Rooms are ok, scenery fabulous

Room was adequate, clean, no frills. But the common area in a remodeled barn is a fantastic place to enjoy a meal, a drink, or play a card game, read or spend time relaxing and chatting. Large windows frame an unbeatable view of the mountain valley with a picturesque river running through. A great get away!

Großes Zimmer (bzw. als "4-Bett-Zimmer" 2 2-Bett-Zimmer mit Verbindungstür) war für uns 3 optimal. Frühstück umfangreich, Personal sehr freundlich. Sehr sauber, sogar tgl. Zimmer-Service! Hot pot einladend und warm.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Kleines Hotel mit schöner Lage wenn man die Einsamkeit mag. Es scheint aber noch nicht vollständig fertig gestellt zu sein. Leider sind die Zimmer sehr klein und es fehlen Ablagemöglichkeiten. Duschgel und Fön waren nicht vorhanden. Zimmerservice klappt nicht immer. Es ist sehr hellhörig. Fazit:Der Preis ist für die Unterkunft zu hoch.

Family owned Hotel in remote location

This hotel is based in restored farm buildings operated by the owners living in the farm close by. Restoration was not completed but yet the room was in a very good condition. Breakfast and general service was good.The owners are very friendly. Note: The place is very remote and quiet. It's ~20 min. to get to Akureyri. Compared to other hotels I consider the price adequate.

Country class

It was a bit difficult to find and about 30 minutes outside of Akureri, but worth the drive. Staff was really friendly and accommodating. The guesthouse had a kitchen, but we opted for dinner in the small restraint (the old converted barn). dinner was a homemade Icelandic meat soup with lots of Lamb. it was excellent and the simple breakfast was also good. Enjoyable and very seinic.

Vacker omgivning

Vi tyckte mycket om vårt guesthouse. Det var ok frukost och bra rum. Vi delade badrum med andra men det gick bra. Tyvärr ligger det lite utanför men för vår del passade det bra.

simple but comfortable and clean, in a lovely settling

This is a small hotel in an even smaller town--apart from the hotel, it consists of one farm and a tiny church in a valley. The scenery of the mountains is gorgeous and visible from the rooms and the hotel's common area. It's simple--shared bathrooms and rooms are not serviced everyday. But it's very clean and comfortable, with a nice modern feel. It's very convenient to all the sights in the area. It has cooking facilities also.
