The hotel is located in the center of the town. They have serval buildings in the town, and you would receive information about which building you would stay. They have a restaurant to offer delicious local food.

We had a great stay here! The room was recently refurbished and was really nice. Check-in and out was really easy (self service) and we had an amazing dinner and fantastic breakfast in the restaurant (a separate building to the rooms). The staff at dinner and breakfast were efficient and friendly too. It’s located in a cute little village with stunning scenery. Would recommend a night or two here!

We enjoyed this hotel and the area. Self check in as this property is one of three and there’s a central office. Hotel was clean. Breakfast was not included but was available at the main hotel of this brand (one brand, 3 hotel houses). Breakfast was pretty expensive relative to other Iceland hotels. We would stay at this property again.

We realized we'll be late for physical check-in and were very worried but the nice worker at the desk calmed us down and instructed us on how to self check-in, which allowed us to continue the trip with more ease. The only thing we would recommend doing is adding sun-blocking curtains, since it woke us up at 5 am..

We booked this property that was called a hotel. Had 10/10 ratings in reviews. It is not a hotel. We are in an outer building with thin walls. Can hear person stomping above us since 4:30 am. Nowhere to sit other than uncomfortably chair in dark room ( spouse sleeping). No amenities. No tv, furniture, towel rack, tp holder, kleenex. Just 4 walls, bnd adjacent bathroom and wardrobe. Would never have booked stay in this town but for glowing reviews on Expedia. Don't stay here!

Doors slam shut and you can hear every conversation if guests decide to talk in the hallway or foyer. Hard to sleep due to these reasons. Rooms are cute and clean and the location is great but if you are not a sound sleeper, probably not the best choice.

The location was amazing. Gorgeous scenery. Except for the humungous cruise ships that were docked in the fjord. HOWEVER, the building, an old bank I was told, had a front door that slammed shut, stairs that creaked, and the ability to hear every footfall from the room on the floor above. Without earplugs, one can forget about sleeping. So that diminished and otherwise superb experience. The food in the dining room was only so-so.

Service

Staff are frequently praised as friendly, accommodating, and helpful, and many found the check-in process straightforward. However, the multi-building setup means limited on-site reception at times, and a few guests found the process confusing or impersonal.

This is a converted bank to guest rooms. Room was decorated with an “antique” style. Everything thing spotless, shower a bit small. No staff on premises. Checkin at local eatery quick and easy, but I felt the reception person was a bit condescending. Only had to see him once, so past that. Small fishing town , not much to do. Nice meal at El Grillo.
