Pros:

Rooms are small, but the community kitchen was nice and it was located near local restaurants. The views around this area of the mountains and waterfalls is stunning!!

Pros:

This property is located in a quiet place. We drove into a parking lot labelled with the name only to discover that registration was half a block back. Other guests helped direct us where to go. The hotel looked liked it needed a coat of paint but inside it was a spacious set of rooms. Good amenities (tea, coffee, small refrigerator, separate sitting room, lots of outlets to charge electronics, many hooks to hang damp things, good closet space). The bathroom was small and dated but well appointed. Clean and comfortable.

Three restaurants are available - one tilted towards Icelandic food (so we were told) - one for burgers and pub food, and another towards pizza and Italian. We enjoyed a lovely pub dinner.

This is a port town - tourist ships dock. There is one grocery facility filled with souvenirs and food items.

Pros:

The room is sufficient for laying your head down but is much too tiny without enough room to open luggage. It is clean and has a cute communal kitchen but should be advertised as a rooming house or hostel in my opinion.

Pros:

The hotel is located in a cute lake town. The building used to be a post office that turned into hotel. Based on the pictures provided by Expedia, I chose the least expensive room as I couldn't see much difference between the rooms. That was a mistake. We couldn't fit our suitcase in the room. We felt as if we were sleeping in a closet. The room was very clean and basically was sufficient enough for one night. We had a great dinner across the street in a restaurant that belongs to the same owner.

Pros:

Right next to the water. The town is quiet but very beautiful. Their buildings may look old on the outside but they’re definitely clean and well-maintained inside. Their restaurant serves very good food.

Pros:

Only one night in Seydisfjordur, but I would love to come back to this hotel! Beautiful room in an older but well maintained building. I enjoyed the kitchen facilities for preparing snacks, lunch, coffee etc.

Pros:

Convenient but teeny tiny room. Check in was confusing. They should have told you to go to the restaurant. Again with the late check ins. What’s up with that. Should be no later than 3pm.

Pros:

City is beautiful, room was tooooo small, it had only bed in it, everything was clean, no complain on that side.
Terrible communication with hotel, they are not responding to send messages.
There is no reception, no one whom you can talk, there was only kitchen, we wanted to add breakfast, but HOW, no one's around for communicating. Also no option for eating in the WHOLE city after 9 pm, all kitchen's are closed even at FRIDAY!!
No option to change charged credit card on the site, I had to call directly and they charged another amount, 12 euros more than site gives (will try to figure this one out)
Overall not pleased

Pros:

A very small room with creaky floors. Cute, but you feel like you're in a hostel. We had our own bathroom, but the walls are very thin and just enough room for two single beds.

Pros:

The room was compact, cosy and clean. It had a proper double bed, not 2 singles pushed up together, there was a eating area where residents could eat their own food, a lounge area with comfortable seats and a fantastic breakfast that was served in the nearby hotel.

Pros:

I stayed here for a short trip and was overall satisfied with the experience. The self-service check-in was quick and easy, which I really appreciated after a long day of travel. The room itself was very clean, modern, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

The only real downside was the lack of elevator access in some parts of the building. I had a large suitcase, and carrying it up the stairs to my room was definitely a struggle. This could be a challenge for guests with heavier bags or mobility concerns.

Other than that, the hotel was quiet, well-maintained, and a great value for the price. I'd consider staying again, but I'd try to pack a little lighter next time!
