Majatalot – Staður

"We picked this hotel because it was conveniently on our way. The location was very random though and there didn’t seem to be much around the hotel. The hotel seemed to be an old hotel that had been renovated. It looks nice in the pictures but there were some problems. The corridors had old dusty carpets. Our room was damp and there seemed to be moisture damage on the ceiling and walld. Our bedding was damp and the room was cold with no possibility to warm it. The breakfast was ok. "

"Positive things first: the room was clean as well as the public kitchen, which also had plenty of space, dishes and a working coffee machine. Only negative thing we encountered was that when taking shower at 10:30 in the morning, the hot water ended. The problem fixed by waiting for 5 minutes but maybe the owner could turn the knob in the boiler a bit clockwise :). I booked the room in April 2025 when this guesthouse had zero reviews in Google Maps and in hotels.com. When my trip came closer, I read many reviews about people not getting into the room. I got my code for keybox in the previous evening with no problem. If my eyesight was correct, the hotel is run by an Indian (?) couple (?) who is still learning how to run a hotel. This was still on the old name in Google Maps (fixed when we reported it) and the Wifi has the old hotel name. Just do a well-arranged system (Excel will do fine) to ensure everyone gets an email with the key box code and you will get this over 4,0/5,0 stars. There is no breakfast served (it is DIY) and the voice insulation is not good. These are not actual problems if you know these beforehand."
