"Nice hotel that was conveniently located to a couple activities I was doing. The three hot tubs and sauna directly tied to the cold water lagoon are fantastic. The problem with this hotel as I found that the front desk staff were patiently disinterested when I arrived. With the largest issue is that there is nowhere else to eat in the vicinity and the hotel charges exorbitant amount for drinks and meals. We had the tasting menu and together with 2 glasses of wine the price tag was near 400 CDN. The service staff in the restaurant were plate, attentive, and efficient. The food at best, average, but way overvalued. You are clearly paying extra for the view and the hotel’s belief that is a high end resort. The poor bartender on the main floor was completely overwhelmed and we had to wait 15 minutes for drinks. Well other staff stood on the stairs talking. The next night I stayed in an another hotel not too far away in a town. The food was significantly better than the total stay was less than half of when I paid to stay indeed here. This simply isn’t good value and I would recommend that guests to the area look elsewhere"
"Great hotel stay along the ring road! Staff was nice, helped me fill my camelbacks, breakfast was good and filling, and the room was cozy. No complaints! "
"The apartment was perfect for our group of five. It was situated in a great place for visiting the glacier lagoons, Hofn, and Skaftafell National Park. The living area was comfortable for our group. Great stay!"
"On arrival (26/04) we were greated by a lovely lady, she was helpful and changed our room to two single beds instead of a double bed, that was a life saver. (Parking was easy too and plenty of spaces)
Room was SUPER clean and everything you could need there. Tea and coffee facilities was brilliant. The beds were extremely comfortable and the view was our of this world. Shower had shampoo, conditioner and body wash that smelled amazing and the shower was very powerful!
The only "criticism" I have about the room is the kettle placement, we had to use the bathroom plug to boil it as the closest plug to the desk was too far away.
Breakfast was good, plenty of bread and crackers available, cheese, ham and fruits etc, cereal and hot food (beans, egg, bacon and small sausags). The only "criticism" I have if I was being very very fussy about breakfast was that there wasn't a lot of yoghurt selection to choose from, there was only one yoghurt choice.
All in all, brilliant location to stop between Höfn and Vik, clean room and hotel overall, friendly staff and would definitely visit again."
"Quirky little guest house. Staff was helpful. Parking adequate. Very remote area so if you need groceries or ice, make sure you are prepared in advance. Breakfast was a typical Icelandic spread( sliced cheese, meat, veggies, fruit and porridge/cereal). Very remote… no TV or fridge
"
"PERFECT get-away for our first family vacation to Iceland. The views from our adorable cabin were amazing, and the staff was helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend! "
