Very nice stay here, staff were super nice. We didnt have the evening meal, but they did offer several options. Breakfast was basic, however staff had other options to add upon request, (scramble some eggs etc)without extra cost as well which was nice!

Kokonaisuus hyvä

Hotelli oli puhdas ja henkilökunta oli avuliasta ja hyväntuulista. Hotelli kuitenkin haisi vanhalle kellarille, se oli ainoa miinus. Söimme illallista, joka oli erittäin maukasta! Myös aamiainen oli hyvä. Kannattaa katsoa hotellinpitäjien instagram, siellä kivaa lisätietoa heidän projektistaan. Ei mikään luksushotelli, mutta yhden yön vierailuun sopiva maaseutuhotelli.

Extrem schlechtes Wifi sollte mal geprüft oder neugemacht werden, und das in einer Gegend wo es nur mobile 3G gibt. Frühstücksbüffet minimalistisch und etwas amateurhaft. Gesamtwertung gerade so okay, ohne mehr.

We would not stay here again! You should find another place to stay. We booked a queen bed with a private bathroom and an ocean view. We got there and the check-in is very slow, the building is very dated, there is a very musty smell and we were given two twin beds with a private bathroom in a basement with a 15 inch window that looked at the grass. They switched us to twin beds with a shared bathroom. This was much nicer, but not what we had booked. The breakfast was very sparse. The drive out to this hotel was really inconvenient. We would find a different place to stay. This place reminded us of a building from a horror movie.

Great stop if you’re driving the ring road and don’t want to do Reykjavik to Akureyri in 1 day! We were the first to arrive for the night so we were a little worried because it didn’t look open from the road but once inside, it’s clean, cozy and the views are great—Open/dark skies for northern lights viewing close to a beautiful black sand beach! Would definitely stay again!

Just a few minutes away from the hvitserkur, perfect to see it first thing in the morning. The breakfast was really good, try the waffles! The staff was sweet and accomodating (we arrive in the middle of the night due to a snow storm, they left the key for us at the reception) Bonus point for the cute islandic blanket over the bed, keeping us really warm, even with the snow storm outside ^-^
