Location
Dalakot Hotel is located at 465M+XR5, Dalbraut in Budardalur, Iceland. It lies 109 km from Reykjavik Domestic Airport (RKV), making it accessible for travelers heading towards the West Fjords or the Snæfellsjökull Peninsula. The hotel is next to a supermarket and close to local sights, with easy walking access to a grocery store and town amenities. However, it is positioned near a highway and close to an elementary school, which some guests found affects privacy and noise levels. The beachfront location offers scenic surroundings, though the proximity to the road is noticeable.

- Meet the staff around 8pm or in the morning to pay and receive shower tokens, as access depends on this.

Reviews
The shower I used had a clogged drain and it flooded the room, and I knew other people had this problem because later I saw water splashed everywhere outside the door and wet footprints leading away. There seems to be only one working outlet in the common area as the rest are duct taped over. They also advertise that they have laundry facilities, but again there is confusing writing all over the machines and both the washer and dryer had items in them for the entire time I was here. It looked like maybe bedding for one of the cabins. Either way, the wet sheets stayed balled up in the washer for almost an entire day and no one seemed to come check on them.
There’s a lot of road noise from the highway and very little privacy here. The staff were friendly but I saw some practices I didn’t agree with - like filling a cleaning bottle with generic handsoap to clean the bathrooms. As 2000ISK is on average what you pay to camp in Iceland it wasn’t worth it, I stayed in Hellisandur for the same price and that place was great. I’d recommend elsewhere in the area.
