Nice hotel and good service
A large hotel located next to the bay. The newly completed right wing has a novel layout, comfortable accommodation and sea views.

We were originally assigned a student room with bathroom down the hall. We asked for a better room and were transferred to the "hotel" side of the complex. The front desk staff was kind and very informative, almost entertaining. We enjoyed the area.

Its a fine property, but you really need to pay for the private room as this is also a college dorm. If you do a shared space it will be with college kids. Breakfast was good and rooms were clean and well maintained.

The only thing to complain was the restaurant. I choose the buffet. But most of the dishes were cold since nobody switched on the re-heater or the were partially broken. Apart of that the hotel was fulfilling my needs, clean showers, clean and cozy room.

Had everything I needed and the price was fantastic. There is no soundproofing so it really comes down to luck as to who the other guests are. I was lucky in that the floor was quiet but I can see how it could get loud.
Everything was super clean and the room was comfortable. No frills and cheap and thats exactly what I was looking for.

The property is great, but difficult to spot from the local roads; and the maps application took me to the wrong place (the school campus).
The rooms were spacious, so that was good!
Old school keys are interesting touch!

Great hotel! Clean and quiet. Free parking. They do serve breakfast for 3,400 isk per person and they have a dinner buffet for 8,900 isk per person. We thought this was a bit expensive but if you want food right there that’s an option. Would recommend booking a stay !
