Eyja Guldsmeden Hotel
The friendly staff, cozy atmosphere of the common areas, and the ocean and mountain view of the bedroom made our stay special. The breakfast was delicious with organic and well prepared with local ingredients. The lentils soup and panini were also superb!

Hotel Aska
The room was nice, bathroom was small. One recommendation I would make is to put some hooks on the wall or something to hang coats. Since space is tight in the room, hooks would have been very helpful.
