10/10 Exceptional

We arrived late, about 9:45 pm, and they made sure to wait for us, got us taken care of quickly and showed us to our room. The included breakfast was a decent variety and got us going in the morning. It was a short stay but enjoyable and we would definitely stay there again.
Kari, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place! Amazing views.
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location on the water was beautiful and relaxing and a quick drive over to puffin island! Breakfast provided was able to cater to just about anyone’s dietary restrictions.
Carol, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The area is rather remote but the ideal place to see puffins up close -- literally at your feet from the viewing platform that the town has built next to the puffin nesting area. The breakfast and dinner at the hotel were very tasty!
Margaret, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's cozy, room was nothing too special but totally fine for 4 of us (we had the room with 5 twin beds). We enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was pretty good and included. I had read another review where someone said they ran out of food by 8:30 (it's served 6-9) but there seemed to be a lot of guests when we stayed (parking lot completely full) and yet plenty of breakfast. I arrived to breakfast at 8:30, my wife and kids actually got there by 8:55 and the staff was kind and let them eat too. Great stay.
Ryan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice place to spend the nice with good breakfast.
Jason, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Just OK

The place was fine, however we did not receive the room type that we had booked. Also when we arrived to the room, one of the beds was not made, and the comforter was just crumpled up on top of the bed which made us wonder if the room had been cleaned at all before we arrived. The manager/owner did give us some money back the next day, so that was nice. Breakfast was ok. Location was excellent, really close to the harbor where you see the puffins, which is why we stayed there.
Craig, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very friendly. The guy who checked us in was very welcoming. Room was clean. Bed was pretty flat/thin. Not too comfy. Location only 9 mins away from puffin marina. Which is the reason we chose this place. Breakfast is included. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

We got in after hours. Mike left us a note & key at reception. Coffee was good with milk alternatives. Continental breakfast was great with local options. Parking right outside our room.

Great location, tucked in the valley, and situated in a quaint town. Close proximity to puffin colony was a bonus!
Jillian, 1-night trip

It was wonderful having our own bathroom at this hotel, and the breakfast was outstanding. We would stay here again.

Nice lace to stay with good breakfast

10/10 Exceptional

Really loved the buffet dinner we had. It’s the best meal we have had during our entire stay (15 days) at Iceland. This country style hotel is a gem. We enjoyed our stay tremendously.
Fang, 1-night trip

Great property! Super friendly staff. Yummy dinner with local food. Excellent breakfast included. Great location on the water near puffins.
Trisha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The check in went well and we took the front desk clerk’s recommendation and visited the pub down the street before they closed for the night after we checked in. It was a unique place and we tried some local spirits.
Nancy, 1-night trip

Was quite close to the puffin viewing area. Wished we would have booked two nights. Nice quiet area. Nice breakfast.
