The hotel is in a really nice location across from the harbour, making it a great spot to explore the area. The rooms, though small due to the historic building, were just the right size for my husband, two-year-old daughter, and me. The service, especially the delicious and healthy breakfast served by the owner, was fantastic. However, the prices could be a bit steep for elder people considering the room size.

I had a charming stay at this boutique hotel. The room, though cozy with a lovely view of the harbor, had a minor downside as I couldn't sit up in bed without bumping my head. The service was top-notch, with young, friendly, and professional staff in this intimate 10-room establishment. The location was superb, right in the heart of the town with excellent dining options nearby and a peaceful ambiance overlooking the harbor. The dining experience was enjoyable, offering a variety of delicious options, but slightly on the expensive side. Overall, a delightful stay on the beautiful Snæfellsbær peninsula.
