Please note: Travelocity says check-in is up to 11pm. This property closed check in at 10pm. However, they left a key and very good instructions because we called ahead. It’s a no-frills arrangement. We weren’t sure what to expect in as remote a part of the country as this, but the room was fine. Utilitarian is the word for it. 5 beds, 2 comfy chairs, and a shower/restroom. No table. Only one of the heaters seemed to work (but it’s a big room). And half the overhead lights didn’t appear to work. But at $400/night, I was honestly expecting a bit more. For $475/night, we rented a two-story, 2BR penthouse in Reykjavik the same week. However, it’s probably a market issue, and people need places to stay in that area. To be fair, we didn’t contact the owner about any of this, so they didn’t have a chance to address anything. We really just need a place to sleep and take off again in the morning, and this worked just fine.

The area is rather remote but the ideal place to see puffins up close -- literally at your feet from the viewing platform that the town has built next to the puffin nesting area. The breakfast and dinner at the hotel were very tasty!

The staff were very friendly. The guy who checked us in was very welcoming. Room was clean. Bed was pretty flat/thin. Not too comfy. Location only 9 mins away from puffin marina. Which is the reason we chose this place. Breakfast is included. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Great Stay

The booking confirmation stated that the check in closes at 11pm so I got there at 11 PM but there was a note saying check in closes at 10pm. Not to worry as the hotel left good instructions for me to be able to enter and get to my room. All good and much appreciated. The hotel was quiet, May must be the low season which was fine by me. Room was clean and comfortable, shower worked well and I had a good set of black out curtains which were much needed due to the light nights. Parking was straight outside the hotel and breakfast the next morning was basic but good. The staff member I saw was friendly and polite, and checking out was quick and easy. I got a good deal on this hotel and off the price is right I worked stay again. Recommended.

This was a lovely stay! Our room was just what we needed. Mike at the front desk was very helpful. We were going to wait to see the puffins until the next morning but were advised to go visit them that evening. Thank goodness we did!! Thousands of puffins to see. What a site. We went back in the morning and they were all gone hunting just as Mike had said. The drive out there was a little stressful but absolutely stunning! Highly recommend.

A quiet place near the Norwegian Sea. To reach this place is through long and winding road but worth the drive. Breakfast was good and the front desk lady was very accommodating and easy to talk to. There were sheep roaming in front of the property but never seen any getting too close to the accommodation. Must be very nice during summer because it’s a puffin area but during our stay in end of September they are all gone.

Good place to stay if in the area. Rooms were basic and clean. Had everything we needed. Breakfast was great and was a good start to the day. Only suggestion is to change the locks on doors as they are very loud and can be heard through when locking and unlocking.
