Tyst, och fina omgivningar. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Bra frukost, för att vara ett isländskt hotell. Sköna sängar. Hade även möjlighet att äta middag, fast vi valde aannan restaurang pga av tidsbesparing.

The host kept the kitchen open because we got in so late. Very much appreciated. The room was tiny as was the bathroom, but it was only for one night. Room was quiet and very clean. Comfortable bed.

Interesting property that was once a boarding school. Was there in the off-season and there were no dining options available. There is a very rustic restaurant about 10 miles North of this property. The only other option was the town of Hick 25 miles Southwest. If you were traveling to Northern or eastern Iceland, it’s wise not to let you fuel get below half a tank and keep some extra food in the car in case you find yourself in a village where everything is closed at 6 PM. Iceland is GORGEOUS and the people are lovely, but there are much fewer options in the remote areas for fuel and food.

Very friendly staff. We had an early whale watching trip one of the mornings and the staff let us into the breakfast bar early so we could have breakfast and still make it to the boat in time.

A great basic hotel with extraordinary staff

We loved the staff; every one of them was extremely helpful and friendly. They made sure we are missing nothing at breakfast, had nice little chats with us, and even let us use the staff washing machine. The hotel is quite in the middle of nowhere, but has good breakfast, and you can drive 10 minutes to the grocery store at Ásbyrgi. The 35-minute drive from the hotel to Húsavík is beautiful with majestic beach cliffs.

Nice stay at an unusual past - old school house. Great service, great host with sharing her life and culture of the area. We saw Northern lights in this area! Fantastic!!

I will absolutely recommend this hotel to my friends, nice and quiet rooms, aesthetically furnished space for breakfast, reception and lounge. I guess it’s been renewed not so long ago. Photos online doesn’t look that good as it is in reality. We enjoyed our stay. View from the window also was great (expect plastic bad with garbage haha), but well yes, all was good.

Das Hotel ist nicht direkt schlecht, aber es hat ein sehr schlechtes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Das Zimmer ist klein, hat weder ein Bild an der Wand noch einen Fernseher, noch nicht mal Trink- oder Zahnputzgläser. Dafür haben wir über 34 000 Kronen bezahlt, das sind knapp 240 Euro, und das ohne Frühstück! Das war das mit Abstand schlechteste Hotel in Island, das wir hatten

Eher ein Hostel. Kein service. Abendessen war nicht möglich und in weiter Umgebung auch nicht. Frühstück sehr spartanisch und übersichtlich. Man soll selber den Tisch abräumen. In den Zimmern wäre ein Frühlingsputz überfällig

Buena estancia

La habitación es amplia y con lavabo. Incluía desayuno y no estaba mal. Básico. La cocina se encuentra en las afueras del hostel, en una cochera donde hace mucho frio y si pones el radiador saltan los plomos. Todo lo demás bien. Había té y café gratis en el comedor del desayuno.
