Best Hotels near Hælið Café og safn, Eyjafjardarsveit

I have stayed for one night as part of a tour in this hotel. This is a basic hotel with decent accommodation good enough for a stopover for the night. Dinner and breakfast were included as part of the group booking. Dinner was decent, nothing special, and nothing bad. Did the trick. Breakfast was more of chaos as the hotel seems to cater to a lot of groups and not surprisingly everyone come to eat at the same time which the dining room really cannot accommodate. It was crowded and the staff could not keep up with provisioning the food. My biggest pet peeve about this hotel (and many in Iceland) is the instance of using a shower curtain to close off the shower. But with such a small shower the curtain without fail flies into the shower into you which makes the exercise of taking a shower very frustrating. All in all, it was fine for a one-night stopover.

My husband, teenage daughter, and I enjoyed staying one night in a triple (a queen bed and a twin bed) with a private bath. This modern hotel with a Scandanavian feel is centrally located, including close to the beautiful Botanical Garden and the harbour area. The room is large, clean and well appointed. There's plenty of room in the closets as well. The bathroom was good sized as well. The breakfast was a combination of hot and cold dishes, so we filled up until dinner. The hotel was packed with tour groups, but it was quiet at night. The hotel staff was helpful and courteous. When we needed to arrange for a reimbursement of our cancelled whale watch due to bad weather, the hotel manager graciously placed the call to the company and explained to them in Icelandic what our inquiry was about (we received the reimbursement).

Guesthouse in ottima posizione, pulita, camere accoglienti. Un paio di suggerimenti: è difficile effettuare il check in - è obbligatorio chiamare al momento dell'arrivo. Orario di check in non chiaro, sul sito riporta ora 6 PM, la casa riporta 4 PM, al telefono dicono 5 PM... Per il resto tutto bene, consiglio la visita.

Very mixed feeling about this place. In the one hand I love what they are trying to do, but on the other hand they let themselves down so much. We checked in for one night (I don’t think I could actually spend more than one night in this place). Check in is a bit different, they text you a room number and key code. (Previous comments around that they don’t actually change the room key code). On check in the bed had only been made up for one person so we that had to be fixed, unfortunately by the time we realised the remote didn’t work for the tv the reception lady had left. The room was pretty small, the bed was shoved up against the wall and there was no wear to sit. We both had one bag each and there was not enough room. In addition to this, there is construction work in from and to the side of the hotel, I think previously they had made mention of water views, but the new construction will block all that out. No breakfast was included unlike everywhere else we stayed in Iceland. Wouldn’t stay here again, we stayed in Mytven the previous night and I wished we had just stayed up there longer. As mention if they re designed the rooms it would be much better.
