Very good stay
Pros:

We stayed at the Hvitsekur Hotel just overnight. Stuff was so nice, helpful and friendly. I will recomend this hotel for Round Trip in Iceland.

Pros:

We would not stay here again! You should find another place to stay. We booked a queen bed with a private bathroom and an ocean view. We got there and the check-in is very slow, the building is very dated, there is a very musty smell and we were given two twin beds with a private bathroom in a basement with a 15 inch window that looked at the grass. They switched us to twin beds with a shared bathroom. This was much nicer, but not what we had booked. The breakfast was very sparse. The drive out to this hotel was really inconvenient. We would find a different place to stay. This place reminded us of a building from a horror movie.

Velges med omhu.
Pros:

Dette er en nedlagt skole gjort om til hotel. Det er ikke bad på rommene, men felles dusj og toalett i gangen. Maten som serveres er helt gjennomsnittlig. Ja, dette er et 2-stjerners steg, men …. Enkeltsengene er passe myke. Veien ned til hotellet er temmelig dårlig, grusvei med mange skader etter regn.

Pros:

Extrem schlechtes Wifi sollte mal geprüft oder neugemacht werden, und das in einer Gegend wo es nur mobile 3G gibt.

Frühstücksbüffet minimalistisch und etwas amateurhaft.

Gesamtwertung gerade so okay, ohne mehr.

Pros:

With 13 rooms. Only 2 Wc/Shower. One was very small, old, didn't even have proper hooks to hang clothes. Shower didn't drain properly. You were always in 3 " of water from start to finish.

Pros:

The hotel and rooms are very basic but it was still quite pricey although there were hardly any other guests. It seems as though the owners are still only part way through renovating it.

The location is beautiful & very peaceful.

Breakfast was minimal but we had a good dinner the night before about 30 minutes away in Hvammstangi at Sjavarborg restaurant.

Kokonaisuus hyvä
Pros:

Hotelli oli puhdas ja henkilökunta oli avuliasta ja hyväntuulista. Hotelli kuitenkin haisi vanhalle kellarille, se oli ainoa miinus.
Söimme illallista, joka oli erittäin maukasta! Myös aamiainen oli hyvä. Kannattaa katsoa hotellinpitäjien instagram, siellä kivaa lisätietoa heidän projektistaan.
Ei mikään luksushotelli, mutta yhden yön vierailuun sopiva maaseutuhotelli.

Pros:

Very nice stay here, staff were super nice. We didnt have the evening meal, but they did offer several options. Breakfast was basic, however staff had other options to add upon request, (scramble some eggs etc)without extra cost as well which was nice!

Pros:

Great stop if you’re driving the ring road and don’t want to do Reykjavik to Akureyri in 1 day! We were the first to arrive for the night so we were a little worried because it didn’t look open from the road but once inside, it’s clean, cozy and the views are great—Open/dark skies for northern lights viewing close to a beautiful black sand beach! Would definitely stay again!

Pros:

Hôtel au milieu de nulle part, mais proche de l'attraction principale, le rocher Hvitserkur et la plage aux phoques. On avait réservé une chambre avec SDV privative. Celle ci est propre, vaste, mais assez vieillotte, aurait besoin d'un petit rafraichissement. Nous avons dîné le soir de notre arrivée, et le plat de pâtes était excellent. Petit déjeuner varié, produits frais. L'accueil était très sympathique. A recommander.

Pros:

The property was fine to stay for one night but the shower and room were very basic, even for Icelandic standards. It felt and looked like staying in a dormitory.
My biggest complaint was the lack of, essentially no communication when I had sent several messages to the websites and tried calling prior to our arrival and there was no response for days. However the problem did get resolved when arriving a day earlier but it would’ve been nice to have better communication.
