Hotel smelt musty although clean and simple. Careful with shower floors as they are slippery when went. Breakfast was superfluous, staff were friendly but overall not cozy or personal. Location close to many sites.
This was the place I had the highest expectations for during my 10-day trip in Iceland, and it was also the most expensive per night — but unfortunately, it turned out to be the most disappointing. The surrounding environment was beautiful, and I truly appreciated that. However, the in-room facilities were extremely limited. The space felt cramped, and even the electric kettle couldn't boil enough water for a simple serving of noodles. Overall, the experience didn’t match the price or my expectations.

Decent but overly priced for age of hotel
Hotel is very old. Carpet needs to be replaced. We were traveling in July but rooms were super warm and the only way to cool down was open the window but mosquitoes became an issue. Bathroom was updated and water pressure was good.
Free parking outside. NB it is a large hotel with several sections so check in to find where you are staying before unloading. Reception staff were friendly and our room was in main building with restaurant. Surprisingly quiet and modern room. Comfortable with just the frequent issue in Iceland....the black out curtains lack sufficient material to fully cover the window, otherwise fine.
There are lots of tour groups in the hotel. We had booked a meal for 8pm which worked ok. Not greatly impressed with the quality of the offering in the buffet but it filled a hole. We were warned that the tour groups eat breakfast 7-8 so it gets crowded but we were ok at 8am and reasonable choice available. Staff working hard to keep on top of things.
Expensive hotel given the facilities. Very clean and nice staff but older hotel and basic decor and services.
Online it made it seem like you were right near/on the black sand beach but you are a 10 min drive away.
Wonderful property and amazing staff so accommodating and helpful!

Hótel has great views as it is up on a hill facing the Black Sand Beach, perfect stop for those heading East.
Hótel has some age, not much amenities but works for us just for one night. Cheaper rate than the hotels at Vik.
The views from this guesthouse were beautiful. It’s perched on top of a hill and you’re able to look out onto the water and black sand beach. Loved how rustic the reception and bar was. The lounge area was so cool, filled with vintage furniture and needlepoints. Highly recommend staying here and talking to people from
all around the world in the lounge or breakfast area.
Pros: location is in a nice area of the country; friendly staff; great breakfast buffet options.
Cons: wish they had actual blackout blinds. It was quite bright in the room at 4 am.
Overall, pretty representative of a 3-star hotel.
Perfectly located hotel nestled atop a hill. Stunning views of the ocean and surrounding landscape. Our room was rather large and the beds were comfortable. During our stay we were able to watch the Northern lights from the hotel parking lot. Overall wonderful experience!
