Perfect room

This was our last night in Iceland. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was clean, good size. Bathroom was also perfect size. Small shelf. Great shower. We also had dinner at the restaurant. One of the best meals in Iceland. I was just about a 2 hour ride to the airport. TV was available, but have your Prime or Netflix acct numbers available.

This hotel was a great find. It has clean and well-kept rooms with Smart TVs and an excellent breakfast. Their on-site café stays open until 9:30 PM, which is very convenient. We had a fantastic stay here, and the location is ideal for exploring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula without needing to drive from Reykjavík.

extremely friendly and helpful staffs, very welcoming, they showed us the room and briefed us about the functions when they gave us the key. The heat was coming from the floor so it may take a while to heat up but all is well, we had a nice sleep and very lovely breakfast as well. Highly recommended this hotel if you are around this area to explore the Snæfellsjökull national park.

The staff was exceptionally friendly. Room was very tidy and the bed was like a cloud compared to the place we came from. The baked goods from the cafe were delicious. The wind was quite fast the night we stayed and you could hear it in the vent in the bathroom but shutting the door did a good enough job to quiet it down a good bit. Would stay here again if I had the chance

We loved this hotel. The staff was very welcoming. The food in their restaurant was excellent. We loved the breakfast that was included. They have a latte machine for the morning and were nice enough to boil me some oat milk to make a latte. Probably the best coffee we had while in Iceland was here. It was an extremely convenient location for exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. We would gladly stay here again in the future.

The Breakfast is good with many selection and the homemade bread is delicious. We had dinners at the restaurant and the food is well presented and worth the price we paid. The big bonus is that we were able to see the Northern Lights right outside our hotel room which is certainly a great plus given the freezing cold.
