Tyst, och fina omgivningar. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Bra frukost, för att vara ett isländskt hotell. Sköna sängar. Hade även möjlighet att äta middag, fast vi valde aannan restaurang pga av tidsbesparing.

The host kept the kitchen open because we got in so late. Very much appreciated. The room was tiny as was the bathroom, but it was only for one night. Room was quiet and very clean. Comfortable bed.

Interesting property that was once a boarding school. Was there in the off-season and there were no dining options available. There is a very rustic restaurant about 10 miles North of this property. The only other option was the town of Hick 25 miles Southwest. If you were traveling to Northern or eastern Iceland, it’s wise not to let you fuel get below half a tank and keep some extra food in the car in case you find yourself in a village where everything is closed at 6 PM. Iceland is GORGEOUS and the people are lovely, but there are much fewer options in the remote areas for fuel and food.

A great basic hotel with extraordinary staff

We loved the staff; every one of them was extremely helpful and friendly. They made sure we are missing nothing at breakfast, had nice little chats with us, and even let us use the staff washing machine. The hotel is quite in the middle of nowhere, but has good breakfast, and you can drive 10 minutes to the grocery store at Ásbyrgi. The 35-minute drive from the hotel to Húsavík is beautiful with majestic beach cliffs.

Das Hotel ist ein Disaster, null Organisation: Wir kamen um 15:55 Uhr am Hotel an, Check-In war ab 16 Uhr angegeben Wir fanden ein leeres Hotel vor, und selbst nach 30 Minuten gab es kein Anzeichen einer Kontaktperson, auch nicht nach mehrmaligen Anrufen bei der angegebenen Kontaktnummer. Nach einer Stunde warten (es waren 3 weitere Autos mit uns auch am warten) meldete sich eine Person zurück und sagte, sie wäre nach 10 Minuten da. Nach 10 Minuten kam diese Person auch, sagte nur ein kaltes „Sorry“ und mehr gab es da nicht, keine aufrichtige Entschuldigung, gar nichts. Wir durften dann ganz normal unsere Übernachtungsgebühr in vollem Preis bezahlen. Am nächsten Morgen ging es gleich weiter: Wir kamen zum (extra gegen Aufpreis bezahlten) Frühstück, alle Tische waren voll mit benutztem Geschirr, daraufhin mussten wir erstmal unseren Tisch selbst abräumen und abwischen. Danach durften wir wieder 15 Minuten auf Geschirr warten, da keines vorhanden war und auch keine Ansprechperson in Reichweite war. Hier wird auf die Gäste keine Rücksicht genommen und Service ein Fremdwort.

I will absolutely recommend this hotel to my friends, nice and quiet rooms, aesthetically furnished space for breakfast, reception and lounge. I guess it’s been renewed not so long ago. Photos online doesn’t look that good as it is in reality. We enjoyed our stay. View from the window also was great (expect plastic bad with garbage haha), but well yes, all was good.
