Easy check in and check out. Restaurant within walk-in distance. Kitchen was a bit crowded so I am glad we didn’t plan to cook. Just a few minutes away from beautiful view of the water and sunset. We drove for about 5-10 minutes and got to see northern lights. It’s located in a cute small town. Highly recommend.

Great place. Large room, Icelandic “double” room (two single beds put together). Large shared kitchen and a good location in town. My only complaint is that the smoke alarm went off at 2AM for no reason and stopped after about 15 seconds so my sleep wasn’t great
