10/10 Exceptional

Charming is the first sensation I felt when I walked into this hotel, everything is warmly decorated and you feel like you’ve walked into an old home with a lovingly decorated living room home that’s also modern like the bar. Furniture and decorations are more rustic than Scandinavian, complete with a little description of their history.

They are under new management since Feb 2026. They are still trying to get everything right. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. It has a wonderful view.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful view from the rooms on the hvalfjörður side, the dinning room and lounge area were outstanding. The staff were very helpful and attentive, we very much appreciated their attention to us as tired travelers on our first night in Iceland. The hotel manager was extremely approachable, friendly, he answered all of our questions, and gave us great information for the next few days of our adventure. The property is under new ownership as of early 2026 and they are making visible improvements. The dinner was excellent and the breakfast was also very good. We asked for our thermos to be filled with boiling water and we had hot water for tea and coffee all day! The bed was very comfortable although they are upstairs in a loft. The hotel is very quiet and we did not hear noise from other guests. Highly recommended, and we would stay here again, especially as a base hotel to hike to the Glymer waterfall on a future trip.

The hotel has a great potential and the staff is extremely helpful, however the rooms were not clean enough, quite old and were not maintained well enough. The hot water in the shower smelled from sulphur - more noticeable than in other hotels we’ve been in Iceland

Amazing views of Hvalfjörður from this quirky hotel. Our room had a bed on the mezzanine floor so plenty of space below for luggage. Would have been good to have a second chair in the room but we made do with going to the lounge. Loved the bar & lounge/sitting room area - great for drinks or (free) cups of tea/coffee. Also great view from spa pools. Breakfast included cereal, skyr, fruit, pastries & eggs/bacon. No flat whites but tea & coffee. Easy parking. No lift but staff offered to help with luggage - we were ok just one floor up.

The staff were the highlight including the chef but the hotel is in dire need of a facelift, including new hot tubs.

The hotel staff were very welcoming! The meals offered and bar had excellent options, even for me when I have to eat gluten free. Hotel is a little dated but comfortable accommodations and nice size rooms and bathroom.

Ánægjuleg dvöl.

Notalegt og fallegt hótel. Fallegt útsýni yfir fjörðinn úr herberginu, rúmið mjög gott. Vinalegt starfsfólk og góður matur. Setustofan virkilega falleg og þægileg. Mér finnst vanta að láta gesti vita af því að herbergið sé á þremur pöllum og mjög hár stigi upp í hlutann sem rúmið er í. Það kom sér aðeins illa í okkar tilfelli. Annars heilt yfir mjög ánægjuleg dvöl í rólegu og notalegu umhverfi.

Abgenutztes und nicht mehr zeitgemäßes Hotel weit unter angegebenen Standard. Sehr sonderbares Personal, welches eher kumpelhaft auftritt und Scherze macht die anmaßend sind. Frühstück ok, aber wenig liebevoll zubereitet. Insgesamt sehr unangenehme Atmosphäre.

Meerblick, Hot Tub im Freien und Ruhe

Das Zimmer war mit Maisonette und hatte daher eine Treppe in den Schlafbereich. Leider gab es von oben (aus dem Bett) keinen Ausblick. Beim ausgezeichneten Frühstück waren wir alleine. Der Ausblick aus dem Zimmer (mit Meerblick) sowie die beiden Außen-Hot Tub (die wir abends alleine nutzen konnten) verzeihen jedoch das in die Jahr gekommene Gesamtbild.
