This was a good stop on the ring road when there are not many options in the north. Room was clean, cozy comfortable and adequate. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was very good. Breakfast was greatly appreciated, but there was not as many options as other hotels we had stayed at previously. Overall a good choice for a one-night stay.

The place was a bit rustic, but we enjoyed our stay. The attached restaurant was good and served a simple but nice breakfast. The hot water in the bathroom gave off a sulfur odor due to - I think - geothermal heating. Overall, though, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

I liked that it had a restaurant and close to the road. I don’t like that it was hard to get luggage up to room and the beds were very uncomfortable.

Great stay at North West!

Had a lovely one night stay at North West. Great service from lovely staff. Our room was clean and inviting, and the bed comfortable. The food we had in the restaurant was absolutely delicious! I will be dreaming about the parmesan & garlic bread sticks for a long time. The bathroom was small, but no complaints as to cleanliness or functionality.

Property sits by itself on Ring Road. Generally overpriced, as are most rooms in rural Iceland. Heat was insufficient (even for August). The smaller window lacked a blackout curtain (which matters in August). Dinner and breakfast were fine. Bed was comfortable.

It wasn’t clean. And it was right on the highway so it was too loud to open the windows. Although diner was good the included breakfast was meager at best. It really needs a good scrub.
