Stayed here for one night when our flight got cancelled. It was an amazing stay. The two guys who worked at the front desk were really nice and accommodating. They got everyone in in a timely manner (there were lots of people) and were kind even when people were disrespectful. They brought us food even though it was very late. They went above and beyond for everyone who stayed here. If I come back to Iceland again I would for sure stay here!! The room was clean, warm, and comfy!

I'm giving 3.5 points to the male receptionist for his excellent service. He was always proactive in asking if I needed help when he saw I had a problem. When my room's heating wasn't working, even though he was busy, he first sent a colleague to check it out (though that person was pretty dismissive, just telling me to wait and that it would heat up soon 🙄). As soon as he was done with his other tasks, he came over with a toolbox to fix it himself. He even repeatedly apologized for the issue, which was very gentlemanly of him. On the other hand, the female receptionist was very perfunctory; she even forgot to give me the entrance code when I checked in, leaving me to freeze outside for quite a while.

Booked a fly and drive in iceland
and this was our hotel on the 25th of december.
For some reason our booking agency canceled our reservation so we would not have a room on the first day of christmas.
But the owner helped us anyway,and gave us a room! What a Chad!

Rooms are decent,and the bathroom was great.
Breakfast was also really good.

Great hotel. Clean . Helpful Staff. It's a 20 minute walk to town food area. Rooms comfortable. Northern Lights view from the hotel property if they are active.

Basic rooms with an excellent shower and comfy beds. We missed dinner but believe it was excellent as well. Decent spread for breakfast. No cappuccino machine. But have coffee. Excellent stop over to the north. Special mention to Mario at the reception who made an extra effort and very hospitable. Will def stop over again, when we come next to iceland.

Very nice crafty exhibits that you walk through. One, interactive on the history of Iceland and one on a particularly gruesome saga. Both interesting and fun. Nice little gift shop. Okay small restaurant upstairs. Worth the visit.

06.01.2018 Alicia

Beautiful inside with the rocks being visible in the building. The soup was delicious! And the staff very nice.

06.01.2018 Konstantina

It was really nice. It seems to be your only choice on a winter afternoon, but it turns out to be a good one as well. We have really enjoyed our lunch there

05.01.2018 Henrietta

Great place for lunch. They have a vegetarian buffet, and have some menu options that can be made vegan. I had a vegan burger which was very satisfying. They have soy or dairy milk for coffee. The restaurant is large, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. It's also very close to the water, we went for a nice after meal walk to take in the views.

01.01.2018 Sandra

The best fish soup I’ve ever had! The burger was also very good.
The place cosy, nice and clean. Staff was very friendly and professional. It’s a nice combination of restaurant and museum/gift shop. It’s totally worth to visit. Thank you for such a nice experience!
