Great location, close to scenic spots. A bit challenging checking in in the evening but the host was in the end accommodating to make up for it.

Room was clean and spacious; also very comfy mattress! But our room was up two sets of stairs and there is no elevator! Which was not ideal with the luggage… breakfast was reasonable! Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Truly a 2.5 star hotel.
Let’s see … insufficient and unclear parking, 3 floors and no elevator, below average budget hotel breakfast, the room feels like a converted attic with little space to the sides of the bed and a super tiny shower … oh and the stairs down are tiny and you can easily fall with your luggage … and over $300 / night! The only good thing to say so that the staff is friendly and helps you with the luggage.

Better than expected
We truly enjoyed our stay at Kirkjufell Hotel. It's important to note that Grundarfjordur is a small town on the northern coast of the peninsula -- not a place where one should or would expect a 5-star hotel. Instead, what you're seeking is a clean, comfortable, friendly place to stay the night while enjoying the beautiful outdoors, which is exactly what Kirkjufell Hotel provides. The hotel is charming in the way that urban hotels lack, with bird and fish identification posters hung in common areas because they are relevant to guests. The lounge areas, though modest, are comfortable, and the included breakfast was a typical Icelandic breakfast buffet with yogurt, cereal, meats, cheese, breads, etc. Our rooms were also typical, perhaps a little larger than the hotel rooms we enjoyed in Reykjavik and elsewhere. The one note that may be important to others -- I don't think there was an elevator, though it's possible we overlooked it since we were just staying on the second floor.

There aren’t many options of places to stay in town. This isn’t a luxury hotel but it served its purpose. We slept well and the continental breakfast was fine. The bathroom was not nice but we managed.

Had some issues during our stay. Front desk clerk seemed indifferent and really did not seem to care. I have the feeling that the owners are only in it to for the money due to high demand for accommodation in the summer, not to be in the hospitality business. Breakfast was very simple, but adequate. Rooms and hotel in general feel very worn and dated, again, I think the owners are in it for the money. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom very cramped with tiny sink. Not in the most pleasant location but convenient to the small town. Would only stay here if no other suitable options are available.

A good basic hotel. I don't think there is an elevator in case that is an issue for any guests. It was not a problem for us. The included breakfast was OK. The hotel had a back deck with a hot tub and fire pit. Neither of them were in use while we were at the hotel. Rooms were very clean and reasonably quite. It was nice to have windows that open. The town around the hotel is small enough to walk everywhere. There are several eating options and a small supermarket. Would stay here again next time we are in the area.

Conveniently situation hotel in the harbour. We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel after reading previous reviews. We were met by friendly staff at reception. Room was large and clean. The rooms seem like they have been recently refurbished. The hotub was an added bonus.

Pricey hotel for no reason. The rooms and halls could seriously use an update. The entire place just looks outdated and generally not clean. The sheets and blankets also looked worn out and the floor was all scratched from moving the beds together and apart constantly (they have twin beds that get put together or apart). I did not have the breakfast buffet since it was not included in the already high price.

We saw no staff at all (keys were left at desk with our name, and it was about 6 pm). There was no staff in the morning, and no breakfast or buffet to choose. There is no elevator, so be prepared to walk up stairs with your luggage, possibly to a third floor. The eooms were clean.

The property is very old... The staff was talking on phone all the time when we check-in which shows no hospitality. We booked a room with double bed. However, we were given a room with two single beds and even worse, the lock is not working at all!! Not to mention that there is half bottle of cold water remaining in the boiler which seemed to us that they didn't do the cleaning. We asked for a double room (i.e. what we have booked at Expedia) at the reception desk. The receptionist was again talking on phone and being impolite by throwing us the key for another room. As the room given was still disappointing, we turned out checking out and spent extra sum for another hotel! I am very disappointed with this experience and i definitely recommend you not to spend a penny there!
