We booked 3 rooms for our family for 2 nights. Our stay was comfortable and clean - no frills, kind of place. The location is convenient for exploring Vík and Skogar, which we used as our 2-day base. Breakfast was great, a nice buffet of everything. We liked that they kept the coffee and tea bar open to enjoy all day and we used the lobby sitting area for playing board games (they have some there) and socializing. Hairdryers are communal, in a basket in the lobby, to use and return. We ate both dinners in VÍk and enjoyed their community swimming pool/hot tub/sauna about $10 usd each. There’s no restaurant currently on-site at the hotel. A few suggestions: add some outdoor furniture to their empty patio outside the front lobby and maybe some picnic tables around the property. They do have beautiful views to take in. Guests would enjoy that! Also, they wanted us to do a self check-in via an email, which we never received. We had to call a # and then wait for someone to come to check-in, since the email didn’t work. In addition, when we checked-out, two women were at the front desk, but didn’t bother to look away from their computer to say goodbye and ensure we had a nice stay, so we just left the key card. Part of traveling and retaining guests is having “a personal touch” aspect to hospitality. Meeting a local, having someone to inquire about suggestions/things to do, makes traveling better. Therefore, removing staff from a desk makes a no frills hotel, even colder. That’s just my opinion.
