Hotel Dengan Bar di Iceland Barat, Iceland

An excellent fosshotel to stay at with amazing views of Stapafell mountain. Take a walk down to the harbour, when staying here. The front desk staff are very helpful, our room had a nice comfortable bed, with a good sized bathroom. Breakfast was very good at this hotel

Overall very good, for a reasonable price, they have new and clean facilities, with decent room space. Has quite environment and friendly staff. Its not 24 hour reception and breakfast could be better. Can also adjust the door of the corridor to be more queit as it's loud when close without paying attention.

Facilities good - food on the expensive side - good breakfast

Don't let the fact that this hotel is listed as a one star hotel put you off, I have stayed in 5 star hotels that are not as clean or welcoming. On arrival we received a friendly greeting, and although we were early we were able to go to our room. Although the rooms are not be biggest or packed with modern facilities, we again didn't need that. Who needs a TV when you have such stunning places to visit outside. As above the room was clean the beds were combatable, I asked for and received an extra pillow with no issues. The hotel is located close to the shops so provisions are not an issue and food can be cooked in the dining room, if you wish. We were there in off season so breakfast was not being served but a simple breakfast was provided in the mornings tea, coffee and hot chocolate all day. The sauna and hot tub were a great place to watch the northern lights. After a couple of days we were moved to a sea facing cabin, as we were staying a week again this was very clean and had the addition of a small kitchen and dining area. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily go back there.

I didn't actually stay here - word of warning for those considering....I had a reservation for July, 2023 and needed to cancel it at the cancellation deadline due to an unexpected change in plans. I emailed and phoned the hotel repeatedly (tried two different numbers); when they finally answered the phone after 5+ hours of trying over the course of 2 days I was assured that I could cancel without penalty and was asked to forward my earlier email for their records. I did so and got no response despite my request for confirmation. You guessed it - my card was charged despite their assurances and I'm now stuck trying to reach them again to reverse the charges. I've never before encountered a hotel that seemed so determined to be unreachable!

My husband and I spent 4 nights here to explore the area. We booked a family room with king bed and sofa which gave us extra room. We were comfy in the room. We were happy there was YouTube on the tv so we had plenty to watch. The room and hotel were clean. The breakfast buffet had a good variety although they didn’t keep the hot menu items hot like eggs, beans, bacon. Staff were friendly and helpful. We did a great whale watching tour in Olafvik, drove around the peninsula, walked the Hellnar trail and saw the nesting Kittihawks on the south side of the peninsula.

Hôtel très mal situé dans zone industrielle (rien à voir ou à faire aux alentours). Immense chambre avec kitchenette et très grande salle de bain. Très mauvaise odeur et forte chaleur à l'arrivée. Difficile d'aérer avec une fenêtre qui est bloquée à 5cm d'ouverture. Équipement : TV sans chaînes françaises. Ni clim, ni coffre, ni balcon. Bon wifi. Bouilloire avec thés + cafés. Dîner self-service (très bon dans grande salle). Entrées : soupe aux champignons, petits ramequins avec saumon ou jambon fumé ou crevette panée. Plat : pâtes, riz, légumes, saumon, poisson blanc, rosbif épais, viande blanche, etc. Dessert : Gâteau aux pommes, mousse chocolat, petits gâteaux, etc. Café ou thé en libre-service par machine. Pdj self bon.

Een mooie, schone, Amerikaanse stijl motelletje langs de weg. Het hotel is wel afgelegen maar handig voor reizigers die verder het schiereiland van Snaefells in willen reizen. Het ontbijt was relatief gevarieerd. De koffie was erg lekker. Vriendelijk personeel.

Extremely helpful staff in checkin. Beautiful room, very clean and warm, spacious and comfortable beds. Breakfast was delicious a wide range of dishes. Nearby wharf /ferry and excellent restaurants.

Abbiamo dormito in una delle piccole casette con tetto curvo che solo a vederle vale il prezzo, paiono uscite da film come Il signore degli Anelli. La ”casetta” famigliare ha un ambiente principale ed una microstanzetta in cui entra solo un letto (forse non adatta a persone claustrofobiche). In pratica è come essere in una sistemazione in tenda, ma con tetto e pareti di legno. C'è anche una bella sedia a dondolo ed un mini frigorifero (a mio avviso poco utile). Il prezzo è, per le quotazioni medie islandesi, molto basso. Al prezzo base va aggiunto quello di noleggio per lenzuola coperte ed asciugamani (se non li avete per conto vostro). Anche così mi pare che arrivavamo a circa un centinaio di euro. Il camping offre tutti i servizi che possiate desiderare, i bagni sono molto puliti (anche se sono pochi per la potenziale affluenza - in realtà non ho mai aspettato per andare al bagno) e ci sono due zone con cucina e sala dove mangiare. Io consiglio comunque l'eccellente ristorante con una magnifica vetrata con vista su cascate e natura. Staff molto gentile e disponibile. Veramente carino anche il Giardino dei Troll, perfetto per una passeggiata sia se avete bambini sia senza. é stato anche il primo posto dove abbiamo visto l'Aurora: se salite nella collinetta dove c'è il Giardino dei Troll non avete disturbi luminosi e potete godere dello splendore delle luci del Nord... Presenti anche delle vasche idromassaggio con acqua riscaldata. Non le abbiamo usate perchè erano sempre piene. Nelle vicinanze del camping però ci sono anche delle altre zone termali che consiglio, come Krauma. Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di tempo bello e temperature miti, ma certo se si deve andare al bagno di notte al freddo magari l'esperienza potrebbe non essere fantastica (ma ovviamente fa parte della vita da campeggio). Ci sono anche casette con bagni privati, ma il prezzo aumenta.

I loved this hotel! We had a view of the mountain. The rooms with the view of the sea were probably beautiful too. There were too good restaurants across the street. There was a beautiful trail to see the coastline right on the property. The staff was friendly and helpful. Only concern was the hot water went out very quickly at high use times. Such as after-dinner. They had signs that said so, or said to not take a long shower. So that was unfortunate. But I loved this hotel.

Nice set up with multiple cottages on one side of the road (further from the water) and the hotel on the other side (closer to the water). If view is important to you, then the hotel might have better access to water view as some of the cottages probably look at the buildings of the hotel. Luckily my cottage was at the east end (room 11) so my window had an unobstructed view of the water, and my door could see the hotel/water as well. Check in is at the Arnarstapi Center (where the restaurant is) and that’s also where you park your car. It’s a short 1-2 min walk to your cottage. But you are allowed to drive up to your cottage to unload luggage before parking your car a bit further. The inside is basic but lights were functional. Kettle, microwave, and mini fridge. We didn’t want to eat at the restaurant so bought a sandwich before coming here and microwaved it to heat it up. Would be nice if they provided basic utensils and plates. I had no problems with wifi as some others have had. Fast connection, could watch Netflix. It is true there is limited hot water (~5 min) but my partner and I just showered 1 hour apart at the end of the night. Both had hot water and with the expectation it would be short lived. It’s nearby to the trail by the waterfront including the stone bridge which was pretty. I would stay here again if I drove into the peninsula again.

Very helpful staff and the bed is really comfortable. The common areas are a bit dated and the bathroom is a problem in that the position of the sink makes it hard to use and the shower floods the bathroom unless you built a towel wall to contain the water to the shower but then you have sopping wet towels to deal with. The shower setup is the kind of thing you have to put up with in India and other 3rd world countries. This place is not close to any grocery stores so you have limited food options. I had the dinner buffet which was good but fairly expensive.
