Hotel was easy to find. Access to reception is through a flight of stairs, have to carry your heavy luggage. The room that was given to us smelled bad and noticed the toilet had not been cleaned; I immediately notified the receptionist and right away placed us in a better room and handled the situation. I wish I could give a better review, even after the issue was resolved, but I did not feel comfortable for the remainder of my stay (use of bathroom, eating in the restaurant).

조식을 알차게 주는 숙소

아침을 든든하게 먹고 갈 수 있어서 인상깊었던 숙소였습니다. 1층에 배정받으면 마을 전체 뷰를 따로 볼 수는 없으니 참고 바랍니다.

We had a really great experience here and the best mattresses we've found by far. This is the 5th night in Iceland for us and the previous 4 hotels the mattresses were not good at all. This hotel was lovely in every respect. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast they offered was probably the nicest one I've ever had - anywhere. Good water, good tv, good location, nice hotel :-)
