Excellent location

Invited upon checkin to see the Museum regarding French fishing history housed in the building..was excellent! Room facing the fjord had small deck with chairs, was lovely to have a chance to sit right by water. Bed, bathroom, all excellent. Parking very near door. Did not have breakfast, price seemed high. Front desk not manned it a.m., supposed to find staff in dining area in another building to give key, no one there, finally knocked on back door to be able to hand key over. No problem really tho. A very nice place to spend our evening.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was wonderful! friendly, helpful, and quick to make things right. The hotel itself was spotless, and the rooms had excellent blackout curtains, which is so important in Iceland during summer.

The only hiccup was with our room booking. We had reserved one room with three beds, but when we arrived they said it was only booked for one bed. I showed my confirmation, and it seemed to be a mix-up on their end with a double booking. They upgraded us to two separate bedrooms with queen beds, which was very comfortable. However, the following night they moved us again into a room with three beds once it became available. Switching rooms two nights in a row was a little inconvenient, but they were apologetic and made up for it with a complimentary meal and discounts on food and drinks.

Overall, it was a lovely stay with just that one bit of hassle at the start.

Really interesting hotel in great setting

It's an interesting hotel, utilising former French hospital buildings and containing an interesting musuem about the French sailors, mainly from Brittany who spent half the year in tough conditions fishing along the Icelandic coast.

The receptionist was friendly, informative and welcoming. Our room was over the road (free parking outside) with a view over the fjord. The room was spacious and modern with good black out curtains and a fab view.

We booked into the French restaurant withon the hotel and both enjoyed our meals. Breakfast was also enjoyable with a good range ot items which were stocked up regularly.

Neither the hotel or the restaurant are cheap - nothing in Iceland is cheap! However it was a pleasant quiet night. NB Nothing to do with the hotel but the fish industry locally is still very much alive and so we had a strong whiff of fish when outside. Doesn’t take away from the great views and setting.

Miserable stay!

Miserable! We were put in a handicap room (I wasn’t aware until after we noticed the bathroom) and were on the ground level. I would understand if we were checking in early or late, but that wasn’t the case. Being on the ground floor means constant noises from above and even under (restaurant). Chairs sliding on the hard floor, feet stomping from above, slamming of doors (our room door needed an extra hard push to close) and this was until 11pm! Lots of basic items were broken (hot water pot, handle for towel heater (disappointed I couldn’t use it), trash can step didn’t open lid, hair dryer works for 30 secs and then you wait for 2 mins for a reset, phone didn’t have dial tone to call reception which is across street, bed was hard like sleeping on floor, room door needed an extra hard push to close (stranger opened our door by mistake since it wasn’t shut. Luckily I was decent) and the bathroom..ugg! The shower had a curtain in the corner and water got all over the floor. I don’t understand but noticed out here the shower design is cramped and no doors. Also, trying to fill up water bottle in small sink is difficult!! Non smoking hotel but people smoke right outside your window! This is our 3rd hotel in Iceland. I am petite but wonder how a larger person would manage. Also, our 2nd Foss Hotel. Trying out another one tomorrow in a different area. Positive notes: Staff friendly, great location with pier for Aurora viewing,and restaurant food (although expensive) was delicious!

This hotel used to be a small-town hospital. The “free exhibit” showcased next to the check-in counter and underground tunnel (tbh I am too scared to go through that tunnel to the restaurant across the street) made me feel uneasy. When we checked in, no one were at the reception desk, but the pre-world world hospital setting with figures wearing 18th century clothes freaked me out. I couldn’t stay inside the reception area to wait for the staff. Anyway, I will never pick this hotel again.

Issue at the breakfast

I had an issue: I booked two days at the hotel, included breakfast. At the first day the breakfast was complete, with white bread, croissants and sweet pastries. At the second day only white bread was available because a big group of a travel agency finished with the all assortment of sweets breads. More five couples of guests stayed without this service. A note: we payed for the breakfast, it is not for free… this is a non organization method to supply all the guest in the same way.

Very good place, but a bit pricy for what it is

The service was excellent. The front desk staff was quite hilarious and provided great services when our room door wasn't working. Our first room was on the ground floor and looked onto the parking lot. Although it was spacious and clean, I was a bit disappointed considering the price. As it happened, the lock of the room broke and couldn't lock, so the front desk quickly upgraded us to a more expensive room with a balcony and great view. The second room was a lot smaller, but the view was so good I really have no complaints. Overall the room was comfortable..

My only issue was with the Scandinavian style bathroom. Iceland doesn't seem to have the concept of partition in shower that kept the rest of the bathroom dry after showering. There was a shower curtain but the water still got on the floor everywhere the bathroom was practically overflowing with water on the floor the whole time. (You need a sandal) I assume it's a cultural difference type of thing, but it was still quite uncomfortable. The bathroom was also small and dingy for the price the hotel charges.

The breakfast could be purchased separately and I am happy that I did. The dinning room facing the water and deck was really beautiful and calming.

They offer laundry services for about $12 per load, which saved our lives on this longer trip. Not cheap but worth the price to save yourself some troubles.
