. Convenient kitchen for those who want to cook at night as we know dining in restaurant is expensive in Iceland. We liked the living room set up that allowed us to interact with other travellers and learn about their journey. Card and dice games too: very nice. Very nice restaurant about 400m away called Sjávarborg. Make a reservation in advance.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft, Zimmer völlig ausreichend und neu renoviert / eingerichtet. Diese auch in Richtung Straße ruhig, da wenig Verkehr. Nette Vermieterin. Schöner Aufenthalts- und Frühstücksraum mit Kaffee und Tee. Frühstück als fertige Box pro Zimmer mit Brötchen, Bananen, Jogurt und Saft. Brot, Cornflakes, Milch usw. noch extra. Aus unserer Sicht vollkommen in Ordnung und besser als in manchem anderen Hotel.

Nice enough little hotel on the side of the road. Our room was tidy, but there was definitely something going on with the bathroom. They had an oil incense thing going to cover the baseline odor, which I couldn’t identify. The combo was like something caught fire in an outhouse.

Dining
Breakfast is simple, often self-serve or provided in a boxed set; many find it convenient, though a few felt it was too basic. Coffee from the machine is well liked.

Free parking outside: shared lounge and dining area where you can help yourself to coffee machine - thought the coffee was good. We had twin room at back which was quiet and had black out roller blind which was quite good but still lets light in on sides and bottom if you get easily disturbed. Beds were comfortable but duvets too hot for summer. The reading lights mounted above the pillows makes sitting up in bed difficult which could have been avoided by better positioning. The tv only had a few channels working - reported it and was hopefully going to be fixed after we left; apparently there are supposed to be lots of channels. The bathroom is small but does the job. Unfortunately the pull around shower curtain and lip on the floor does not prevent water getting onto the rest of the floor and the extractor fan doesn’t work that effectively. Breakfast is a self service arrangement with a box in the fridge containing juice, rolls, local doughnuts and bananas. Ham, cheese and spreads as well as cereals available along with coffee.

Booked this with the option of breakfast provided however the breakfast was a cold pre-packaged bread roll. Would have preferred to book accommodation that was cheaper without breakfast if this was known.

Das Zimmer war winzig, es gab kaum genug Platz, um den Koffer zu öffnen. Der Schimmel im Bad war nur überstrichen und es gab einen Innenrollo, welches das Zimmer nur unzureichend abdunkelt - leider keinen Vorhang wie in anderen Hotels. Positiv sind die zahlreichen kostenlosen Parkplätze direkt vor dem Hotel und das gute Frühstücksbuffet mit eigenem Kaffeevollautomat. Wir würden hier wohl nicht wieder übernachten.

Our room #7 was clean and tidy. Like some other reviews, we too had an odour in the bathroom. Not sure what it was, not horrible but definitely noticeable. Coffee and tea available 24/7 and communal kitchen amenities are available to all.

This hotel was well marked and the location near the water was great! We took a walk on the beach and rocks and enjoyed that very much. The rooms felt like a dorm more than a hotel and we had requested double beds but were given twin beds in all 3 rooms that we reserved. The instructions for check in were not clear and we had to get support on the line from Hotels.com to figure out check in as there was no staff at check in time and the phone number for the hotel wasn’t working. Breakfast was only offered for some guests and not included for all and it looked like mostly boxed cold food. Overall, it was clean and fine. It wasn’t memorable or impressive and the lack of staff for check in, for answering questions via email or phone, and the lack of warmth even with the breakfast made it a place we probably wouldn’t stay again. The best part about it was the location, and we did appreciate that the rooms were clean and there was free parking.
