The hottub and sauna were a perfect way to end the evening. Since we were leaving early and missed breakfast, they packed us a to go bag. Was very kind! Made our first night in Iceland a great experience.

Staffs are great, checkin was smooth, and it also included breakfast. The building is bit old so you can hear other rooms easily. In addition, the second floor has very low ceiling, so you can even bump to it when sit up on the bed. Hot water has a extremely strong sulphur smells. Considering the price, I would give it 3*.

Roomy space for three beds. There was Netflix on tv so that was a plus! Unfortunately we weren’t able to get cold drinking water from the tap and had to go down to the bar to get it.

The hotel Hafnarfjall was just terrible. The condition of both rooms (Rooms 4 & 5) was not clean, the bedding was worn, and the bathroom needed a major cleaning and upgrade. This hotel was the worst hotel on our 17-day trip to Iceland. I woke up with many bite marks on my body staying in Room 4 near the twin bed by the window which I have documented, most likely from this hotel. In the morning, coffee was instant coffee and not made fresh.

A great experience in a private cabin, access to hot tub, with wonderful views, close to amenities, restaurants, etc. It was pretty windy when we stayed at Hafnarfjall so we stayed in but heard others rave about the shoreline walk, too.

You have the best of both worlds at this hotel. One side you have a view of the ocean and can walk to the beach. On the other side you have majestic mountain views. It was quiet and very cozy. A continental breakfast was included and provided a nice start to each day. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Great location
Room was great as long as you don’t mind bumping your head. The room we had had a severely sloped roof. My friend had to pull the bed over to make sure she wouldn’t bonk her head in the middle of the night. But you did get great views of the mountain that way. My friend did also get a bed that rocked a bit. It was weird. But the location is great and the atmosphere of the building was super nice.

The photos on the site were extremely misleading, as the rooms there look exceptional and clean, whereas the room we were given (private bathroom) was more like a Motel 6 room, with carpeted floors. Nothing like what we expected based on the advertisement.

We stayed at one of the cabins by the lake. They are super small, but they have everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. The bathroom sink is very small, and not practical. But, overall, this was one of our favorite places to stay in Iceland.

Booked Shared Bathroom. by Mistake....Check your B
I made the mistake of booking a shared bathroom. check carefully if you prefer an ensuite. the room was small roof at a sharp angle and could only stand in 1/2 the room. It was clean. Owner friendly. Hotel is over the bridge out of town
