Reviews
Every other accommodation on our trip showed compassion and worked with us under the circumstances. Hotel Odinsve was the only hotel that did not. Despite clearly explaining the emergency, they hid behind a “non-refundable” policy, offered only a partial refund, and ultimately ignored further communication altogether.
The lack of empathy was shocking, especially during the holiday season. Being forced to choose between attending a family emergency and losing a significant amount of money is not something any guest should experience. Hospitality is about more than policies; it’s about people, and this hotel showed none of that.
I would strongly caution anyone booking here to consider how they might be treated if life takes an unexpected turn.
Service staff were helpful and pleasant.
The room I stayed in was quite small. I did not quite like the layout of the room. The TV was in an odd location too. The lighting in the room could be improved. There were stains on the toilet mirror, felt that these should be changed as it gives the impression that the toilet isn’t clean.
Also, they could consider automating the doors and using key cards instead of actual keys.

Cafe and Restaurants near hotel
The place was nice and warm and the ambiance was very pleasant. We ordered the cheese pizza and it was very good. At only stayed for a quick pizza but it would've been nice to go there for dinner.
Good place of you're looking for something familiar.
My only mistake was trying the shark for the first time without asking how they prepare it first. Iy is fermented and has a very sharp taste and smell. Did not enjoy that dish.
As for the rest - was absolutely delicious. The smoked puffin had very unique taste and was the highlight of the dinner.
I ordered whale pepper steak, enjoyed it greatly. We also had halibut amd langoustines which were prepared immaculately!
Did not leave room for dessert :(
