Don't stay here. The service is terrible. We booked two rooms. We got the codes. One worked, the other one didn't. We couldn't get in touch with anyone of the hotel until someone from another hotel helped us. The guy who talked to us try to blame us saying we used the wrong code, when he tried to open it remotely he failed and then reseted the code with accepting it didn't work. DON'T STAY HERE. If you have a trouble nobody will help you.

Very clean place with a nice large kitchen and living space. Really enjoyed the stay. The room is a little small but good enough for two. Location is good, near netto and the whale watching.

Really good location in Husavik, we were pleased with the room which was large, comfy bed and a nice modern bathroom. However, slightly confusing whether any breakfast (in a bag) is included and this caused us a problem the next morning - alongside the hairdryer actually blowing up whilst using it. Still, good value and we felt comfortable there.

Stayed here one night on our trip. This hotel was an old post office, remodeled into a hotel. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Shower had nice strong pressure and was large. Lots of plugs in the room. Breakfast was included in a basket in the refrigerator, however, I guess we slept too late (0900) and the refrigerator was empty and we only could eat dry cereal that was on the counter. I guess the other guests assumed each person got a basket and it wasn't by room. So they should fix this by being more clear to their customers. Possibly label each basked with the last name of the guest? We had looked in the refrigerator the night prior and peaked into a basked and were excited to eat it only to find all food gone by the time we entered the kitchen. Disappointing for us. Also, the code to the bldg access never arrived, so we had to call the host to get instructions on how to access the room. Town of Husick cute and only a couple minute walk to main street where whale museum and walk watching tours departed. Good fish and chips restaurant below the whale watching areas on the harbor.

At the outset, I would consider this a high-end hostel and not a "hotel". But that is not a negative (just may not be for everyone). Great communication from the management re: entry code/entry details etc in advance of our stay, and we requested 2 beds which they were great and accommodated. Great location (can walk to town). Clean rooms, comfortable beds and pillows, and clean common kitchen area for coffee/meals etc. B'fast is included and individual baskets are organized in the fridge for guests each morning with hard boiled eggs, meats etc, and bread and coffee is also available. Only two issues we encountered but neither would prevent us from staying again: (1) one morning there were no coffee mugs available and (2) our shower leaked a bit into the main area of the bathroom. Again, neither issue would prevent us from staying again in the future.

Self check in and communication with owner was no problem. Common area with kitchen and tv was good. If there are occupation of all 8 rooms the breakfast will be a bit crowded these days. By our visiting all sorted well out our two days staying. Sufficient breakfast with eggs, skyr, fruits, bread, cheese, ham and different marmelades. Coffee machine gave us all as it promised. Wafers to make was a nice add on. Wifi excellent. Bathroom private and good and no bad smell. Less than 5 min walk to harbour center. Vinbudin to buy beer or wine downstairs.|Nice self check in place.
