Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is filled with fascinating books and interesting objects, creating a unique ambiance. The room was great, very comfortable and clean, but had a faint musty odor which could be improved. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, with excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining spots. The location is fantastic, within walking distance of hot springs, the seafront, and whale watching agencies. The dining experience, although not exceptional, was good and provided a satisfying start to the day. Overall, it's a charming hotel with some room for small improvements.
Staying at this hotel was an amazing experience! The rooms were spacious, very clean, and had a spectacular view of the harbor. The location overlooking the harbor was fantastic, within walking distance to hot springs, seafront, and must-see whale watching spots in Husavik. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. The dining experience, although not the best I had during my journey, still offered acceptable varieties. Overall, a wonderful stay with some minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, close to the port and the town's attractions. The rooms, however, were not so nice and lacked modern amenities, making for a less than ideal experience. The service was superb, with helpful staff providing valuable recommendations for exploring the area. The dining options were decent but could be improved, and the facilities met basic needs but nothing extraordinary.
