The location was perfect. The staff were excellent. The breakfast was good. My only crib would be that the hotel needs a bit of a makeover.

LOCATION

Pros: location
Cons: Its looking a bit tired now, it needs a bit of a refurb but it was clean and tidy for our short stay.
Location: A short walk from the main town activities and not too far from the harbour.
Brilliant location for access to everything, bus stop close by. ideal for the fire work celebrations on new years eve.

Dear Ilea, I am sorry to hear that your stay was not up to satisfaction. When you make a booking through Expedia it does state that our hotel does not have a lift as this is nearly a 100 year old building. However our staff at the front desk are always more than happy to help carry luggage up the stairs for our guests. I do hope you had a great trip here in Iceland and deepest apologize that your stay with us was not up to satisfaction.

Die Lage der Unterkunft ist perfekt. Das Gebäude wiederum ist nicht mehr so frisch und einige Teile benötigen eine Renovation.
