This hotel was a great find. It has clean and well-kept rooms with Smart TVs and an excellent breakfast. Their on-site café stays open until 9:30 PM, which is very convenient. We had a fantastic stay here, and the location is ideal for exploring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula without needing to drive from Reykjavík.

The room was nice and the staff was very kind. The bed was also comfortable.
Only major downside to the hotel room was that it was not possible to lower the floor heating temperature in our room (Jokkul), which means it can get uncomfortably hot during a warmer summer day. It was also difficult to open the sliding door to the bathroom, as it got stuck.

Hotel staff is very friendly and showed us our room. The restaurant food was excellent. The only complaints was our room doesn’t have ventilation. We need to open the door to sleep.

extremely friendly and helpful staffs, very welcoming, they showed us the room and briefed us about the functions when they gave us the key. The heat was coming from the floor so it may take a while to heat up but all is well, we had a nice sleep and very lovely breakfast as well. Highly recommended this hotel if you are around this area to explore the Snæfellsjökull national park.

The staff was exceptionally friendly. Room was very tidy and the bed was like a cloud compared to the place we came from. The baked goods from the cafe were delicious. The wind was quite fast the night we stayed and you could hear it in the vent in the bathroom but shutting the door did a good enough job to quiet it down a good bit. Would stay here again if I had the chance
