Book Skagastrond hotels

We were contacted a few weeks before our stay to be told that the hotel had been rented out to a private company. We were given 2 options including moving to the sister hotel 40 mins further, and given an upgraded room, or to an apartment on the same site. It was made clear that the apartment was an upgrade but that there were no staff on site and no breakfast available. We had chosen the hotel for its location overlooking the water so opted for the apartments. The apartment was spacious with lovely linen in the bedroom and plenty of towels. However, my apartment only had two coffee sachets and no pods despite there being a machine and no tea whereas my friend in an adjacent apartment had tea and coffee pods. The apartment looked clean although the floor was 'gritty' in places and the windows were filthy so the view of the ocean was a little hampered. The shower was lovely but it didn't drain well so I had to spend time mopping up only to find that my friend had the same problem. I was also charged for the room in Euros rather than the original ISK. Given that this was our 3rd most expensive hotel (for the original room) it was disappointing. Clearly the apartments hadn't really been prepared for the season and I expect we didn't get the usual experience there. It would have been better if we had been cancelled. Interestingly the other accommodation was cheaper than we'd paid when I looked. All in all disappointing but clearly would be much better when open!

Bit of a hole in the wall. Expected a microwave/fridge in room but was communal. The communal area was in a bit of a state of shock. Room was on the small side and not much natural light.

Very friendly hotel. Lovely Scottish lady carried our bags upstairs and made us drinks with chocolates when we came in after dinner. Cosy room and best beds ever!!! Bathroom cold and a bit old fashioned looking. Needs renovating. We ate at Sauda in the town as the restaurant wasn’t open. It was very nice. Good breakfast. Lots of parking.

Very good living environment and living conditions, suitable for business trips

Has laundry!!

Very clean and spacious apartment but interior is a bit dated. Easy self-check in
