AIMIN, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We arrived late, about 9:45 pm, and they made sure to wait for us, got us taken care of quickly and showed us to our room. The included breakfast was a decent variety and got us going in the morning. It was a short stay but enjoyable and we would definitely stay there again.

8/10 Very good

Very thin walls, and limited selection. The pros are very clean and cozy, with excellent staff.
Colin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is perfect for puffin watching(7 min drive). The northern lights are right outside the room or the hotel. Thats how dark it is next to the hotel. The breakfast was very good. The views around the hotels itself are very good. Staff is friendly and helpful, the receiptionist gave us tips on hiking etc
Akhil, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The setting is magical but most businesses are closed, including the hotels restaurant, in September. Plan accordingly!
Edgar, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location on the water was beautiful and relaxing and a quick drive over to puffin island! Breakfast provided was able to cater to just about anyone’s dietary restrictions.
Carol, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The area is rather remote but the ideal place to see puffins up close -- literally at your feet from the viewing platform that the town has built next to the puffin nesting area. The breakfast and dinner at the hotel were very tasty!
Margaret, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property is in a beautiful setting and is in nice shape. The dining room is a nice feature, although it seems vastly overpriced for what they offer. Breakfast was fine but nothing special. All in all, it's a fine place, but we expected a bit more.
Stephen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay to see the puffins. only 5-10 minute drive away to the puffin island....and there were hundreds of them! THe hotel looks a lot better in person than the pics...pretty modern room. also has a laundry facility that seems unheard of in Iceland. Highly recommended.

Rachel, 1-night trip

Nice place to spend the nice with good breakfast.
Jason, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's cozy, room was nothing too special but totally fine for 4 of us (we had the room with 5 twin beds). We enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was pretty good and included. I had read another review where someone said they ran out of food by 8:30 (it's served 6-9) but there seemed to be a lot of guests when we stayed (parking lot completely full) and yet plenty of breakfast. I arrived to breakfast at 8:30, my wife and kids actually got there by 8:55 and the staff was kind and let them eat too. Great stay.

It was wonderful having our own bathroom at this hotel, and the breakfast was outstanding. We would stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, tucked in the valley, and situated in a quaint town. Close proximity to puffin colony was a bonus!
Jillian, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Just OK

The place was fine, however we did not receive the room type that we had booked. Also when we arrived to the room, one of the beds was not made, and the comforter was just crumpled up on top of the bed which made us wonder if the room had been cleaned at all before we arrived. The manager/owner did give us some money back the next day, so that was nice. Breakfast was ok. Location was excellent, really close to the harbor where you see the puffins, which is why we stayed there.
Craig, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very friendly. The guy who checked us in was very welcoming. Room was clean. Bed was pretty flat/thin. Not too comfy. Location only 9 mins away from puffin marina. Which is the reason we chose this place. Breakfast is included. All in all we enjoyed our stay.
Vera, 1-night trip

Nice lace to stay with good breakfast
