Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was just perfect. The rooms were spotless and exceptionally comfortable, albeit with shared bathroom facilities. The Scandinavian old-fashioned decor added a touch of charm with beautiful objects scattered around. The service was impeccable, reflecting the best of rural Icelandic culture. The location, right in the heart of the old village on Flatey, offered a unique and serene experience that truly felt like 'getting away from it all'. The dining experience was delectable, and the facilities were top-notch.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room I stayed in was large and lovely but felt a bit cramped under the sloping roof. The service was hit or miss, with some staff being very accommodating while others seemed indifferent. The unique location on a small island provided a feeling of being away from it all, but it could feel isolated. The dining experience was good overall, but I wished for more variety. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
