We have been staying all around Iceland, and this accommodation was absolutely our favorite! So friendly, restaurant on site, tea/coffee/water available. The room was spacious, clean, and lovely. Bed was very comfortable! We would definitely recommend other travelers make the trip north of Husavik to this wonderful lodging.

This was an amazing hotel. Looks very new, large windows in common areas with a nice view. Rooms were basic and very clean. Double black out blinds really helped with the sleep in summer months. You can tell owners put a lot of thought into this hotel. I can 100% recommend this hotel!

Beautiful quiet riverside location. Really enjoyed my stay here. Greeted at reception by a lovely chap (Leonardo?) who was very welcoming and organised some soup for me within minutes of my arrival. The room was warm clean and comfortable. Being out of season (mid October) there were only a few guests staying but there was always a member of staff available. I can highly recommend this place.
