"We were not able to stay at the Hotel Gigur, since Americans are not allowed to travel to Iceland and our airline cancelled our trip. I know they have a no-refund policy, but I would have thought there might be some forgiveness given the situation with the pandemic. Despite several tries, I was unsuccessful in getting a refund. "

10/10 Excellent
"Super convenient. Ten minutes walk, some of it is unprotected. We had two rooms, one triple. Both nice and spacious. Kettle in the room. Good firm bed. Breakfast starts at 4 am, we did not have any. Highly recommended."
