Great location, free parking, friendly staff.
Breakfast was excellent- lots of choices and everything fresh.
The room was very clean, perfect size with bay views.
We were offered 10% discount on a whale tour which we gladly used.
The hotel is within walking distance from city centre, but at the same time is on a quiet street overlooking the bay.

Cute and charming little hotel with clean rooms and a convenient location for exploring town on foot.

Poor value for money
We arrived for check in and given a very comfortable, clean but basic room. Parking was just outside. Only a minor downside, as you will be aware hotels are not good value for money in Iceland, but all the TVs were being upgraded so the current ones didn’t work. For £243 per night for a travel lodge type room, everything should be working. The staff member tried to turn it on even though she said they were all not functioning, which made no sense at all. The best part was the whale watching.

This hotel is very bad, expensive, not worth it, strongly recommend to avoid it: 1. The sound insulation is very poor. 2. The breakfast is all cold food, not a single hot one. 3. The service is particularly bad, there is no shower gel and shampoo, and when I asked the front desk, they said they were out of stock.

Very good stay and location
27.04.2025 Alex
One of the highlights of our trip to Iceland. The view was amazing, the rooms were fantastic, but Eston was the real gem of our stay. A hotel manager with a passion for the Eurovision Song Contest transformed our stay into a night to remember. My wife and I spent the evening conversing and hearing his stories while we ate delicious lamb soup and drank fun themed cocktails. He also gave us all the info we needed to make the most out of our short time in Húsavík. A definite must visit for anyone who is a Eurovision fan, or has seen the Netflix movie. 10/10 would recommend to anyone passing through.

The accommodation is located right in front of the port of Husavik and is in a quiet and peaceful location. When we arrived, the hotel was unmanned, but there was a message for us at the front desk and a key, so we were able to go straight to our room. The room was warm and simple with a bed, a small table, and a closet. It would have been nice to have a small fridge to store drinks or skir, but it didn't really matter because it was winter.

The only minor problem was with the other guests in the room we were staying in. They were drinking and making loud noises until the early hours of the morning, which made it a bit difficult for my husband and I to get some rest. It would be nice if there were instructions throughout the hotel to be quiet for other passengers after a certain time.

Overall, though, it was good. I would like to visit again in the summer.

We spent 2 nights here and wish we could have spent more! Very charming town! Hotel was very welcoming, clean, comfortable, and intimate. They have discount codes for whale watching and the geothermal spa, both of which I recommend!

If the sky is clear and the aurora forecast is good, you can see the northern lights right outside the main entrance.

My friends and I stayed one night here when we were in Husavik for whale watching. I wish we stayed longer! I honestly can’t remember the last time I ever slept so well. Very comfortable warm beds and quiet atmosphere. Felt very welcome, chocolates on the bed, welcome notes, and nice breakfast spread in the morning. Dining area with beautiful old book collections. Would 100% recommend!
