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.

Eric, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay overall, however the room was very warm and the one window we could open a few inches had to be propped to stay open. The room was clean. Loved the communal kitchen and dining area.

8/10 Very good

A reasonable stay

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.

Auberge agréable

Chambre petite mais agréable. Les rideaux laissent passer la lumière la nuit. La cuisine de l'auberge est bien équipée pour cuisiner.
