Check in was easy and the kitchen was well equipped. However they have a shared policy in the kitchen meaning all of our newly bought groceries was taken by other guests. It doesn’t really make sense that in order to store your food in the kitchen you have to accept that other people will take it. The beds weren’t the best and the duvets were not long enough. We had the basement room so we could hear loudly every time other guests used their bathroom. Overall I think the place is a bit overpriced compared to what you get.

Lack of communication available with the hotel left us unsure of checkin options. Quite frustrating.

Easy check in and check out. Restaurant within walk-in distance. Kitchen was a bit crowded so I am glad we didn’t plan to cook. Just a few minutes away from beautiful view of the water and sunset. We drove for about 5-10 minutes and got to see northern lights. It’s located in a cute small town. Highly recommend.

The customer service was outstanding. We booked room 21 for 2 nights, £160 per night. Compared to the other 10 hotels we stayed in across Iceland it had what we needed, but was more basic and cramped. The facilities included are excellent as is the location. I would get rid of the table in the room and have 2 side tables as one bed is against the window. Only 2 hangers and a few hooks. Toilet close to shower, general room a tight squeeze with little room for luggage. View of cars and main road. No noise though, we slept very well. This is a nice place to stay, but we didn’t feel the room we were in was good value for money, but know other rooms were absolutely fine. We were recommended a fabulous restaurant, Mathus, the food was delicious. Great coffee shop recommendation too. Host was great.
