We stayed in the church apartment and it was an amazing experience! So fun! But there was a kitchen with no way to heat food… and the stairs to the bathroom were a ladder! Just beware. Totally worth it!

This place is a gem. The hotel is spotless, right on the ocean, and has a lovely little restaurant with sunset views that is very good. They were able to accommodate gluten free diets, which is important for me as someone with celiac. And the views were incredible.

Room was excellent with great views over river. However the outside light on the deck could not be turned off and would have liked to especially in order to have better opportunity to see the northern lights with darker skies. Food in restaurant was excellent but would have preferred it to be hotter in temperature but personal opinion.

Cottage near the ocean

Really beautiful Cape Cod like cottage near a black sand beach and walking trail which is a great stop along the ring road. Nice breakfast, friendly staff and at least one hotel cat. Very beautiful sunny day while there.

Lovely!

This was a wonderful surprise. The 3-person room turned out to be an apartment (1/4 of a building, I think), right on the water. Loved watching the birds from our porch and able to pop out to walk and watch the sunset. The apartment is renovated from one of the original Blonduos buildings and has been furnished with an old-time aesthetic. The sitting room was great. The kitchen has everything you need to eat at home (in Iceland, that saves a lot of money). Breakfast was provided back in the regular hotel and was typical Icelandic (plus a waffle maker) and excellent.
