This property is in a beautiful and convenient location. All rooms are ground level. Included breakfast was excellent. The rooms are comfortable but dated, and the price was very high (CDN $615 for one night).

Among the best stays my wife and I had in Iceland. Very friendly staff, Eva was terrific and we chatted a bit upon our arrival. We wish her the best during her time in Iceland, if she reads this! You made our stay delightful! Breakfast is amazing here, lots of hot and cold options and a few extras not offered in other breakfasts too, cod liver oil for one. The rooms were quite clean, well ventilated, lots of parking, and great showers that are contained and not the typical European shower that gets waters everywhere with no lip/seperated shower area. Much appreciate this. Easy to clean fiberglass shower unit, great design choice by the owners, kudos. Also has great ventilation, comfy beds, would stay here mulitiple nights. Only con is that the nearest town is Vik, which is about 10-15 mins away. Overall, would stay again! Thanks again, Eva!

The staff, location, and property were very well kept and easy to find. The proximity to the lower portion of Iceland and the village of Vík and attractions made it very desirable.
