The check in went well and we took the front desk clerk’s recommendation and visited the pub down the street before they closed for the night after we checked in. It was a unique place and we tried some local spirits.

Just OK

The place was fine, however we did not receive the room type that we had booked. Also when we arrived to the room, one of the beds was not made, and the comforter was just crumpled up on top of the bed which made us wonder if the room had been cleaned at all before we arrived. The manager/owner did give us some money back the next day, so that was nice. Breakfast was ok. Location was excellent, really close to the harbor where you see the puffins, which is why we stayed there.

Puffins Central!!

Amazing spot to see the Puffins… the staff was wonderful. It was on the pricey side. Our most expensive stop on the Ring Road by far. Very small town, not much there, except an awesome Puffin experience. That’s must be the big price tag… and it was worth it!

A quiet place near the Norwegian Sea. To reach this place is through long and winding road but worth the drive. Breakfast was good and the front desk lady was very accommodating and easy to talk to. There were sheep roaming in front of the property but never seen any getting too close to the accommodation. Must be very nice during summer because it’s a puffin area but during our stay in end of September they are all gone.

Great Stay

The booking confirmation stated that the check in closes at 11pm so I got there at 11 PM but there was a note saying check in closes at 10pm. Not to worry as the hotel left good instructions for me to be able to enter and get to my room. All good and much appreciated. The hotel was quiet, May must be the low season which was fine by me. Room was clean and comfortable, shower worked well and I had a good set of black out curtains which were much needed due to the light nights. Parking was straight outside the hotel and breakfast the next morning was basic but good. The staff member I saw was friendly and polite, and checking out was quick and easy. I got a good deal on this hotel and off the price is right I worked stay again. Recommended.

We arrived late, about 9:45 pm, and they made sure to wait for us, got us taken care of quickly and showed us to our room. The included breakfast was a decent variety and got us going in the morning. It was a short stay but enjoyable and we would definitely stay there again.

Nicht empfehlenswert. Ich war in vielen Unterkünften in Island, aber so ein schlechtes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist mir noch nie untergekommen. 750 Euro (ca. 105.000 ISK) für zwei Nächte auf Jugendherbergsniveau ist frech. Auch bei isländischem Preisniveau. Die Zimmer sind so hellhörig, dass man jedes Geräusch aus Nachbarzimmern und Flur hört. Türenknallen, Husten – alles dringt durch die papierdünnen Wände und die Sperrholz-Tür. Wer kommt auf die Idee, aus so einer Ramsch-Hütte ein Hotel zu machen? Lose Schrauben, klemmende Fenster, klebrige Flecken auf dem Boden, ein wackeliger Tisch und zwei kotfarbene Sessel ergeben ein trauriges Stillleben der Vernachlässigung. Die Waschmaschine vor der Tür läuft bis abends, die Gardinen hängen halb aus der Schiene. Für sich genommen Kleinigkeiten – bei dem Preis aber echt ärgerlich. Frühstück gibt es nur von 7:30 bis 9, was in Island im Hochsommer ein Witz ist, wenn Gäste die Mitternachtssonne erleben wollen und erst um 2 Uhr morgens nach Hause kommen. Anfragen zur späten Anreise über das Kontaktformular? Wurden ignoriert. Passt zum insgesamt gleichgültigen Eindruck. Immerhin: Das Zimmer war sauber, die Betten überraschend bequem – zwei kleine Lichtblicke in einem enttäuschenden Aufenthalt. Bonus-Tipp: Kein Blick in die offene Küche! Dort sieht’s aus, als wäre ein Food-Truck explodiert. Mit professioneller Gastronomie hat das nichts zu tun.

It's cozy, room was nothing too special but totally fine for 4 of us (we had the room with 5 twin beds). We enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was pretty good and included. I had read another review where someone said they ran out of food by 8:30 (it's served 6-9) but there seemed to be a lot of guests when we stayed (parking lot completely full) and yet plenty of breakfast. I arrived to breakfast at 8:30, my wife and kids actually got there by 8:55 and the staff was kind and let them eat too. Great stay.

Please note: Travelocity says check-in is up to 11pm. This property closed check in at 10pm. However, they left a key and very good instructions because we called ahead. It’s a no-frills arrangement. We weren’t sure what to expect in as remote a part of the country as this, but the room was fine. Utilitarian is the word for it. 5 beds, 2 comfy chairs, and a shower/restroom. No table. Only one of the heaters seemed to work (but it’s a big room). And half the overhead lights didn’t appear to work. But at $400/night, I was honestly expecting a bit more. For $475/night, we rented a two-story, 2BR penthouse in Reykjavik the same week. However, it’s probably a market issue, and people need places to stay in that area. To be fair, we didn’t contact the owner about any of this, so they didn’t have a chance to address anything. We really just need a place to sleep and take off again in the morning, and this worked just fine.

Alles gut außer ein Service der mich massiv geärgert hat. Warum? Wir haben bei Expedia einen Raum mit Küche in dieser Unterkunft reserviert, was auch in den Details der Buchung enthalten war. Als wir ankamen, hieß es dass es keine Küche gibt und noch nie gab, allerdings hatten wir frische Waren zum kochen eingekauft, da der Ort abgelegen ist. Da wir die Rezeption gebeten haben unser verpacktes Fleisch in den Kühlschrank zu legen, und er diesen Dienst vehement verweigert hat, würde ich eine glatte NULL für das Verhalten vergeben. Als Kunde muss ich nicht wissen wer von Expedia oder der Unterkunft Falschangaben macht, aber Frischware für den Gast Kühlstellen, wenn schon das reservierte Objekt nicht stimmt ist ja wohl das Mindeste.

The area is rather remote but the ideal place to see puffins up close -- literally at your feet from the viewing platform that the town has built next to the puffin nesting area. The breakfast and dinner at the hotel were very tasty!

The staff were very friendly. The guy who checked us in was very welcoming. Room was clean. Bed was pretty flat/thin. Not too comfy. Location only 9 mins away from puffin marina. Which is the reason we chose this place. Breakfast is included. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

This was a lovely stay! Our room was just what we needed. Mike at the front desk was very helpful. We were going to wait to see the puffins until the next morning but were advised to go visit them that evening. Thank goodness we did!! Thousands of puffins to see. What a site. We went back in the morning and they were all gone hunting just as Mike had said. The drive out there was a little stressful but absolutely stunning! Highly recommend.
