Issue at the breakfast
I had an issue: I booked two days at the hotel, included breakfast. At the first day the breakfast was complete, with white bread, croissants and sweet pastries. At the second day only white bread was available because a big group of a travel agency finished with the all assortment of sweets breads. More five couples of guests stayed without this service. A note: we payed for the breakfast, it is not for free… this is a non organization method to supply all the guest in the same way.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on your recent stay with us. We're glad you appreciated the view from our restaurant; it's one of the aspects we're most proud of. Being housed in a heritage building does come with its own set of unique characteristics, which can sometimes mean rooms that are cozier than modern constructions. We understand and regret that this may not have met your expectations in terms of room size and ceiling height.We apologize for any inconvenience the limited parking might have caused. Your insights are invaluable, as they help us understand where improvements can be made.We hope that despite these points, you were able to enjoy the charm and history that our hotel offers. We'd love to welcome you back in the future for a more satisfactory experience.

When booking a superior room make sure to request ocean side. We got one at the end with a view of the street. Terrible. The room was also quite noisy due to it being above the kitchen.

Very good place, but a bit pricy for what it is
The service was excellent. The front desk staff was quite hilarious and provided great services when our room door wasn't working. Our first room was on the ground floor and looked onto the parking lot. Although it was spacious and clean, I was a bit disappointed considering the price. As it happened, the lock of the room broke and couldn't lock, so the front desk quickly upgraded us to a more expensive room with a balcony and great view. The second room was a lot smaller, but the view was so good I really have no complaints. Overall the room was comfortable.. My only issue was with the Scandinavian style bathroom. Iceland doesn't seem to have the concept of partition in shower that kept the rest of the bathroom dry after showering. There was a shower curtain but the water still got on the floor everywhere the bathroom was practically overflowing with water on the floor the whole time. (You need a sandal) I assume it's a cultural difference type of thing, but it was still quite uncomfortable. The bathroom was also small and dingy for the price the hotel charges. The breakfast could be purchased separately and I am happy that I did. The dinning room facing the water and deck was really beautiful and calming. They offer laundry services for about $12 per load, which saved our lives on this longer trip. Not cheap but worth the price to save yourself some troubles.

Stayed 3 nights. Great location. Would recommend room facing fjord with balcony. Lots to see in the area. Dining room spacious and great view over the fjord. Breakfast had a late start and appeared a bit disorganised. Limited choice of breads. Museum in hotel was interesting. Overall would highly recommend.

Loved the clean, spacious room in the old museum building. Bathroom a bit small, especially the shower space. Hotel is good but the town is small with limited restaurant choices. Biggest negative is the fish smell permeating the town from the fish processing plant.

Usually, people say the view is amazing. Yes, it is. However, I must say that the best part of this hotel is the friendliness of the staff. The lady at the reception to our waiter at the restaurant, they were wonderful.

Arrived late in the evening, just before the restaurants closing time, and while the check in process was a bit strange, as there was no one at the Reception, we managed to check in and have dinner at the restaurant. The Receptionist was friendly and offered a beautiful room, with an aurora viewing window....we absolutely loved the room and the little details like the recycle bins, the special soap they use in the sink and shower, and that there is some modest closet space. Beds were very comfortable as were the soft pillows. Dinner at the restaurant was lite but delicious and Xzanet from Hungary was very helpful and provided great service. The view from this hotel and the dining room is unmatched, we were pleasantly surprised when we woke up and went for breakfast...absolutely beautiful! I would stay again!
