4/10 Fair

No value for money

Hotel is below average meanwhile price is quite high, no value for money at all. Room was in a bad condition, it’s actually like a Motel or Hostel.

조식을 알차게 주는 숙소

아침을 든든하게 먹고 갈 수 있어서 인상깊었던 숙소였습니다. 1층에 배정받으면 마을 전체 뷰를 따로 볼 수는 없으니 참고 바랍니다.

10/10 Exceptional

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 :-)

6/10 Good

An obliging receptionist arranged an early check in. Good buffet breakfast.The door lock was super difficult to use. Smart TV had no free channels.

6/10 Good

Not recommended

This is a hotel with rooms that are very old and dated. Tiny tiny bathroom with only an overhead shower. No shower wand or shower cap so be prepared to get your hair wet. No tissues, hair conditioner or other amenities you would expect at this price point. Hair dryer provided is also ancient. Requires you to continuously squeeze the handle in order for air to flow. Then it practically overheats. No cool button. Ridiculous place. No staff around in the breakfast area. Most of the food was cold and picked over by 9 am. There are very few hotels and guesthouses in this area so they can do what they want and guests have to take it. If you can book elsewhere, I suggest doing so.

Gezellige barman

Heerlijke bedden. Fijne bar en een super uitgebreid ontbijt. Hoorde wel de tv van de buren maar wel zacht. Barkeeper is gezellig en er is een pooltafel

4/10 Fair

Old building. Small rooms which are definetely not soundproof. Curtains that do not darken the room in summer. Furnishing a bit old fashioned and not much space for luggage. Very kind and very helpful staff.
