Very Good

Had a nice stay. Breakfast was nice. Room was simple and clean, had everything we needed. Short walk into town for dining options (also had restaurant on site)
Did not realise that the bar attached to the property was also a night club, it was a little too loud for our tastes. But the staff were very friendly, the breakfast was delicious and the rooms were very clean.
Restaurant on site has great food, happy hour 🎉
Great complimentary breakfast. Rooms are older but still great and cleaned well. Very happy with our stay!
Wonderful hotel and the staff was amazing! We felt so welcome. The room we got was great but as summer nights in Iceland are very bright the curtains could be better. At least have roller blinds behind the blackout curtains.
The food at the restaurant was amazing as was the breakfast.
The room itself was adequate. The shower is a little slippery for older folks. Beds were comfortable and the double pillows were an added bonus.
The main issue was the restaurant. It appeared that service in that restaurant differs depending on the color of one’s skin which was disappointing as it put a small damper on my mother’s dream trip.
Not a very friendly front desk staff, their free WiFi sucks, doesn’t work in rooms, works only near front desk. We had booked two rooms for two couples and they provided single beds that too in different directions.
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).
