Hotel Halond

The location is very good - close to the city center, but far enough to be very quiet and peaceful. The views are amazing. The hotel room was large - much larger than rooms in any comparably priced hotel in Iceland and in much of Europe. The facility and the rooms are updated, clean, and functional. It was nice having a large common breakfast room on the top floor, with a kitchen and small kitchen appliances. The check-in process was easy. There is plenty of on-site parking. I rated staff as "OK" only because there was no choice to enter N/A - we just did not have a chance to interact with any staff member since there is no reception desk on-site and the check-in- check-out processes are fully automated.

I like that there’s available fridge, microwave, kettle, and toaster available on site where the kitchen is. And that there’s available dish soap as well.

The only difficulty we had with our stay was checking in. There is no reception at this hotel. It is “self check in.”We received an email where the link to the door codes wouldn’t open. We tried sending an email to the hotel - no reply. We tried telephoning - no answer. Finally, we contacted a guest who was sitting outdoors and she said there was cleaning staff about. A staff member assisted us in getting to our room and provided us with our door code. It’s a lovely hotel. Once settled, we enjoyed our stay.

Room was very clean. Did laundry so that was great they had laundry facilities.
