Location on the water was beautiful and relaxing and a quick drive over to puffin island! Breakfast provided was able to cater to just about anyone’s dietary restrictions.

The area is rather remote but the ideal place to see puffins up close -- literally at your feet from the viewing platform that the town has built next to the puffin nesting area. The breakfast and dinner at the hotel were very tasty!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
It's cozy, room was nothing too special but totally fine for 4 of us (we had the room with 5 twin beds). We enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was pretty good and included. I had read another review where someone said they ran out of food by 8:30 (it's served 6-9) but there seemed to be a lot of guests when we stayed (parking lot completely full) and yet plenty of breakfast. I arrived to breakfast at 8:30, my wife and kids actually got there by 8:55 and the staff was kind and let them eat too. Great stay.

The staff were very friendly. The guy who checked us in was very welcoming. Room was clean. Bed was pretty flat/thin. Not too comfy. Location only 9 mins away from puffin marina. Which is the reason we chose this place. Breakfast is included. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Really loved the buffet dinner we had. It’s the best meal we have had during our entire stay (15 days) at Iceland. This country style hotel is a gem. We enjoyed our stay tremendously.

The check in went well and we took the front desk clerk’s recommendation and visited the pub down the street before they closed for the night after we checked in. It was a unique place and we tried some local spirits.

A quiet place near the Norwegian Sea. To reach this place is through long and winding road but worth the drive. Breakfast was good and the front desk lady was very accommodating and easy to talk to. There were sheep roaming in front of the property but never seen any getting too close to the accommodation. Must be very nice during summer because it’s a puffin area but during our stay in end of September they are all gone.

Puffins Central!!

Amazing spot to see the Puffins… the staff was wonderful. It was on the pricey side. Our most expensive stop on the Ring Road by far. Very small town, not much there, except an awesome Puffin experience. That’s must be the big price tag… and it was worth it!
