All aspects of stay were good, only thing negative was that arm chair was blocking fire exit if there had been a manned reception I would have pointed it out. As it was I made a mental note in case it was required.

The hotel receives three and a half stars out of five but we found thst over generous. It claims a 24/7 reception but there was no one in reception when we arrived. Our room number and access code were written on a folded (and sealed) piece of paper. The rooms are in a seperate block with a vending machine and microwave just jnside the entrance. Not what we were expecting for 3.5 stars. The carpet in the hallway is quite old and there are stairs down to the last few rooms, making it a little difficult to navigate with heavy roller cases. The room was clean but very basic. Their was a message apologizing that the TV had no connection and saying that the hotel was waiting for a service person to fix the problem. This was in October. We looked at other reviews from June that talked of the same problem! The wifi did work well tho', so we watched "TV" on our laptop. Some of the 5 star reviews were given because of excellent restaurant food. That seems to be based on recommendations to a local restaurant. The hotel does not serve diner. Breakfast was good, with lots of fresh fruit, meats and cheeses, and hot food etc. The breakfast staff were very helpful.

The staff, location, and property were very well kept and easy to find. The proximity to the lower portion of Iceland and the village of Vík and attractions made it very desirable.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the rooms are nice, very clean, comfy. What is outstanding is the breakfast buffet. Best one I've had in Iceland! Lovely people, everything was great!

My email confirmation provided information for just one room but we had reserved two. Multiple emails to the property prior to arrival to confirm we had two rooms went unanswered which was very unnerving because we were flying in from the US and going straight to the hotel without knowing if we had the rooms we needed. The self-serve check in was not secure. The property provides a piece of paper with your name on the outside and on the inside the folded paper is the room number and electronic door lock code. Because it is just a folded paper (not inside an envelope or taped/stapled closed) everyone has access to all of the door lock codes. I wonder if they even change the door lock codes between guests. The breakfast provided was well stocked and outstanding. The property is not close to town so the provided breakfast was very helpful to have.

Super easy check in. Very quiet place to stay. Breakfast was good as well. Beds were Comfortable. The only thing I didn’t like was how hot the rooms got at night. Otherwise, good location for the day we had planned.
