Clean, safe, quiet stay. Check in was efficient and easy. Nice restaurant, helpful staff.
This hotel is right on the ocean and a great walkway with fantastic sights. There is a restaurant attached and a few others across the street (but might not be open). Advice: Bring food/snacks with you because of limited shops and restaurants. The hotel looks like container pods. Ours had four separate rooms. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The shower is heated via solar, so there is limited hot water. The wifi was great as was TV reception. The bed was basic with one pillow each. No washcloths. This was a perfectly adequate and comfortable place to stay for one night.
Our triple room was clean, comfortable, a standard hotel room for 3 people. Mini fridge, coffee/tea supplied. Shower was excellent. Housekeeping staff friendly and helpful. The only amenities the hotel has is a restaurant. The service was not great. Food dropped off then didn’t return to table. Food very sub par and every order was messed up in one way or another. Ordered fish and chips, fish raw and cold inside. Location was good for base. Other eating choices nearby.
You can't beat the location - perfectly situated allowing direct access to walk the cliff tops and view the beauty of the Icelandic coast below and a good point to split the trip if seeing the West end. The room was nice enough and the huge window facing the sea was nice but it would be have been better if the adjoining restaurant shut off their rear exterior lights so you could appreciate the view at night. The restaurant experience wasn't great - found the staff cold and the food bland but options are limited out there. Overall the hotel was a good place and recommended.
Smooth check in and good restaurant. Standard room is a bit small and not much space for big luggage. it’s a good location and it works to stay for the night as there is not much option.
This is an especially easy hotel and very nice and simple rooms. The area is stunning and close to the national park too. I can’t wait to go back!

nice room, clean quiet, parking is good, restaurant is good but a bit pricy.
we had view of mountain which was amazing
The area by this hotel is amazing. It was clean and nice, though on the smaller side. Hot water is limited but shouldn’t be an issue if you take quick showers.
Loved our stay here. The property was clean and modern. The exterior access to the rooms was unique. A couple nice dining options. Direct access to hiking was very convenient.
Hotel is next to the shore so if it's a nice day, you can walk and the view will be amazing but if it's raining, have in mind that the walk to your room is open space (no roof). Btw, the apple map drives you further, the hotel reception is at the restaurant.

Great location, walking distance to several sightseeing places. For check in, we had to wait a bit as the staff also work at the restaurant . The room is clean, a bit small for 3 people. There is limitation on hot water usage which is understandable.
