Only location is good. Rented a two bedroom with 3 beds. there is no 2nd bedroom. just a portion of attic only for a two beds. No one can sleep in that bed because there is an uncovered sky light just within 2 fts of the bed. no elevator.

The hotel is located in the center of the town. They have serval buildings in the town, and you would receive information about which building you would stay. They have a restaurant to offer delicious local food.

The property was quaint as a remodeled bank and comfortable with easy walking access around the town. The room was very clean but a bit constricted with the two very narrow beds. There was a bit of noise as others in the hotel closed doors but otherwise was a very quiet and comfortable stay.

Nice hotel; very friendly/helpful staff, very clean, generously sized room, good food. Building was cold and couldn’t really get the room warm all night. Town is very small, very limited options outside of hotel.

This is a converted bank to guest rooms. Room was decorated with an “antique” style. Everything thing spotless, shower a bit small. No staff on premises. Checkin at local eatery quick and easy, but I felt the reception person was a bit condescending. Only had to see him once, so past that. Small fishing town , not much to do. Nice meal at El Grillo.

No one at the reception area
Hotel is a historic building. Room is in good size.
When we arrived (5pm), there was no one at the reception area. We had to make an international call in front of the building. Good thing is the receptionist arrived quickly.

Cool, slightly spooky (but added to the fun of it) hotel property. Comfortable.
Seydisfjordur is stunning, although slightly spoilt when the hordes of cruise ship passengers arrive in the village.

This town is a real gem and staying at the old Bank was a wonderful experience. The drive here was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen.

Nice hotel, but not sure why we visited
Nice property and comfortable room, though it was very hot on arrival and we needed to leave a large window open for some hours. TBH, no fault of the hotel, we were underwhelmed by the town.
