Hotel awards

In May 2011, the UK's Channel 4 TV programme 'Vacation Vacation Vacation' visited the hotel and had this to say:

  • "It feels like a private individual has got a hotel and he’s trying to make it as nice as they possibly can."
  • "As part of the hotel service, the staff is always on watch for the Northern lights and let the guests know when they appear, even during the night."
  • "It is an eccentric hotel but everything there is very nice and everybody is very friendly. It has an identity that’s all its own. So if you ... fly to Iceland and come to this place then they will repay you in bucket loads."
