What guests think
At Hótel Valaskjálf, reviews describe a basic, comfortable stay with an often-praised breakfast and a convenient in-town location, balanced by an older, stair-heavy building with no elevator and rooms that can feel small or dated.
The on-site restaurant and bar receive many compliments, though a few guests felt the selection or value could be better. Service is generally friendly and accommodating, but check-in times are enforced and a few guests reported unhelpful interactions. Many note comfy beds, but some report thin walls, light leakage from curtains, and occasionally patchy in-room Wi‑Fi. Overall, expect a straightforward, no-frills stop suited to short stays.

Facilities
Older, basic property with no elevator and several stairs, which can be challenging for luggage or limited mobility. An on-site bar with happy hour and a restaurant are convenient and generally appreciated.

Hotel was easy to find. Access to reception is through a flight of stairs, have to carry your heavy luggage. The room that was given to us smelled bad and noticed the toilet had not been cleaned; I immediately notified the receptionist and right away placed us in a better room and handled the situation. I wish I could give a better review, even after the issue was resolved, but I did not feel comfortable for the remainder of my stay (use of bathroom, eating in the restaurant).

Reception—- staff not very helpful. Multiple steps with no ramp or elevator to get to the desk.. situated to the side of the hotel. Room— multiple steps with no elevator or helpful way to get to the room. Room— very cramped for 3 adults. In a lower level like half basement. Very spartan furnishing for the price charged ( 247 US$ ). Bathroom — sink was very small & cracked, it was partly being shadowed by the small very old fashioned glass shelf. The water stank of sulphur. The bathroom measured less than 3 feet in diameter & about 8 ft or so in length. No place to keep your toilet stuff. Horrible for the price charged, at best it did not merit over 50 $. Not over 2 star rating. Restaurant —- very poor food. Over 25$ for a small cup of soup with very poor taste. Breakfast — most items in bread section were clearly stale or day old or more. Never stay there again.

The rooms were very dingy. The bathroom was deplorable. No elevators and no one to help if you have to haul your luggage. Breakfast was disappointing. Dinner was overpriced. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I should have looked at the Google rating (which is around 3) and it is correctly so.

Las habitaciones están muy bien. Dispone de un restaurante muy cómodo. Desayuno TOP. Me dejé olvidada una bolsa con pertenencias personales: ropa interior, pendientes de valor, dinero y pasaporte. Llamé y lo tenían! Me lo enviaron por avión a Reykjavík. TODO estaba, no faltaba nada. Servicio FANTÁSTICO. La persona que gestionó la incidencia fue muy profesional. - La moqueta de los pasillos estaba muy deteriorada y sucia. Son zonas de nieve y esto estropea estos materiales.

The bed was very very comfy and the buffet breakfast was nice. The hotel itself is a bit dated but we didn't have a problem with it. The room and bathroom were very clean. The tv only played radio stations and a couple of channels but since we only stayed for a night this wasn't an inconvenience. The staff was friendly and the location great, near restaurants and grocery stores.

Front of house staff were not too welcoming. There were issues in the room of a bed side lamp not working and also poor intermittent WIFI signal. When this was pointed out, the front of house staff didn’t seem to be helpful and said it was my device. It wasn’t. That said, it was an average stay and only for the one night. Perhaps we were just unlucky with the room that we had. On the plus, they served a very decent and comprehensive breakfast catering for all tastes with a wide variety.

The hotel room itself was very nice. It was the first room we have stayed at in Iceland with multiple pillows. The shower was inconsistent in its ability to stay hot, but wouldn’t go as far to say it got cold when it shouldn’t have been. Opening a window was a must, as it got a little stuffy and warm overnight. The room did not come with a mini fridge. The toilet was also not the strongest, as it required multiple flushes in some instances. The onsite restaurant was nice. It was vegan friendly, but not an abundance of options. The menu was definitely on the pricier side, but had a wide array of options for someone with an unrestricted diet. Very pretty views from rooms. Breakfast was good. There was an assortment of fruits, vegetables, meats, breads, coffee, tea, cereal, and juices.

Got caught here during a snow storm and they easily accommodated an extension. The rooms are big although we had to fully get everything out of the room so that they could clean. Breakfast was great. Decor was dated, but that would be my only minor complaint. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Small town, not much to do except for the baths and puffins (which we couldn’t see because the road was closed).

Firstly I’d like to thank the wonderful staff at this hotel for the lovely birthday surprise for my Fiancé when we arrived, you went above and beyond! The lady that checked us in was lovely, helpful and we didn’t have to wait long. Room was on the smaller side but had everything we needed for 1 night on our road trip - clean and comfortable. Breakfast was basic (same as most in Iceland) but plenty to fill you up and constantly replenished. Good location, lovely pizzeria and brewery a short walk away. Ample walking. Would stay again, thank you!

Reception—- staff not very helpful. Multiple steps with no ramp or elevator to get to the desk.. situated to the side of the hotel. Room— multiple steps with no elevator or helpful way to get to the room. Room— very cramped for 3 adults. In a lower level like half basement. Very spartan furnishing for the price charged ( 247 US$ ). Bathroom — sink was very small & cracked, it was partly being shadowed by the small very old fashioned glass shelf. The water stank of sulphur. The bathroom measured less than 3 feet in diameter & about 8 ft or so in length. No place to keep your toilet stuff. Horrible for the price charged, at best it did not merit over 50 $. Not over 2 star rating. Restaurant —- very poor food. Over 25$ for a small cup of soup with very poor taste. Breakfast — most items in bread section were clearly stale or day old or more. Never stay there again.

Nos costó un poco encontrar la entrada a recepción ya que, dependiendo de donde aparques, lo primero que ves es el restaurante y las salas de congresos. Las instalaciones tienden a estar un poco anticuadas ya, pero resulta práctico y cómodo. Situado dentro de la ciudad y bien comunicado para entrar y salir. El desayuno estaba bien. Quizás un poco caro visto en conjunto.
Nos costó un poco encontrar la entrada a recepción ya que, dependiendo de donde aparques, lo primero que ves es el restaurante y las salas de congresos. Las instalaciones tienden a estar un poco anticuadas ya, pero resulta práctico y cómodo. Situado dentro de la ciudad y bien comunicado para entrar y salir. El desayuno estaba bien. Quizás un poco caro visto en conjunto.

Reception—- staff not very helpful. Multiple steps with no ramp or elevator to get to the desk.. situated to the side of the hotel. Room— multiple steps with no elevator or helpful way to get to the room. Room— very cramped for 3 adults. In a lower level like half basement. Very spartan furnishing for the price charged ( 247 US$ ). Bathroom — sink was very small & cracked, it was partly being shadowed by the small very old fashioned glass shelf. The water stank of sulphur. The bathroom measured less than 3 feet in diameter & about 8 ft or so in length. No place to keep your toilet stuff. Horrible for the price charged, at best it did not merit over 50 $. Not over 2 star rating. Restaurant —- very poor food. Over 25$ for a small cup of soup with very poor taste. Breakfast — most items in bread section were clearly stale or day old or more. Never stay there again.

We had a really great experience here and the best mattresses we've found by far. This is the 5th night in Iceland for us and the previous 4 hotels the mattresses were not good at all. This hotel was lovely in every respect. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast they offered was probably the nicest one I've ever had - anywhere. Good water, good tv, good location, nice hotel :-)

Pros: Breakfast was good. The staff were good. Cons : Room was very expensive. Our room had some flying insects and our daughter woke up with a rash/insect bite.
