Basically a bare bones room - but a good size room with lots of storage area. The room was very clean but the march to the room from the parking lot is a bit of a hike (slightly uphill). Not easy for handicapped people.

The area by this hotel is amazing. It was clean and nice, though on the smaller side. Hot water is limited but shouldn’t be an issue if you take quick showers.

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. :)
