    1. Nobody at reception on arrival. As a consequence, I was unable to confirm whether or not breakfast was included in room price. In the event, I slept through to after 10am and missed breakfast the 1st night. 2. Restaurant was open the 1st night, but no meals could be served. Restaurant closed the 2nd night.

    Location convenient to bus stop and eating places in Runavik. Staff friendly when present.

    The bathroom could be updated a bit more as the shower curtain can be annoying and doesn't stop the bathroom floor from getting wet during the shower.

    We stayed here last year but wanted to stay longer this year as part of our honeymoon to experience more of the area. It didn't disappoint. The location is great, making it a cheaper alternative a short drive outside of the capital. The breakfast has a good offering with a few homemade pastries. The carrot French bread was a personal favourite for me and my wife. The hotel has a really nice and calm atmosphere with friendly staff. The restaurant has basic offering but gives an alternative to the other few restaurants in the vicinity.

    Bathroom!!! Instead of a shower door, there’s a horrible, smelly curtain — after taking a shower, the entire bathroom is flooded. The bathroom itself is small and has an unpleasant smell. Also: no coffee from the espresso machine at breakfast (the machine is there, behind the bar, but not available to guests). The coffee from the thermos is awful. Too few lunch/dinner options in the restaurant — only four dishes available.

    The room is small, but this information is clearly stated in the listing. Friendly staff, good and varied breakfast.

    The toilet is not properly cleaned; there are still some waste remnants. The sink seems to have drainage issues — water tends to accumulate and remain in the basin for quite a while.

    Staff is friendly and helpful. Very good location.

    Nothing, as everything was great and met our expectations.

    The location was excellent and had stunning views of the harbour and the mountains behind it. The hotel was centrally located in the town on the main street with a bus stop just outside and the football stadium (for those interested) just a 100 metres or so up the road. The breakfast was superb with an extensive range of fresh things to eat. The setting was nice too. The staff were excellent, and as our flight was delayed and got there late, they left our key in an envelope on the desk with information about the hotel attached.

    I was boiling alive for two nights. I was blessed with a rare warm spell and the rooms facing the water are so ridiculously hot even with the window open. I had to pour water over my head at 4am! No fans. Please buy fans, hotel. It would be such an easy fix. I know hot weather is rare here but my god it was the worst

    Wonderful staff, restaurant and location… it’s a great place to stay!! But please beware of hot days!!

    Rooms on the top floor can get quite hot on sunny days, but don't worry, there won't be many of them. Birds that start singing very early in the morning.

    Easy check-in procedure (we arrived around midnight, and the room key was waiting for us), very comfortable beds, and a good restaurant.

    Our room hasnt been used for some time before our arrival so it got a bit dirty over time. After bringing it up, Greek guys did a fantastic job to prepare it for us.

    Great place centrally located in Runavik main street. Spacious room with all needed. Very good breakfast served and run by Greek couple whoa re super friendly and helpful. Restaurant on site serves very good meals.

    The door at the end of the corridor, near my room, was loudly closed very late at night and early morning every day. Staff also loudly closed this door and the door to a staff/maintenance room further along the corridor. Both of these things, as well as a loud staff area outside at the back of the hotel, made sleep very difficult. Being asked for full payment on check-in isn't the most welcoming first impression either. Hard to recommend and I wouldn't stay here again purely for the difficulties I had in sleeping.

    Great location, free parking
