Location was minutes away from Kirkjufellsfoss and near a gas station and grocery store. The check in was super easy, just grab your key in the reception. Only problem, there were no check in instructions. Good thing another guest was nice enough to inform us. The room was spacious but the hallway has a bit of a smell. No kitchen but breakfast is available for a fee. Good place to rest for the night. Nice backdoor view of the ocean.

We did enjoy dinner at a place in walking distance of the hotel and it was delicious. That was the only place that was open at the time. They didn't have a lift in the hotel, so we had to carry our luggage up a couple of sets of stairs which was kind of annoying, but we made it work. The room was spacious and worked out for what we needed. Breakfast wasn't an option for us since didn't pre-select it when we booked the room, so that was a bummer. No one wanted to make the exception to it and offer it. So we just figured something out the next morning. We did come on a day when it was raining and gloomy, so it might have been different if the weather was nicer.

The booking was not as requested. They had no breakfast included. We had to pay extra. Our room was not as requested. Our booking was for two beds. When asked for a new room with this accomodation the staff person became very flustered. The hotel lost power at breakfast. The staff was unaware and had to be summoned to fix. Food ran out at breakfast. Staff seemed bothered by replenishing.

Basic hotel.

This is what you would expect for a budget level hotel in the US. I'm not sure if there is such a thing in Iceland.
The hotel is clean and rooms are comfortable. Showers are very small pre-fab units. Breakfast is very basic. Don't expect more than some basic fruit, cereal, toast, boiled eggs etc. Management seemed to have staffing issues. Breakfast could be overrun easily with little staff to help. There was not a bar.

We arrived the hotel soaking wet and freezing, and all we wanted to do was to take a hot shower, but surprisingly there was no hot water at all. There was no one at the reception desk. We tried calling the number they gave us for issues, but no one ever picked up. This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. DO NOT STAY HERE.

Kirkjufell hotel is a simple, unpretentious place. The price however was higher than a 4 star hotel in Reykjavik. The breakfast was simple too: bread, crackers, cereal, hard boiled egg, some jam, tea and coffee. No skyr!
The shower leaked outside of the enclosure.
In summary: way too expensive for what you get.

The room was spacious and had a nice view but overall the experience was very bizarre. Literally didn’t see a single employee the entire time we were there. We arrived and the key to our room was on the front desk with a note. The restaurant was closed and there was no way to get something as simple as a bottled water. Nobody there in the morning as we were departing. Definitely the weirdest hotel experience I’ve ever had.

Folks, there are a few things you should know. First, pretty much the whole place had a mold and or chemical smell. Unacceptable. Second, there was no elevator. Hence, we had to walk up sketchy stairs to carry luggage up. We are elderly and that is an issue. Fortunately the manager was a delightful young woman who went out of her way to help. I would not stay here again, nor would I recommend it. If it had not been for the likeable woman behind the desk the whole stay would have been a disaster

The hotel has 2 levels with only a narrow upright staircase which is very difficult to carry suitcases. The staff was immature unsociable and unhelpful. Also often unattended by staff. The room walls are thin so the noise is loud. The pipes are loud. The fire alarm went off and no one was around to help for a number of minutes and they did not know how to turn it off.
On a positive note the beds are comfortable and the shower is nice.

The towns on the Snaefellsness peninsula are very small - like populations of 100 - 2000 people. I note that just because of the numerous choices of amenities around this particular one. Walkable to restaurants, coffee, and a cute little grocery. We moved on to a much more remote part of Iceland after this stop, and missed the convenience we had experienced here. Felt safe and clean. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Plenty of parking. One side of the hotel faces the ocean, the other Mt Kirkjufell.

Truly a 2.5 star hotel.

Let’s see … insufficient and unclear parking, 3 floors and no elevator, below average budget hotel breakfast, the room feels like a converted attic with little space to the sides of the bed and a super tiny shower … oh and the stairs down are tiny and you can easily fall with your luggage … and over $300 / night! The only good thing to say so that the staff is friendly and helps you with the luggage.

Better than expected

We truly enjoyed our stay at Kirkjufell Hotel. It's important to note that Grundarfjordur is a small town on the northern coast of the peninsula -- not a place where one should or would expect a 5-star hotel. Instead, what you're seeking is a clean, comfortable, friendly place to stay the night while enjoying the beautiful outdoors, which is exactly what Kirkjufell Hotel provides. The hotel is charming in the way that urban hotels lack, with bird and fish identification posters hung in common areas because they are relevant to guests. The lounge areas, though modest, are comfortable, and the included breakfast was a typical Icelandic breakfast buffet with yogurt, cereal, meats, cheese, breads, etc. Our rooms were also typical, perhaps a little larger than the hotel rooms we enjoyed in Reykjavik and elsewhere.

The one note that may be important to others -- I don't think there was an elevator, though it's possible we overlooked it since we were just staying on the second floor.

Had some issues during our stay. Front desk clerk seemed indifferent and really did not seem to care. I have the feeling that the owners are only in it to for the money due to high demand for accommodation in the summer, not to be in the hospitality business. Breakfast was very simple, but adequate. Rooms and hotel in general feel very worn and dated, again, I think the owners are in it for the money. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom very cramped with tiny sink. Not in the most pleasant location but convenient to the small town. Would only stay here if no other suitable options are available.

A good basic hotel. I don't think there is an elevator in case that is an issue for any guests. It was not a problem for us. The included breakfast was OK. The hotel had a back deck with a hot tub and fire pit. Neither of them were in use while we were at the hotel. Rooms were very clean and reasonably quite. It was nice to have windows that open. The town around the hotel is small enough to walk everywhere. There are several eating options and a small supermarket. Would stay here again next time we are in the area.

Pricey hotel for no reason. The rooms and halls could seriously use an update. The entire place just looks outdated and generally not clean. The sheets and blankets also looked worn out and the floor was all scratched from moving the beds together and apart constantly (they have twin beds that get put together or apart). I did not have the breakfast buffet since it was not included in the already high price.

The property is very old... The staff was talking on phone all the time when we check-in which shows no hospitality. We booked a room with double bed. However, we were given a room with two single beds and even worse, the lock is not working at all!! Not to mention that there is half bottle of cold water remaining in the boiler which seemed to us that they didn't do the cleaning.

We asked for a double room (i.e. what we have booked at Expedia) at the reception desk. The receptionist was again talking on phone and being impolite by throwing us the key for another room. As the room given was still disappointing, we turned out checking out and spent extra sum for another hotel! I am very disappointed with this experience and i definitely recommend you not to spend a penny there!
