Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and super clean rooms with a mega spacious terrace, making it a great choice for a comfortable stay. However, the noise level can be a downside, feeling like sleeping in containers in front of a parking lot. The breakfast could use some improvement as it lacks variety.
The hotel offers decently sized and very clean rooms, though they are not very soundproof, reminiscent of a 1980's dorm. The service, while friendly, lacks that personal touch to make guests feel truly at home. The location is ideal for exploring the beautiful nature of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, despite being a bit secluded. The dining experience is delightful with delicious homemade bread, but mostly includes cold dishes. Overall, it's a basic and slightly overpriced lodging option with some positives and negatives to consider.
The hotel has a great location for exploring the area, but the rooms were sparsely furnished and not soundproof. The breakfast was subpar with no egg options, and the dining lacked local specialties. However, the service was incredibly friendly and helpful with multilingual staff, making the stay enjoyable despite the drawbacks.
The hotel is situated near the town of Budir on the south coast of the Sneasfellsness Peninsula, offering a sparsely decorated room with a comfy bed and beautiful views. The staff is lovely and helpful, advising on weather and local attractions. The dining experience, while average, includes freshly baked bread, but the breakfast variety is limited. A good choice for touring with sightseeing and hiking opportunities nearby, ideal for those looking for a quiet spot to view the northern lights.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfy with beautiful ocean views, although the shower made the whole room wet with a leaky sink. The breakfast was poor, lacking variety, but we managed since we had our own supplies. The service was friendly and helpful, but there were times when the staff seemed preoccupied. The location was excellent for sightseeing and hiking but lacked hotel options in the area.
I was delighted with my stay at this hotel. The rooms, although basic, were spacious, spotlessly clean, and boasted incredibly comfortable beds. The modern decor and fantastic views added to the overall experience. The service was exceptional, with thoughtful touches like optimizing the number of pillows and providing valuable information about the auroras. The location was ideal, placing me perfectly to explore the beautiful Snæfellsness Peninsula. The dining options, although simple, offered delicious meals. The facilities were well-maintained, making my stay truly enjoyable.
