Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is centrally located in a quiet and picturesque town, perfect for exploring Western Iceland. The rooms, while small, were adequate for a family of three. The service was exceptional, making our stay pleasant and memorable. The dining options were of good quality but came at an additional cost. Overall, a charming hotel with a friendly atmosphere and great accessibility to local attractions.
The hotel offers a charming and character-filled stay, though the rooms can feel a bit crowded with low ceilings. The service is extremely friendly, and the location is ideal for exploring the town and nearby attractions. The dining experience is excellent, especially for guests with special dietary needs.
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.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although small, were surprisingly comfortable in this historical building. The service was helpful and charming, yet fell a bit short of my expectations. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the town, but the dining options left something to be desired.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, especially enjoying the central location and the warm and welcoming service. The room, while basic, was suitable for a short stay. The dining experience was delightful with a hearty breakfast. However, the lack of facilities was a downside for a longer stay.
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.
