"Loved staying here! Just 8 min drive into Husavik, clean and comfy rooms, great breakfast, lovely staff. It's also a place you can do horseback riding tours. We didn't have time, but if I find myself there again I will book one!"
"If you are traveling to Husavik, this is a great option. Conveniently located within a short walk from the harbor (and the restaurants and whale watching excursions), with ample parking and clean rooms. Breakfast was good, and plenty of variety for families"
"Great hotel and location!!! Perfect to have as a home base to then go out and see the area. Really close to gas station and market. The only thing I would say - and is not a problem with the hotel - is that the doors are pretty heavy and most guests don’t take into consideration to close them carefully, so when they slam shut it makes quite a loud noise."
"I had a great, comfortable stay here. The property is very clean and well maintained. Great location and a few steps away from the harbor. The hosts are very pleasant, helpful & make sure your stay is comfortable. Will definitely return."
"I and my wife stayed a night recently. Host was friendly and property was clean, comfortable and facing river :) beautiful 3 horses in the yard. Near to Godafoss and other nearby attractions."
