Really interesting hotel in great setting

It's an interesting hotel, utilising former French hospital buildings and containing an interesting musuem about the French sailors, mainly from Brittany who spent half the year in tough conditions fishing along the Icelandic coast. The receptionist was friendly, informative and welcoming. Our room was over the road (free parking outside) with a view over the fjord. The room was spacious and modern with good black out curtains and a fab view. We booked into the French restaurant withon the hotel and both enjoyed our meals. Breakfast was also enjoyable with a good range ot items which were stocked up regularly. Neither the hotel or the restaurant are cheap - nothing in Iceland is cheap! However it was a pleasant quiet night. NB Nothing to do with the hotel but the fish industry locally is still very much alive and so we had a strong whiff of fish when outside. Doesn’t take away from the great views and setting.

This was my favorite hotel of my ring road trip simply due to the balcony overlooking the fjord. I spent hours just sitting, sipping coffee, and watching the ducks/ducklings. Such a relaxing location and the room was a good size. I really miss this hotel the most out of my whole trip. Also, Tatyana at check in has such a bubbly personality that it was great to see someone who really enjoys what they are doing and is an extremely welcoming person. 10/10 will be back!

This is a beautiful hotel on the water in a beautiful fjord. The room was lovely and the staff were very helpful. We ate at the restaurant at the hotel as well as the two in the community - everything was delicious. We used this as a base to explore the other east fjords. The trails were very good. We loved the quiet relaxed atmosphere of the area.
Found this beach on our way there.
Be sure to visit the museum

Miserable stay!

Miserable! We were put in a handicap room (I wasn’t aware until after we noticed the bathroom) and were on the ground level. I would understand if we were checking in early or late, but that wasn’t the case. Being on the ground floor means constant noises from above and even under (restaurant). Chairs sliding on the hard floor, feet stomping from above, slamming of doors (our room door needed an extra hard push to close) and this was until 11pm! Lots of basic items were broken (hot water pot, handle for towel heater (disappointed I couldn’t use it), trash can step didn’t open lid, hair dryer works for 30 secs and then you wait for 2 mins for a reset, phone didn’t have dial tone to call reception which is across street, bed was hard like sleeping on floor, room door needed an extra hard push to close (stranger opened our door by mistake since it wasn’t shut. Luckily I was decent) and the bathroom..ugg! The shower had a curtain in the corner and water got all over the floor. I don’t understand but noticed out here the shower design is cramped and no doors. Also, trying to fill up water bottle in small sink is difficult!! Non smoking hotel but people smoke right outside your window! This is our 3rd hotel in Iceland. I am petite but wonder how a larger person would manage. Also, our 2nd Foss Hotel. Trying out another one tomorrow in a different area. Positive notes: Staff friendly, great location with pier for Aurora viewing,and restaurant food (although expensive) was delicious!

The building and room are gorgeous. Our room was spacious with lovely decor. We had a view of the mountains, the shower has wonderful water pressure. The ‘double’ bed was two twin beds that easily push apart, which is what we needed. The only complaint is the beds are not comfy. They are thin and stiff.
