Categories

Cleanliness
8.8
Multiple reviews explicitly praise the cleanliness and upkeep of the property (e.g. 'propreté de l'établissement', 'مكان נקי ויפה', 'modern gepflegt und sauber'), so cleanliness is rated above average despite isolated concerns about restaurant hygiene reported separately.
Service
9.2
Service is consistently mentioned positively across reviews ('friendly staff', 'very pleasant receptionist', 'Personnel sympathique', 'Staff lovely and very friendly'), justifying a high score.
Location
9.6
Location is a major strength in many reviews: scenic fjord setting, small fishing village charm, central position and ambience (tunnel approach), so location scores very highly.
Room Quality
8.2
Rooms are frequently described as spacious, comfortable and modern, but there are repeated remarks about hard pillows, some old furniture, noisy doors and unrenovated bathrooms — overall slightly above average.
Amenities
7.8
Amenities are mixed: attached restaurant and good breakfast praised, but limits noted (shared bathrooms for some rooms, TV room relocated to restaurant, pricey washing machine, limited vegetarian options), leading to a modest score.
Value for Money
8.7
Several guests mention good value for money and reasonable restaurant prices for Iceland; one comment mentions it felt 'actually too expensive' but generally value is positive.
Food and Beverage
6.5
Food gets conflicting feedback: many praise the breakfast and the fish-specialty restaurant as good and affordable, but there is a serious negative report of suspected foodborne illness and other complaints (limited vegetarian options, noisy dining area), so this category is downgraded.
Overall Experience
9.2
Overall impressions are very positive: relaxing, cosy, friendly staff, great location and good breakfast/restaurants nearby. Minor negatives (shared bathrooms, occasional noise, pillow comfort) do not dominate the overall experience.

Pros:

Det låg mitt i byn med en restaurang/frukostservering tvärs över gatan. Personalen var trevlig och hjälpsam.

Logement
Pros:

La situation géographique au "bout du monde"
Le petit déjeuner complet inclus
La taille de la chambre très grande pour deux
Possibilité de dîner sur place un fish & chips

Cons:

Il n’y a qu’une salle d’eau avec wc dans la même pièce pour au moins 6 chambres.
Un peu trop juste aux "heures de pointes"

Pros:

La camera è’ ampia e comoda . Il paesino è piccolo , ma caratteristico , poco turistico !! Al primo impatto siamo stati un po’ delusi perché nel paesino aleggiava un forte odore di pesce . La struttura esternamente non è molto carina , ma la camera è dotata di tutto . Abbiamo cenato nel loro ristorante, dove viene anche servita la colazione . Abbiamo mangiato molto bene , personale giovane e gentile . Cibo curato . Prezzo in linea con i ristoranti islandesi nel nord . Nel complesso mi è piaciuto !!!!

Unangenehme Überraschungen
Pros:

Die Betten waren gut und das Frühstück auch.

Cons:

Es gab kein Badezimmer in den Räumen sondern ein Gemeinschaftsbad pro Stockwerk. Somit mussten sich 10-12 Personen eine Toilette und eine Dusche teilen. Das kann in einem Hostel der Fall sein aber ganz sicher nicht in einem Hotel und vor allem nicht bei diesem Preis. Außerdem war am Morgen eine Katze im Bad, die sich auch nicht verscheuchen ließ. Für jemanden der eine Katzenallergie hat wäre das sicher eine noch unangenehmere Überraschung als für uns.

Overall, I like it and will recommend it to my friends and family.
Pros:

Clean, comfort and quiet.

Cons:

I think they didn’t clean the shower because there was an empty shampoo sachet left on the shower room.

Pros:

L'albergo e le camere sono nuove e ben mantenute, moderne e davvero carine. Anche il bagno in comune è in buone condizioni e spazioso. Lo staff è gentile e disponibile. La colazione è buona e discretamente varia. Ottima posizione.

Cons:

Mi aspettavo di trovare il pesce (salmone) a colazione come da foto. Purtroppo le mie aspettative non sono state soddisfatte.

Pros:

Essen im Restaurant war gut, Portion dürfte etwas grösser sein. Sonst alles Durchschnitt.

Cons:

Schimmel mit Bad, riecht sehr muffig, da nützt auch der Duftdiffuser, der aus dem Grund dort hingestellt wurde, wenig. Hellhörig, da über dem Restaurant. WLAN instabil. Personal okay, beim Restaurantbesuch wartet man lange, um zu bestellen. Muss man wohl an der Bar tun - sagt einem aber keiner. Kaffee beim Frühstück mässig trinkbar. Einfallslose Türcodes, da fühlt man sich nicht sicher (im Ernst so einfach?!).
