Reviews of Hótel Dalvík

Great location, comfortable room, staff is very friendly. Loved that there is a kitchen. Everything is clean and neat

Nothing

I stayed in the hotel for two nights which allowed me to watch a football match and visit Grímsey Island. I had a room with a private bathroom, but others may choose to share a bathroom to get a lower price room.

Clean

Staff only spoke English.

A good stop for whale watching, within walking distance to Arctic Sea Tours, a gas station, and a famous nearby fish soup restaurant.

The bungalow unit has very basic facilities. Limited space for 4 persons

Not great. The information on Booking.com is misleading. The hotel to all extents and purposes was closed thus no bar or restaurant. My accommodation was in a hostel annex with shared bathroom and poorly equipped kitchen and my room could not be locked from the outside. Thankfully I only stayed one night.

Good location next to the pool, easy to reach

On the descriptions online they forgot to mention that in winter the hotel is actually closed, so there's no staff on site, and hardly any cleaning seems to be taking place. I had booked a bed in a dorm, was luckily alone, but the experience was weird – in winter, you stay in some sort of annex – bit smelly and rather spooky. Be prepared for some old Soviet block charme!

The hostel has a good location and ample parking spaces but it was very dirty, damp and cold. The old windows are letting the draft in and the heating did not work. The whole room and hall has a smell of damp as if the building was left underrated with humidity coming from the bathroom. The carpets were dirty and stained. The bed - each in a different style and the atmosphere in the room was as if it was up cycling place. Not worth staying in, needs refurbishment and some love put in

Clean and comfortable

The check in was strange. We got to the property and it was empty but there was a number to call. We called and messaged but no reply. We had nowhere to go so we camped in the car park in our van. A few hours later a guy pulled up and gave us the code to get in then he drove off. We were the only ones in the building. It was weird but we were out of the cold.

The breakfast was not good, the yoghurt was sour and overall not very pleasant.

Close to Grimsey Ferry, staff very nice. Clean with comfortable beds.

There was only 1 bathroom (with 1 toilet and 1 shower) for 4 shared bedrooms, so that made for a lot of waiting around for anyone to shower or use the toilet since only 1 person could use either one at a time.

Staff was very nice and the room and bathrooms were clean.

The mattress on the bed was very broken in and the town of Dalvik had very few food options. Also, the kitchen was locked and I could not use it.
