The hotel is a bit out of way, didnt expect its in a farm. However, the ocean view is gorgeous. The hotel interior walls and steps are all unfinished playwood, which doesnt look new, not sure if this was the plan or just never finished? The included breakfast have good choices, and the The main issue of this hotel is that the first picture of this hotel is a man in a good-sized hotpool, which doesnt exist in the hotel... It only had a tiny 3-foot square pool at the back door, which is truely sad.

I rented this hotel mostly for sauna and hot tube. Hot tube (pictured on the Expedia) was not there. Instead it has a tiny may be 30 centimeters deep dirty tiny pool...The room was renovated and clean, breakfast average. 15 minutes drive from the city, not much to do there.

Very strange decor for a hotel. Pools were not as I felt described. Do splurge on the dinner buffet….it was homemade and a very good meal.

Located in a nice area. Easy to get to with lots of place to park. Room was clean. I would say this place offered THE MOST solid breakfast I had on my trip. They had scrambled eggs! The one reason why I gave only a 4 star rating (and 3 stars for property condition) is the drain in my washroom. It was clogged or something as water would start boiling out of it while using the sink. How functional/clean a washroom is means a lot to me. Were it not for the washroom, this place has an easy 5 star rating.

Near Akureyri. Quiet and convenient to reach. And breakfast was great. However water had a very strong surfur smell and smelled like rotten eggs. Even shampoo and soap couldnt cover the smell. There was mold in bathroom and it could use some renovation. The staff didnt give us any explanation on amenities such as wifi, hot tub, etc during check in.
