I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice and spacious with two queen beds, but lacked some kitchen essentials. The service was absolutely wonderful, especially over the Christmas holiday season. The location was really nice, right across from the marina and close to restaurants. The dining experience was superb, offering a variety of delicious options. Overall, a lovely place to stay with some minor drawbacks.

Staying in the auxiliary wing across the street, I found the hotel to be a cozy spot during my 12-day Ring Road trip. The pub offered a nice selection of steaks and seafood, but the room location was in an old Soviet-like building on the other side, away from the main building featured on the website.

Rooms

7.0

The room in the auxiliary wing was spacious and comfortable, though not in the main building as advertised. It was a bit dated but clean.

Service

6.0

The service was a bit inconsistent; while they promptly addressed our issues, there were moments of discomfort like staff entering without knocking. The numbering system for room and floors was also confusing.

Location

8.0

The location was convenient for exploring the western shore of the peninsula and near the national park, ideal for an overnight stop or activities. However, noise from cars passing by could be heard at times.

Dining

The dining options were decent but not exceptional. The continental breakfast was basic, but the bakery across the street compensated with a good variety, especially for pastries.

I was initially surprised to find myself staying in an old Soviet-like building across the road instead of the main hotel building shown on the website, but the room was indeed spacious as promised. The hotel is conveniently located with cool shops and restaurants nearby, but the noise from passing cars could be bothersome at times. The service was a bit hit-and-miss, with a staff member entering my room without knocking, but there were pleasant moments like having my hot water flask filled for the day. The dining options were on the simpler side, although there's a bakery just across the street for more variety. Despite these quirks, the value for money was reasonable, and the experience was overall decent.
