Literally a college dorm that is used as a hotel when students are out for summer. Shares parking with the botanical gardens. They are free and worth a visit.

A very modern and clean hotel. All sites of interest to us were in easy walking distance of the hotel. Many open spaces and brilliant views of the fjord from the bedroom window. A short 15 minute walk to the harbour and then caught a boat to see whales (we saw three species). Also an easy walk to the church, high street and old town.

Great hotel! Clean and quiet. Free parking. They do serve breakfast for 3,400 isk per person and they have a dinner buffet for 8,900 isk per person. We thought this was a bit expensive but if you want food right there that’s an option. Would recommend booking a stay !

Inexpensive, but the sound proofing of the room was very bad, people checking in at 3.30 am woke us up and we heard every single one coming and going. The bad was not great and the pillows aweful. The breakfast was very nice.

Amazing Location, very convenient

Nice modern and clean hotel. It’s almost a suite with microwave and a fridge. Very spacious. Most of all, the location is very convenient. A few minutes walk to the church, botanical garden, and downtown. No need to drive to go to downtown.

Its a fine property, but you really need to pay for the private room as this is also a college dorm. If you do a shared space it will be with college kids. Breakfast was good and rooms were clean and well maintained.

Comfortable beds. Good location near the city center and next to the swimming pool. Too few showers in the common areas. The last floor, for example, has only 1 shower and 2 WCs for 10 rooms (some of which are triple rooms) which is more than insufficient at busy times (morning, evening).

We were originally assigned a student room with bathroom down the hall. We asked for a better room and were transferred to the "hotel" side of the complex. The front desk staff was kind and very informative, almost entertaining. We enjoyed the area.

The property is great, but difficult to spot from the local roads; and the maps application took me to the wrong place (the school campus). The rooms were spacious, so that was good! Old school keys are interesting touch!

The only thing to complain was the restaurant. I choose the buffet. But most of the dishes were cold since nobody switched on the re-heater or the were partially broken. Apart of that the hotel was fulfilling my needs, clean showers, clean and cozy room.

Had everything I needed and the price was fantastic. There is no soundproofing so it really comes down to luck as to who the other guests are. I was lucky in that the floor was quiet but I can see how it could get loud. Everything was super clean and the room was comfortable. No frills and cheap and thats exactly what I was looking for.

Basic hotel with a large parking lot. Our hotel room was in front of the hotel's garbage, the sounds of music carried into the room right from the morning. Also sounds of the corridor could also be heard clearly in the room. We dont take breakfast because it cost too much. Otherwise, a good clean hotel.
