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