Comfortable location. Very clean and neat. View to the sea (but it is not close, or to the mountains). Breakfast is very modest - bread, cheese, ham, cooked egg. Breakfast is not available. The common shower is combined with the toilet - one for 4 rooms.

The service attitude is a bit poor, the room is fairly large, there is a kitchen, and you can park at the door. The geographical location is relatively remote. The journey in winter has to cross the snow-capped mountains, and the driving skills must be good. In the small town, there is only one supermarket to buy things, and there is no place to play nearby.

Overall very good, for a reasonable price, they have new and clean facilities, with decent room space. Has quite environment and friendly staff. Its not 24 hour reception and breakfast could be better. Can also adjust the door of the corridor to be more queit as it's loud when close without paying attention.

Nice set up with multiple cottages on one side of the road (further from the water) and the hotel on the other side (closer to the water). If view is important to you, then the hotel might have better access to water view as some of the cottages probably look at the buildings of the hotel. Luckily my cottage was at the east end (room 11) so my window had an unobstructed view of the water, and my door could see the hotel/water as well. Check in is at the Arnarstapi Center (where the restaurant is) and that’s also where you park your car. It’s a short 1-2 min walk to your cottage. But you are allowed to drive up to your cottage to unload luggage before parking your car a bit further. The inside is basic but lights were functional. Kettle, microwave, and mini fridge. We didn’t want to eat at the restaurant so bought a sandwich before coming here and microwaved it to heat it up. Would be nice if they provided basic utensils and plates. I had no problems with wifi as some others have had. Fast connection, could watch Netflix. It is true there is limited hot water (~5 min) but my partner and I just showered 1 hour apart at the end of the night. Both had hot water and with the expectation it would be short lived. It’s nearby to the trail by the waterfront including the stone bridge which was pretty. I would stay here again if I drove into the peninsula again.

Perfectly fine but if you’re budget conscious, this isn’t the place to spend extra $$. After looking at options on the peninsula, this seemed like the best option, even though it was more expensive than other options. The view was great but not really worth paying more when all we really wanted was good food and a comfy place to sleep. Did not love our meals, pretty bland overall. Also, the pillows on the bed were flat. The room was clean and the staff were friendly, but not a great value for what you get.

The sea view room has a good view and the restaurant has a good view. The restaurant is not open at noon but serves coffee, tea and small bread throughout the day. There is a bit awkward when the room needs to pass through the restaurant. Overall it was great and the service staff was especially friendly!

I loved this restful hotel by the water. It was so nice to be able to watch the sheep grazing next to the shore and pass by the window in the bar area. We had a comfortable room with a little balcony that we couldn't access. The room wasn't very big, but the bed was very nice, and we got a good night's sleep. I also liked the shower. Dinner and breakfast in the restaurant were fine, and we also enjoyed some wine in the bar. I wished we could stay another night and just sleep, or read a book, watching the water and the sheep while sipping wine. What a beautiful hotel!
