Great view and location. This is our second time staying here. The only thing is that if you book the quad room know that it says 4 beds but it’s really 2 beds and a futon that is folded down. So with teenagers who don’t want to share beds this was hard to do. We thought there would be 4 separate twins. We asked them to try to help move the futon into two twins but they never did.

Hotel smelt musty although clean and simple. Careful with shower floors as they are slippery when went. Breakfast was superfluous, staff were friendly but overall not cozy or personal. Location close to many sites.

This was the place I had the highest expectations for during my 10-day trip in Iceland, and it was also the most expensive per night — but unfortunately, it turned out to be the most disappointing. The surrounding environment was beautiful, and I truly appreciated that. However, the in-room facilities were extremely limited. The space felt cramped, and even the electric kettle couldn't boil enough water for a simple serving of noodles. Overall, the experience didn’t match the price or my expectations.

Decent but overly priced for age of hotel

Hotel is very old. Carpet needs to be replaced. We were traveling in July but rooms were super warm and the only way to cool down was open the window but mosquitoes became an issue. Bathroom was updated and water pressure was good.

Busy hotel but fine for a night

Free parking outside. NB it is a large hotel with several sections so check in to find where you are staying before unloading. Reception staff were friendly and our room was in main building with restaurant. Surprisingly quiet and modern room. Comfortable with just the frequent issue in Iceland....the black out curtains lack sufficient material to fully cover the window, otherwise fine. There are lots of tour groups in the hotel. We had booked a meal for 8pm which worked ok. Not greatly impressed with the quality of the offering in the buffet but it filled a hole. We were warned that the tour groups eat breakfast 7-8 so it gets crowded but we were ok at 8am and reasonable choice available. Staff working hard to keep on top of things.

Expensive hotel given the facilities. Very clean and nice staff but older hotel and basic decor and services. Online it made it seem like you were right near/on the black sand beach but you are a 10 min drive away.

Hótel has great views as it is up on a hill facing the Black Sand Beach, perfect stop for those heading East. Hótel has some age, not much amenities but works for us just for one night. Cheaper rate than the hotels at Vik.
