I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and featured charming Viking-style decorations, although they felt a bit cramped. The service was exceptional, especially with the manager going out of their way to fix a reservation issue. The location was wonderful, right by the beautiful waterfront. The dining experience was decent, with a few Icelandic specials but could have had more warm options. Overall, a great value for money with some minor downsides.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a unique feature with bunk beds, but there was no wardrobe to put clothes away, and the view of the rocks outside the window was interesting. The service was a bit hit or miss due to a mistake with my reservation, but the manager was exceptional in assisting with our trips. The location was isolated but scenic, and the dining, despite some specialties, lacked warm options. However, the miso soup was a standout. Overall, it was an average stay with some notable highlights and drawbacks.

The hotel was a mixed experience with some highlights but also a few drawbacks. The rooms, though not entirely matching the pictures, had a unique Viking style decoration and were a cozy blend of a double bed and a single bunk. The service, particularly from the manager who assisted with trip arrangements and a date change request, was a bit inconsistent due to errors with reservations, but efforts were made to rectify mistakes. The location by the picturesque harbor offered a peaceful escape but was isolated from other attractions, yet with easy access to tours on the island. The dining experience, with notable Icelandic specials like salmon but lacking in vegetable options, had its highs and lows. The facilities provided were suitable for a comfortable stay, though there were some discrepancies in pricing and value for money.
The hotel offers a unique viking style decoration in rooms with exceptionally comfortable beds and excellent showers. The spectacular view across the harbor adds to the charm. While the dining selection lacks Icelandic specials and warm options, the gluten-free dishes are a standout feature. The helpful service, especially the support from the manager for trip planning, makes for a memorable stay. However, the restaurant can get overcrowded with tour groups, and the area is relatively isolated from public offerings.
The hotel offers stunning Viking-style rooms with beautiful views across the harbor. The rooms are spacious but minimally designed, capturing the essence of the area. The service, especially from the helpful manager, was exceptional in accommodating our requests and ensuring our trips were sorted. The location is unbeatable, located right in the heart of the village by the beautiful waterfront. The dining experience, featuring delicious Icelandic specials with a focus on fish dishes, was a culinary delight. The facilities provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay, making it a great value for money choice.
