We checked in behind a bus So check in with slow. The guests staying at the property were very loud running up and down the hallway and slamming doors close to midnight. The property itself is in a beautiful location. I would not stay at a property with communal bathrooms again.

Staff was very friendly and gave a tour upon arrival. Property and setting were beautiful. Hot tub at the end of day looking over the fjord was amazing. Breakfast was the best we had by far in Iceland.

Be forewarn
I am very sensitive about writing a negative review for I’m in the service industry and know how reviews can be bologna, but you should know what you’re getting with a stay here. The service was spectacular. Everyone that worked there was super nice, the breakfast was very good and the property was beautiful. The rooms, while boring, we’re very spacious and the beds were cozy. The bathrooms are shared bathrooms and I knew that going in. I was ok with it and if you’re accustom to it I’m sure it’ll be fine but my wife wasn’t. The bathrooms were relatively clean but the shower drain needed a plunging as the water pooled up around my feet during my shower, gross! Here’s why I wouldn’t stay here again. The hotel consists of two interior hallways with maybe ten rooms in each. The minute we got into our room and closed the door I knew sleep would be tough. It is impossible to close any doors without the locks making a loud banging sound. The hallway acts as an echo chamber amplifying the sound and it is very loud inside your room. Every time anyone left their room to use the bathroom or whatever, you heard that loud banging sound in your room. As well, anyone talking while in the hallway sounded like they were in your room with you. Sleep was hard to come by with the semi constant noise issues. We were only there one night thankfully for I would’ve found another place to go so I could sleep if we’d been booked longer.

Hot tub was nice. Hallways can get noisy and shared bathrooms during the pandemic are more risky
