Reviews
It is true i had been camping the last week before that but, the rooms are warm, there is a kettle and some coffee and tea, maybe the shower would be great to have like a door of glass and not a curtain.
The breakfast was out of this world as you can imagine by the pictures.
Overall the room could not have been better and the service was on point.
All the tourist attractions are nearby and the town feels lovely with the views upon the sea.
I would without a doubt repeat a stay here for sure.
I forgot the name of the bartender. He just started here two weeks ago and came from Poland. Definitely a keeper. I would hire him if I had a restaurant. He gave a great guest experience and knew what hospitality means
But let me go back to the staff... Because we were there four nights, we had a wonderful opportunity to connect with the staff, many of whom had just arrived to start their season. We experienced exceptional hospitality from Anne, Dora, Hubert and Sam, among others. These four wonderful humans were so gracious and went above and beyond to make sure our time there was enjoyable and comfortable. Super special shout-out to Anne who helped us repeatedly with weather and road conditions and recommendations for adventures. In fact, it was sad when we checked out the morning of our departure and had to say goodbye. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It was the perfect place to call home for four days in beautiful Patreksfjörður!
