The staff at the front desk is very friendly. The restaurant at the hotel is an excellent option if you want to stay warm and relax at dinner time.
The hotel is clean but needs a few renovations.
Definitely recommend the stay. The hotel is in a very remote and quiet location.

Room was our smallest of the whole trip but really nice and clean. The lobby area is very nice and perfect for relaxing in. Some of the buildings need a coat of paint but interiors are very nice. Scenery around the hotel is very nice.

Amazing stay! The staff was wonderful, especially Eva; she arranged a hotel transfer for us and was a wealth of information about the local area. We were fortunate to see the northern lights, which were easily visible in the parking lot of the hotel. Book this hotel and don’t look back.

We had an ocean view room, great breakfast and dinner option. Room is small with a very small bathroom as well. But very clean.
Great ocean view, it was very quiet and relaxing.

Great views to the sea, both from the room and from the restaurant, wonderfully located between the Snaefellsnes glacier and ocean, calm room, really sympathetic personnel, floor heating in the bathroom, however, rather small room. Good food, especially the cheesecake was great 😊
