My stay was quite the experience. The views from the hotel were absolutely stunning, and I truly enjoyed the quaint charm of the place. However, the thin walls made things a bit noisy at times.

This hotel offers a unique experience tucked away in a stunning fjord, perfect for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature. The dining options were a highlight, with delicious meals that exceeded expectations. However, while the rooms were quite spacious, the concrete floors felt a bit rough on the feet, and the bed could have been more comfortable for a better night's sleep. Overall, it provides a charming yet basic stay in a beautiful setting.

I had a nice time at this hotel which has a beautiful view and is conveniently located near everything in town. My room was spacious but the concrete floor was tough on my feet and the bed was pretty basic. The check-in process was smooth, which was a plus, but overall, I wouldn't rate it as exceptional and felt some improvements could be made.

My stay was quite a mixed bag. The hotel is in a stunning location, right in the heart of Seydisfjordur with incredible fjord views, which truly made the stay memorable. However, the room I had felt more like a converted closet than a hotel room, and I struggled with noise from my neighbors. The dining options were decent, but the meal experience didn’t quite live up to the serene surroundings. Overall, it has its charm, but some aspects could definitely use improvement.
