Top Hvammstangi Hotel Reviews

Aurora Igloo North

Aurora Igloo North

10/10 Excellent
"This was a very cozy and relatively private igloo. We chose it for clear view should there have been northern lights. There were none during our stay but it was still a great stop. Lovely expansive view. I wasn't expecting it to be so close to the main road with relatively bright lighting as a result. The common area was nice and clean with adequate bathrooms for the number of people during the times we came to the space."

"We were so looking forward to this accomodation with the view straight to the ocean, and a hope for some Northern Lights, but our day's plans were changed due to weather and we didn't arrive until 9pm on a wet and crazy windy evening. It was such a cozy space to warm up in, and we were happy to arrive finally. The kitchenette was handy, the water was hot, and beds comfortable."

"What a wonderful little cottage, "cozy" and peaceful. The initial info regarding check in was a bit confusing, however Peter met us to check in and gave us great hints regarding places to go and things to see....we could not do everything he suggested and we never would have seen seals playing just a few feet offshore, if he did not tell us a place to see them. The hosts checked in during our stay to make sure everything was ok...great hosts....great place."
