Had a front sea view room which was lovely. Friendly welcome on arrival. Great location. Breakfast was okay, plentiful, but in hindsight we'd probably pick something up elsewhere. Recommended.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was honestly disappointing. We cancelled our reservation more than one month in advance due to a serious and documented family emergency. Despite providing explanations and supporting documentation, the hotel refused both any refund and even a simple travel voucher for a future stay. What shocked us the most was not the financial aspect, but the complete lack of empathy and human understanding shown throughout the communication. Policies are important, of course, but flexibility and compassion in exceptional situations should also be part of hospitality. Very disappointing customer care experience.

Our room had a beautiful view over the bay and the bed was comfortable, but bathroom fittings very tired. Breakfast (3000isk per person) was minimal - children's choice of cereal, no hot food, dried out bread and poor quality coffee. Would have been better to go to a café in town! However, the young woman on reception was delightful and helped carry my bag up the steep stairs - thank you!

Response from the property

Hi Helen, sorry to hear about your experience with breakfast. We'll look into why you weren't offered hot foods. On slower mornings we don't cook warm foods in batch, instead making them on demand. Perhaps there was some confusion regarding that. Dried bread should have been thrown out and replaced for sure though. Regarding coffee - we now have a coffee machine for guests to use and enjoy a variety of hot drinks. Best regards Hótel Húsavík management

The room & hotel was a big let down. There was a poop stain on the sheet, we ran out of toilet paper & there was no extra in the room, bar had poor choice of liquor, there is attendant on premises for a lot of the time - there weee a few times we needed towels & toilet paper & could nothing anyone & the expensive breakfast was a rip off , & the rate is not close to worth it - all of this I could get- your on the edge of tge Earth - but the soiled sheet is inexcusable!

The hotel is easy to find and it’s a short walk to the town. It’s right next to Jaja ding dong bar (Eurovision movie fans!) and you get free entry to the Eurovision exhibition there if you show your hotel booking.Room was spacious enough for 2, clean and got everything we need. Breakfast was included in our booking and it had a decent spread. Very easy check in and check out so no complaints there.

I've stayed here a couple of times and always had a great experience. The Ding Dong bar is so fun and as a huge Eurovision fan, the museum next door is such a plus 🤩

Located in a quiet neighborhood over looking the harbor, comfortable clean rooms, very helpful staff, and a lovely family library and historic artifacts in the spacious dining room. This is also the home of the Ja Ja Ding Dong Bar and Eurovision Exhibition, which unfortunately were closed during my winter visit. Geosea is nearby and opens at noon in the winter. I look forward to returning for a longer stay.
