NO HOT WATER We arrived the hotel soaking wet and freezing, and all we wanted to do was to take a hot shower, but surprisingly there was no hot water at all. There was no one at the reception desk. We tried calling the number they gave us for issues, but no one ever picked up. This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. DO NOT STAY HERE.

Kirkjufell hotel is a simple, unpretentious place. The price however was higher than a 4 star hotel in Reykjavik. The breakfast was simple too: bread, crackers, cereal, hard boiled egg, some jam, tea and coffee. No skyr! The shower leaked outside of the enclosure. In summary: way too expensive for what you get.

10min to Kirkjufell

If you’re looking for a basic room, shower and convenient to Kirkjufell this works. About a 10 min drive to the lot and has views of the mountain from our room. Very quiet and basic accommodation.

The room was spacious and had a nice view but overall the experience was very bizarre. Literally didn’t see a single employee the entire time we were there. We arrived and the key to our room was on the front desk with a note. The restaurant was closed and there was no way to get something as simple as a bottled water. Nobody there in the morning as we were departing. Definitely the weirdest hotel experience I’ve ever had.

Folks, there are a few things you should know. First, pretty much the whole place had a mold and or chemical smell. Unacceptable. Second, there was no elevator. Hence, we had to walk up sketchy stairs to carry luggage up. We are elderly and that is an issue. Fortunately the manager was a delightful young woman who went out of her way to help. I would not stay here again, nor would I recommend it. If it had not been for the likeable woman behind the desk the whole stay would have been a disaster

Nice big comfortable room and the bed was excellent. Hauling the suitcase up the stairs might cause a few issues, though didn’t bother me. Lack of a reception seems to be an Icelandic custom that takes a little getting used to.

This place was clean enough. It was just weird because even though we got there early for check in, there were no staff anywhere. Just keys and our names on a paper. There were some other people who didn’t have electricity in their room and it took awhile before they could get some help.

Our bed sheet/cover had over a dozen hairs on it...obviously not cleaned before available for the night again. The phone number left as available to call was consistently busy, so noone could be reached. Noone was available at the check-in desk at any time during our stay.

The hotel has 2 levels with only a narrow upright staircase which is very difficult to carry suitcases. The staff was immature unsociable and unhelpful. Also often unattended by staff. The room walls are thin so the noise is loud. The pipes are loud. The fire alarm went off and no one was around to help for a number of minutes and they did not know how to turn it off. On a positive note the beds are comfortable and the shower is nice.

The towns on the Snaefellsness peninsula are very small - like populations of 100 - 2000 people. I note that just because of the numerous choices of amenities around this particular one. Walkable to restaurants, coffee, and a cute little grocery. We moved on to a much more remote part of Iceland after this stop, and missed the convenience we had experienced here. Felt safe and clean. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Plenty of parking. One side of the hotel faces the ocean, the other Mt Kirkjufell.
