We really enjoyed our stay overall, however the room was very warm and the one window we could open a few inches had to be propped to stay open. The room was clean. Loved the communal kitchen and dining area.

편안하고 좋은 숙소

방에사 키르큐펠이 보이는ㅗㅂ게 좋았어요 방이 생각다 좁긴 했지만 전채적으로 깨끗하고 관리가 잘돼 있었어요 주방도 필요한 조리기구는 비치되어 있었습니다. 가로등이 많아 오로라를 보려면 5분 정도 차타고 나가면 됩니다

Great place to stay in town with views of Kirkjufell in the background. Easy parking with walkable distance to coffee shops, restaurants and grocery store. Our room was clean and comfy. Our only complaint was that we were told check-in was until 10pm, however, when we got off the Baldur ferry and arrived at 9pm, there was nobody at the desk, nobody answered the phone (we called numerous times) and nobody was at the coffee shop either (an alternative place to find someone to check in per their instructions). After awhile, we were very fortunate to find another couple coming back from their walk to let us in.

Good location. Would have an amazing view from the room if it wasn't foggy and storming this am (not pictured in photo- the mountains and ocean). Room is comfortable with a clean, modern bathroom. Room is on the small side. Bed quite comfortable. Nice common area and kitchen.
