We checked in a day early after an abysmal experience at our previous hotel - and we’re glad we did! Beautiful location, comfortable beds, spotless room, exceptional staff, and amazing breakfasts and dinners. This was a truly memorable place.
Fantastic dinner options included local lamb and seafood soup.
View from our room, and a very welcome sunny day.
The iconic black church is only a short drive away.

What a wonderful hotel! We found this beautiful place when searching for stops along our trek of northern iceland. The staff was amazing, the food was superb, the views were insane and having a kitty roaming around was the icing on the cake! Would highly recommend this hotel!

One of the most beautiful hotel that have stayed in. Love it for the hospitality and views are breathtaking especially the sea+morning sunrise. Receptionists were very helpful and friendly - they knocked on our door to let us know on the aurora sighting as was awaiting it. Recommend to stay 2 nights or more as our 1 night was too short. Breakfast was lovely & night having a cold Iceland beer was great! Thank you so much for the experience & warm welcome!
