This is by far the best hotel we stayed in Iceland. Nestled in the northern side of Snaefellesnes peninsula in Olasvik, the hotel is a very reasonable distance from Kirkjufellfoss. The room was spacious, and very clean. When I called up the customer service and asked to move me to a room with kitchen, she gladly did that for me. Such a nice gesture. We are a family of 4 and this was a family room with ocean view. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Room is nice and clean as shown in the picture. It also has a nice view of the town. The restaurant below offers a small discount if you are a hotel guest and isn't bad. The only problem with this place is that there is no one to check you in and help you. The wifi password was hard to find and the door doesn't close properly. The restaurant is the "help". There are steep stairs going up to the second floor where the bedrooms are - no elevators. Even a carry-on luggage was difficult to haul up.

Nice quite place, was a little unsure if the room was for us at first as it looked like someone had just stayed before us with trash and towels. It was a great place to stay for the night and would stay again.

An inn by the sea

An inn located by the sea, you can check in by yourself with a password sent to you. The guest rooms are on the second floor, and the restaurant is on the ground floor, so it is very convenient for food and accommodation.

Never received code to check in. Upon arrival had to call number, owner found us, was very friendly, and got us checked in, The hotel seemed to be one floor on top of a strip mall. We missed it the first drive by. I had reservations at first. No lobby, no amenities. Upon entering the room, we couldn’t have been more surprised. Stayed in a different hotel every night. This was the most spacious and comfortable room. Sitting areas for us so we don’t have to sit on the bed. Coffee maker for pods or tea. Room very clean, bed very comfortable, ocean view a little obscure, but good. Room is not oceanfront. It is ocean view. Area fantastic, charming little walkable village. Great for watching sunset. Restaurant only open 2 hrs for breakfast (not free) so we did not get to it. most disappointing but nothing to do with the hotel about 11 PM, there was a screaming child in the room next to us who continued to scream & cry most of the night, so almost zero sleep. Again nothing to do with the hotel. Our room was fantastic. Loved it and would stay again. Area fabulous.

Good amount of space in the apartment. Very clean. This was the cheapest place we could find at reasonably short notice but was pretty expensive for what we got. Very good base for exploring the Snaefelsness peninsula.

Comfortable and clean

Received the key quote and room no. via email (although has been checking even before we left the hotel to continue our journey, did not see it till we arrived at the apartment). Easy access except need to climb the stairs with our luggage. The room is big and comfortable. There is also a restaurant at ground floor.

Lovely spacious studio apartment, easily enough room for all 3 of us. Clean and has everything needed. It is a little dated and the only thing that lets it down is no lift to get suitcases upstairs. Beware to other visitors that there is only one restaurant in town - but it is an excellent one!

The room is spacious. However we never received emails about the checkin instructions. The phone number provided did not work. Luckily 10 -15 minutes after emailing about our arrival, the property manager showed up. We have seen other tenants trying to figure out how to check in. The apartment has strong odor.
