Basically a bare bones room - but a good size room with lots of storage area. The room was very clean but the march to the room from the parking lot is a bit of a hike (slightly uphill). Not easy for handicapped people.

This was the best hotel in our entire stay in Iceland. The little wooden building with our room was kind of rudimental simplistic from the outside but very nicely equipped and comfortable. The view from the large floor to ceiling window was astonishingly beautiful. The restaurant was also nice, and they served good traditional Icelandic food too. I would recommend this hotel to any of my friends. I would like to go back sometimes hopefully in the near future. :)

This hotel is a little gem situated in a naturally beautiful part of Iceland. Walking distance from the hotel one finds themselves surrounded by the ocean, volcanic cliffs, birds, mountains and Waterfalls. Jump in the can and explore even more, and if you have a 4X4 take the F-Roads up toward the glacier and see the natural marvels this area offers. There is weather, so pack or wear protection against rain and wind — but this is Iceland, so you are proibably already equipped.

Good in the end 😀

Rather strange place. Long way to walk in the snow to my room even though Hotel was not busy. Check in even though I was there before 2200 hrs the reception was closed and I had difficulty contacting anyone. Did not get an email regarding the key box code. However room was ok. Clean and comfortable. Breakfast expensive though the staff were very nice and helpful. ( from Ukraine)

Stayed for one night. Great location for glacier climb and whale watching on north side of peninsula. Clean room- very small for three beds. Almost no place to put luggage. Lav. water cold which seemed odd (shower is warm). Wished that breakfast options had opened earlier with more take away options (expensive buffet was only option). Nice minimal modern design in the landscape.

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.

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.
