The check in went well and we took the front desk clerk’s recommendation and visited the pub down the street before they closed for the night after we checked in. It was a unique place and we tried some local spirits.

Really loved the buffet dinner we had. It’s the best meal we have had during our entire stay (15 days) at Iceland. This country style hotel is a gem. We enjoyed our stay tremendously.

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.

Puffins Central!!
Amazing spot to see the Puffins… the staff was wonderful. It was on the pricey side. Our most expensive stop on the Ring Road by far.
Very small town, not much there, except an awesome Puffin experience. That’s must be the big price tag… and it was worth it!

Cozy and Friendly Place!
The hotel provided flexibility to split into another room. We arrived around dinner time and they had a delicious fish stew buffet with lots of veggies and a salad. The staff were all super friendly. The breakfast was also very hearty and they provided baggies in case you wanted to pack a light sandy snack for when you are exploring the area. A very cozy family feel, great for large groups!

We got warm reception from the owner. Since we were very late after viewing the puffins, he allowed us to make a simple meal for ourselves in the breakfast area. The room is comfy and the breakfast was very nice. Thanks.
