Staying at this hotel was an interesting experience. The rooms, although reminiscent of the eighties with shared bathrooms, were surprisingly clean and well-maintained. They are on the small side, probably because they are normally dorm rooms for boarding school students, but still, I found my room to be clean and comfortable with a small bathroom. The service was a bit of a mixed bag; some staff seemed rushed and not very competent with our booking issue, but overall, they were pleasant and even helped us with dinner reservations. The location might not be for everyone as it's a functional school building a bit out of town, but it offers a scenic setting and useful amenities like heated spaces for drying clothes and tents. The dining options were available, though we didn't try them, and the facilities were decent.

My stay at the hotel was an interesting experience. The location was convenient and close to both town and hiking trails, although it was situated in a functional school building slightly outside the town. The service was friendly yet not very competent when dealing with booking issues. The dining options were a mix; fresh Mediterranean dishes were delightful, but other meals left much to be desired. The rooms, though offering stunning views, were clearly dormitory-style and on the small side due to being used by boarding school students for most of the year.

Staying at the hotel felt like being in a college dormitory, with clean rooms throughout the year despite not being very comfortable for the price. The shared bathrooms, particularly the women's, were well-maintained and tidy. The service was exceptional, especially when they went out of their way to secure me a spot on a ferry to Hornstrandir. The location, although functional in a school building outside town, was excellent for exploring and had a lovely view of Isafjordur's harbor. The dining experience was decent, offering a good variety of typical Icelandic dishes. Overall, a stay akin to a dormitory with superb service.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were big and very bright, with wall-to-wall windows, which was fantastic. However, they felt a bit dorm-like, probably because the hotel is actually a school. The location was convenient and easy to find, heating was good for drying clothes, and the scenery was very picturesque. On the downside, the dining experience was disappointing, and there were some issues with the service.
