Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Come here for the stunning location but do not expect much from the hotel. It’s like sleeping on a hard grey rock - with minimal comforts or care. We were a family of four, no shampoo, one thin pillow, slightly dusty and not even a decent cup of coffee. The room is unadorned and sterile. That said, this is one of the most incredible spots to visit and actually worth it. If you can find a hotel elsewhere Hotel Budir or in Helnar - which are nearby - I would go for it. If you must stay here, I still would for the incredible natural surroundings.

You can't beat the location - perfectly situated allowing direct access to walk the cliff tops and view the beauty of the Icelandic coast below and a good point to split the trip if seeing the West end. The room was nice enough and the huge window facing the sea was nice but it would be have been better if the adjoining restaurant shut off their rear exterior lights so you could appreciate the view at night. The restaurant experience wasn't great - found the staff cold and the food bland but options are limited out there. Overall the hotel was a good place and recommended.

Smooth check in and good restaurant. Standard room is a bit small and not much space for big luggage. it’s a good location and it works to stay for the night as there is not much option.

This hotel is right on the ocean and a great walkway with fantastic sights. There is a restaurant attached and a few others across the street (but might not be open). Advice: Bring food/snacks with you because of limited shops and restaurants. The hotel looks like container pods. Ours had four separate rooms. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The shower is heated via solar, so there is limited hot water. The wifi was great as was TV reception. The bed was basic with one pillow each. No washcloths. This was a perfectly adequate and comfortable place to stay for one night.

Our triple room was clean, comfortable, a standard hotel room for 3 people. Mini fridge, coffee/tea supplied. Shower was excellent. Housekeeping staff friendly and helpful. The only amenities the hotel has is a restaurant. The service was not great. Food dropped off then didn’t return to table. Food very sub par and every order was messed up in one way or another. Ordered fish and chips, fish raw and cold inside. Location was good for base. Other eating choices nearby.

The area by this hotel is amazing. It was clean and nice, though on the smaller side. Hot water is limited but shouldn’t be an issue if you take quick showers.
