    The hotel has a fully equipped restaurant kitchen to use for cooking your meals. The dining and lounge areas are full of windows overlooking the water and mountains that surround you. There are free laundry facilities, billiards and parking. They even offer kayaks for guests to use on the water across the street from the lodging.

    A nasty smell from bathroom from time to time.

    Local hotel in the north. Room was clean, with comfortable beds. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, we did not taste breakfast.

    The bathrooms were oddly tiny and the shower pretty much soaked the whole room..

    Amazing facilities- free kayaks for the lake, free laundry, pool table… and the room was spotless and comfortable. Staff super welcoming and enthusiastic about showing us around.

    Top Notch Hotel With Every Amenity in a Stunning Setting!!!

    Literally nothing!

    This property surprised me in a very pleasant way, and exceeded my expectations! When I booked it, the property looked a bit understated, and I knew it was a self check in. What the Northern Comfort Inn may not show as much on the outside, it makes up for on the inside with a very excellent property. First of all, the view across a lake and up to a mountain was stunning. You could not ask for a better view. The self check in was very easy, and the hotel was spotless. There were a lot of maps and local information which I really appreciated, as we needed some guide information for our trip. There was an open kitchen available where you could either prepare a meal or keep your food in a freezer or refrigerator. That was extremely helpful and something many properties do not have. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. I had hurt my back earlier in the day and the bed was a delight. They had an extra charging cord set up which was another extremely helpful detail they had that many hotels do not. They were near a very nice playground area if you're traveling with children, and the town is gorgeous. Would LOVE to stay here again!

    No hair dryer

    The staffs are very nice. The property is super clean. I am very impressed with the commercial tableware clean system. All the tableware are clean and in good condition. The shared kitchen not only has a lot of kitchenware including knife/peeler/scissor, but also has salt/pepper/cooking oil. The shared kitchen also has refrigerator and a good coffee machine. This property has a large common area: sitter room and dining area. The rooms are clean and furniture are in good condition. There is a lake nearby and this property offers kayak for free.

    I love the free coffee and tea from this hotel. Nice friendly staff. The hotel sits in front of a lake. Boating and kayaking are free for guests but it was too cold for us. Free laundry service was definitely a great plus for our 18 day trip. We spent 2 nights here to go to Grímsey which was very convenient because it is a short 20 minutes drive to Dalvík to catch the ferry. Walking distance to the public pool and sauna. Beautiful Mountain View all around. The very best part was the free use of their professional kitchen. I was so happy to make some meals there!!! Great value and can’t wait to come back!!!

    Personally, I am not a fan of the all-in-one showers in with the toilet and sink.

    The accommodation was easy to find and easy to check in. The accommodation had great cooking facilities and plenty of room in the shared refrigerator. They also had a complimentary coffee, tea, and cocoa machine. The room was quiet. It was small but comfortable.

    The pillow is too high.

    We arrived earlier, so the staff made sure our room was made ready. Nice room, comfy bed, beautiful sitting area to dine in (no restaurant, but make yourself). The hotel really goes above and beyond, they're so customer friendly oriented! They offer so many free things to use, for example: They have a pooltable you can use for free, even kayaks! You can grab fresh towels whenever you want and if you want new linen on your bed you only need to ask.. Also free coffee machine.
