Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit

Cons:

Preis Leistung stimmt hier leider gar nicht. Das Bad ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und das Frühstück war auch etwas lieblos. Das Personal war super freundlich aber man könnte schon besseren Schinken und besseres Brot anbieten und zum Beispiel Skyr. Der Preis ist für die Qualität leider einfach zu hoch.

Sauber, gutes Essen, kleines Bad
Pros:

Nettes hilfsbereites Personal an der Rezeption und im Restaurant. Zimmer ruhig. Gutes Frühstück Essen im Restaurant sehr gut.

Cons:

Bad klein, Waschbecken klein, Dusche mit Vorhang, was auf der einen Seite für mehr Bewegungsfreiheit sorgt aber auf der anderen Seite leider auch dazu neigt sich am Körper anzuheften.

Friendly staff, good value, a bit worn out interior.
Pros:

Easy check-in, friendly staff. Good breakfast, tasty, yet a bit cold scrambled eggs. Excellent bed and pillows, slept well.

Cons:

It is a bit worn out. Voices easily heard from the corridors, but not much noice anyway.

A lovely, characterful stop on the Ring Road with genuinely warm hospitality.
Pros:

A really warm and welcoming hotel with a fantastic restaurant — if you’re there on a Sunday or Monday, the pizza night is a must. Location is excellent; close to the Reindeer Park (highly recommend) and around 30 minutes from Seyðisfjörður, which is absolutely worth the trip. The staff went above and beyond — as someone who needed refrigerated medication, they were more than happy to store it in the hotel fridge, along with some groceries we’d picked up along the way. That kind of thoughtfulness makes a real difference when you’re mid-road-trip.

Cons:

The twin room was surprisingly small for two people — manageable for a night but worth bearing in mind if you’re planning a longer stay. No fridge in the room, though this seems fairly standard for Icelandic hotels.

Cons:

Það var mjög vond lykt þegar ég kom inn í herbergið og mjög kalt. Vaskurinn á baðinu er með sprungum í, líka flísar við sturtuna, mjög kalt baðherbergisgólfið og engin baðmotta. Þurfti að setja ofninn á hæstu stillingu til þess að fá smá hita í þetta litla herbergi. Greinilega hefur orðið raka skemmd á baðinu því hurðakarmurinn farinn að morkna.
