Very friendly staff. We had an early whale watching trip one of the mornings and the staff let us into the breakfast bar early so we could have breakfast and still make it to the boat in time.

Interesting property that was once a boarding school. Was there in the off-season and there were no dining options available. There is a very rustic restaurant about 10 miles North of this property. The only other option was the town of Hick 25 miles Southwest. If you were traveling to Northern or eastern Iceland, it’s wise not to let you fuel get below half a tank and keep some extra food in the car in case you find yourself in a village where everything is closed at 6 PM. Iceland is GORGEOUS and the people are lovely, but there are much fewer options in the remote areas for fuel and food.

Das Hotel ist ein Disaster, null Organisation: Wir kamen um 15:55 Uhr am Hotel an, Check-In war ab 16 Uhr angegeben Wir fanden ein leeres Hotel vor, und selbst nach 30 Minuten gab es kein Anzeichen einer Kontaktperson, auch nicht nach mehrmaligen Anrufen bei der angegebenen Kontaktnummer. Nach einer Stunde warten (es waren 3 weitere Autos mit uns auch am warten) meldete sich eine Person zurück und sagte, sie wäre nach 10 Minuten da. Nach 10 Minuten kam diese Person auch, sagte nur ein kaltes „Sorry“ und mehr gab es da nicht, keine aufrichtige Entschuldigung, gar nichts. Wir durften dann ganz normal unsere Übernachtungsgebühr in vollem Preis bezahlen. Am nächsten Morgen ging es gleich weiter: Wir kamen zum (extra gegen Aufpreis bezahlten) Frühstück, alle Tische waren voll mit benutztem Geschirr, daraufhin mussten wir erstmal unseren Tisch selbst abräumen und abwischen. Danach durften wir wieder 15 Minuten auf Geschirr warten, da keines vorhanden war und auch keine Ansprechperson in Reichweite war. Hier wird auf die Gäste keine Rücksicht genommen und Service ein Fremdwort.

Eher ein Hostel. Kein service. Abendessen war nicht möglich und in weiter Umgebung auch nicht. Frühstück sehr spartanisch und übersichtlich. Man soll selber den Tisch abräumen. In den Zimmern wäre ein Frühlingsputz überfällig

Buena estancia

La habitación es amplia y con lavabo. Incluía desayuno y no estaba mal. Básico. La cocina se encuentra en las afueras del hostel, en una cochera donde hace mucho frio y si pones el radiador saltan los plomos. Todo lo demás bien. Había té y café gratis en el comedor del desayuno.

Tyst, och fina omgivningar. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Bra frukost, för att vara ett isländskt hotell. Sköna sängar. Hade även möjlighet att äta middag, fast vi valde aannan restaurang pga av tidsbesparing.

The host kept the kitchen open because we got in so late. Very much appreciated. The room was tiny as was the bathroom, but it was only for one night. Room was quiet and very clean. Comfortable bed.
