The cottages were lovely. Enjoyed the beach being so close and quiet. The breakfast room looked a little dated when it was empty but during breakfast time it had a very friendly, peaceful vibe.

I stayed for two nights in a modern cabin close to the beach, which I think they refer to as a "luxury cottage". Friendly staff, clean & comfortable room with kitchenette including a microwave and mini fridge. A simple but filling breakfast each morning at the main building was included in the price. Brilliant! I would stay here again.

Friendly staff. Breakfast was very good with plenty of continental options.
Room was comfortable although not great for tall people due to the sloped ceiling.
Nice hot tub and good location to see the northern lights.

Great location
Hotel was very cute. Exactly as we expected. Our bathroom door was VERY loud but other than that the whole experience was amazing. The staff was wonderful and very very helpful. Location was beautiful right on the water. Would stay again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This hotel was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations. The room itself was beautiful—spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed to be both cozy and luxurious after long days of exploring Iceland.
But the real showstopper? Sitting in the hot tub while watching the northern lights dance across the sky. It’s hard to put into words just how surreal and unforgettable that experience was—truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment that I’ll carry with me forever.
On top of that, the staff was exceptional. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, they went out of their way to make sure every detail of our stay was perfect. You could feel how much they cared about creating an incredible experience for their guests.
If you’re looking for a place in Iceland that combines comfort, breathtaking scenery, and outstanding service, this is it. I can’t recommend it highly enough—and I would return in a heartbeat.

The hottub and sauna were a perfect way to end the evening.
Since we were leaving early and missed breakfast, they packed us a to go bag. Was very kind!
Made our first night in Iceland a great experience.

First I would like to mention that we stayed in the cottage, so my review is about it.
Easy check in. The property is 5 minutes from town on a beach area, so there nothing around. We loved it. The cottage was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable EXCEPT the pillows which were triable- flat and old- NEED NEW Pillows!! Also recommend to have a mat by the front door and kitchen towel.
We enjoyed our stay for one night and definitely will recommend this glance. Breakfast was good as well. There a hot tub, dry sauna and small relaxation room. We used it and enjoyed it!

We stayed for one night. Our room was renovated and the bed was comfy. The hotel has a sauna and a hot tub whose water is geothermal from the nearby mountain. The beach is in walking distance and the town is a few minutes drive across the bridge. Overall, a nice and relaxing stay!
