Hotel is next to the shore so if it's a nice day, you can walk and the view will be amazing but if it's raining, have in mind that the walk to your room is open space (no roof). Btw, the apple map drives you further, the hotel reception is at the restaurant.

A small table where you can eat or use your laptop would be nice. We had 2 chairs but no table. Check in was quick. We were given our keys and nothing else. No other information about the area or anything else.

We had a room with a view of the ocean which was wonderful. The area is incredibly small with limited options to eat, but there are a few walkable places. We had desert at the restaurant at the hotel. We were there on an incredibly windy night. Thr wind was so strong in sounded like it would blow the door open. There's not a lot of parking near the rooms. We had no hot water which was terrible. There are even signs in the room that says they are in a cold area and hot water is limited. Our hot water with non existent. The heat in the room was also very poor, we were cold when we slept. We didn't see anyway to adjust the heat. Other than that the room was comfortable and looked very nice. The stools for night stands are a little odd. It would have been a much better stay if the hot water and heat had been working. I mentioned the water to the front desk and they offered me hot coffee.

This was the best hotel in our entire stay in Iceland. The little wooden building with our room was kind of rudimental simplistic from the outside but very nicely equipped and comfortable. The view from the large floor to ceiling window was astonishingly beautiful. The restaurant was also nice, and they served good traditional Icelandic food too. I would recommend this hotel to any of my friends. I would like to go back sometimes hopefully in the near future. :)

Great location, walking distance to several sightseeing places. For check in, we had to wait a bit as the staff also work at the restaurant . The room is clean, a bit small for 3 people. There is limitation on hot water usage which is understandable.

No frills lodging option that was adequate on its own without unwelcoming staff. When we entered the reception area, we had a very cold and delayed check-in by staff who were more preoccupied with cleaning dishes than addressing their guests. It felt like we were a bother and verbal check-in instructions were unclear. The shower also had an all-in-one shampoo, conditioner and body wash. While satisfactory, this was not a standout.

This hotel is a little gem situated in a naturally beautiful part of Iceland. Walking distance from the hotel one finds themselves surrounded by the ocean, volcanic cliffs, birds, mountains and Waterfalls. Jump in the can and explore even more, and if you have a 4X4 take the F-Roads up toward the glacier and see the natural marvels this area offers. There is weather, so pack or wear protection against rain and wind — but this is Iceland, so you are proibably already equipped.
