The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Everything was perfectly adequate and the hotel was in a great spot near most of what the town has to offer. I would stay here again :)

Only one night in Seydisfjordur, but I would love to come back to this hotel! Beautiful room in an older but well maintained building. I enjoyed the kitchen facilities for preparing snacks, lunch, coffee etc.

The room is sufficient for laying your head down but is much too tiny without enough room to open luggage. It is clean and has a cute communal kitchen but should be advertised as a rooming house or hostel in my opinion.

The room was compact, cosy and clean. It had a proper double bed, not 2 singles pushed up together, there was a eating area where residents could eat their own food, a lounge area with comfortable seats and a fantastic breakfast that was served in the nearby hotel.

Right at the heart of the city, Very convenient. But hard to find the front desk though, because the address in the booking information different with actual address. The hotel is not clean. The staff is nice and helpful.

We had a beautiful room overlooking the water. The room was quaint, charming, and clean, although a touch old; the only thing missing was a fridge in our room. A great stay in a small, quiet town.

Quite cozy rooms next to the beautiful lake. We were confused in the Checkin process as it is at a separate hotel but the hotel is quite near like next building so all in all it was a good stay. We also saw northern lights from the place.

Sweet little stay.

Wonderful little hotel! We stayed in December 2023 in a triple room with a great view out onto the ship harbor. It was easy to get in touch with reception to check in and he was wonderful to let us know which restaurant in town was open for the evening. There’s a fridge in the desk that we didn’t find until the next morning.

City is beautiful, room was tooooo small, it had only bed in it, everything was clean, no complain on that side. Terrible communication with hotel, they are not responding to send messages. There is no reception, no one whom you can talk, there was only kitchen, we wanted to add breakfast, but HOW, no one's around for communicating. Also no option for eating in the WHOLE city after 9 pm, all kitchen's are closed even at FRIDAY!! No option to change charged credit card on the site, I had to call directly and they charged another amount, 12 euros more than site gives (will try to figure this one out) Overall not pleased

We booked an "very small double", it was in fact quite an ample space, much bigger than we expected which was great, especially with all our motorbike luggage. Somewhere in the building to make a coffee or tea would have been the cherry on the top. Otherwise a good place to stay
