No towels, no kettle, one of the bed table lamps not working, very dim lights in the room. There is no light by the windows. Coffee machine broken down in the morning breakfast time....

The breakfast was bare minimal. Compared to the other hotels, it was poor. Coffee machine out of order. Staff were not friendly. The fridge/ the cold storage area smelt.

“Guide for everything you need to know”
I will guide you through this hotel because I think it is necessary so I recommend reading before you book. step 1. - if you are lucky and they send you the room code on the day of arrival - congratulations you are one of the few like us! :D we recommend writing to them on both emails for the code and calling them as much as possible !! otherwise they will not give you the code. we helped a few people who thought someone would be at the reception (they told them themselves!) step 2. you are in the room and the code is correct - check the room we had a clump of hair in the bathroom so it's for the brave step 3. breakfast is included but skip it to enjoy your trip to Iceland - in short - everything is expired step 4. when you shower you hold the shower with one hand and with the other you hold the rod they leave there for you to wipe the water to the drain so you don't have water all over the room :D it sounds funny but it wasn't very funny but we managed it.. i have never written such a bad review in my life but it was necessary

“Clean, comfotable but poorly organized for arrival.”
Breakfast location was excellent but the choices were limited. There was ample supply for what appeared to be a low level of bookings at the hotel.

Self check in. Coffee was great. Was opposite a very good restaurant, Sker. Small fishing place. For such a small place, it had a very nice artistic looking church.

“Fits for purpose, only one night…”
Room was near by the elevator, hence everyone who left early has to pass.

“Exceeded our expectations based on previous reviews, basic but all you need in great location.”
I was anxious about what our experience would be based on the reviews I had read but given there was but the hotel exceeded our expectations ( travelling with my husband) spotlessly clean, basic but everything you needed was available including a fridge and T&C making facilities . Quiet at night and in an excellent location. you don’t see much of the staff but they are pleasant when you do. check in is a little odd but efficient . the cost was relative to all other hotels in the area - all of Iceland is expensive !
