Not a very friendly front desk staff, their free WiFi sucks, doesn’t work in rooms, works only near front desk. We had booked two rooms for two couples and they provided single beds that too in different directions.

The bathrooms were a little old and very tiny, and the water smelled bad and rotten. Front desk and restaurant staff were pretty good.

The rooms were very dingy. The bathroom was deplorable. No elevators and no one to help if you have to haul your luggage. Breakfast was disappointing. Dinner was overpriced. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I should have looked at the Google rating (which is around 3) and it is correctly so.

A good place, but no ADA access.
First, you cannot phone the front desk, even when the system gives you the option of English, you cannot figure out a way to reach the hotel desk. And I needed to owing to a problem at the airport. Second, there is no ramp up to the lobby, so if you have heavy bags or ADA needs, this hotel is not for you. However, the breakfast is good, and loved the Smart TV. Room was nice and shower terrific.

Great stay in a little town.
Got caught here during a snow storm and they easily accommodated an extension. The rooms are big although we had to fully get everything out of the room so that they could clean. Breakfast was great. Decor was dated, but that would be my only minor complaint. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Small town, not much to do except for the baths and puffins (which we couldn’t see because the road was closed).

Firstly I’d like to thank the wonderful staff at this hotel for the lovely birthday surprise for my Fiancé when we arrived, you went above and beyond! The lady that checked us in was lovely, helpful and we didn’t have to wait long. Room was on the smaller side but had everything we needed for 1 night on our road trip - clean and comfortable. Breakfast was basic (same as most in Iceland) but plenty to fill you up and constantly replenished. Good location, lovely pizzeria and brewery a short walk away. Ample walking. Would stay again, thank you!
