"We were contacted a few weeks before our stay to be told that the hotel had been rented out to a private company. We were given 2 options including moving to the sister hotel 40 mins further, and given an upgraded room, or to an apartment on the same site. It was made clear that the apartment was an upgrade but that there were no staff on site and no breakfast available. We had chosen the hotel for its location overlooking the water so opted for the apartments. The apartment was spacious with lovely linen in the bedroom and plenty of towels. However, my apartment only had two coffee sachets and no pods despite there being a machine and no tea whereas my friend in an adjacent apartment had tea and coffee pods. The apartment looked clean although the floor was 'gritty' in places and the windows were filthy so the view of the ocean was a little hampered. The shower was lovely but it didn't drain well so I had to spend time mopping up only to find that my friend had the same problem. I was also charged for the room in Euros rather than the original ISK. Given that this was our 3rd most expensive hotel (for the original room) it was disappointing. Clearly the apartments hadn't really been prepared for the season and I expect we didn't get the usual experience there. It would have been better if we had been cancelled. Interestingly the other accommodation was cheaper than we'd paid when I looked. All in all disappointing but clearly would be much better when open!"

"This place has a comforting and homely atmosphere."

"The apartment was very nice with mountain views and the kitchen had everything that we needed, everything well marked with cooking oil, sugar, salt, spices coffee etc. The ad mentioned a full size fridge/freezer, there was only a small fridge, which was large enough for our needs for one night. It also mentioned toiletries but there was no shower gel, shampoo or conditioner, the host probably forgot. Very well decorated and presented studio, I would stay again if I visited this area again."
