Hotel Smyrlabjorg

Hotel Smyrlabjorg

8/10 Good
"This is a great hotel. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Rooms are nice and spacious. The only thing is that the shower stall in the bathroom has no partition on the floor to separate it from rest of the bathroom so it makes the bathroom messy because there is just a shower curtain but no tub or partition to prevent the water from spreading around."

"Super clean and very comfy. The kitchen was very nice with everything you need for cooking. The only thing that was a bit confusing was the check in process, because the reception was in another location. It would be helpful if there were signs and they just emailed you the code to the key box with your key, and room number, rather than going offsite. Other than that, very much loved the cute cottage."
