This is a beautiful hotel on the water in a beautiful fjord. The room was lovely and the staff were very helpful. We ate at the restaurant at the hotel as well as the two in the community - everything was delicious. We used this as a base to explore the other east fjords. The trails were very good. We loved the quiet relaxed atmosphere of the area.
Found this beach on our way there.
Be sure to visit the museum

We reached late but the receptionist was quick to help with the check in. Room size was small (we had requested a 3 person room). Bathroom was also small. Certainly expensive for the price that we paid but thankfully the breakfast was included in the price.

This was my favorite hotel of my ring road trip simply due to the balcony overlooking the fjord. I spent hours just sitting, sipping coffee, and watching the ducks/ducklings. Such a relaxing location and the room was a good size. I really miss this hotel the most out of my whole trip. Also, Tatyana at check in has such a bubbly personality that it was great to see someone who really enjoys what they are doing and is an extremely welcoming person. 10/10 will be back!

Nice stay on the water

Large, nicely appointed and refreshed room in historic building with wood floors, lots of angles and character. Our room and bathroom were quite large with a nice water view. Very quiet.

Lovely town. Good hotel and staff. It’s a very old place repurposed as a hotel. A bit scary to think it was once a hospital. The museum and pictures add to the eerie experience. Our 10 year daughter was super scared. Rest of the stay was fine.

Nice location on the fjord. Waking up in the morning looking over the water before even getting out of your bed is great. Restaurant in the hotel. Even a museum. Then the hotel is clean and the service excellent.

Really interesting hotel in great setting

It's an interesting hotel, utilising former French hospital buildings and containing an interesting musuem about the French sailors, mainly from Brittany who spent half the year in tough conditions fishing along the Icelandic coast. The receptionist was friendly, informative and welcoming. Our room was over the road (free parking outside) with a view over the fjord. The room was spacious and modern with good black out curtains and a fab view. We booked into the French restaurant withon the hotel and both enjoyed our meals. Breakfast was also enjoyable with a good range ot items which were stocked up regularly. Neither the hotel or the restaurant are cheap - nothing in Iceland is cheap! However it was a pleasant quiet night. NB Nothing to do with the hotel but the fish industry locally is still very much alive and so we had a strong whiff of fish when outside. Doesn’t take away from the great views and setting.
