If this property was less expensive, I would’ve rated it higher. Drab room with thin towels and small beds. The elevator stops a few inches higher than the floor so I nearly fell stepping out of it. We didn’t actually sleep there as I booked us a much nicer place across the street for the same price. We came back in the morning for breakfast which was minimal. The staff barely replenished anything. We got there 20 minutes after breakfast started and didn’t have a lot to choose from. I hope they replenished items as breakfast was still scheduled for another 90 minutes. Don’t waste your money here. Keep looking.

This is an ok place but the check in didn’t go as easy as they claim . Your told to call and get your code but when we called we just a recorded message saying the phone wasn’t available . Eventually someone showed up and we got the code.

There was no staff for check-in or check-out. We had a problem with the television and had to call a number to get someone to come over. Low season may account for the absence of staff, but the hotel was empty! Breakfast was good.

Beds were set up for 3 people and we had adequate pillows, bed linen and towels. Bath floor was hard to keep dry from shower spray. Not enough room lighting. Overall, reasonably-priced accommodation. Close to best restaurants in town.

Liked the location of the property and it was convenient. However booking a Mountain View and got the street view and they refused to change the room. Very poor customer service. Expedia let me know in this aspect too. They didn’t fix it, neither did they refund the money.

Disappointing. Shower drain didn’t work. You had to mop water to be able to enter bathroom after the shower. Phones didn’t charge overnight as main switch turned off the outlets in the room. The beds were comfortable, breakfast was good.

Well, there was no staff at all. so make sure you have a phone to call the local number provided to you. one of the phone number they send you on the email will have a wrong phone number on it. (missing a number). the rooms are quiet small but seems to be a normal for the area.

Avoid. Lousy place. No communication. Keyless entry codes not sent by email as per their own instructions. No one answers the phone, responds to texts or returns calls. When the person did answer the phone once she was very unfriendly, almost argumentative. Worn out, blood stained linens. Rough sheets. Uncomfortable beds. It’s as if the place is someone’s side hustle and they don’t care about it. Or you.

Overall good

Our stay at the North Star was mostly positive. The room was large, very clean and comfortable. However, the shower in the bathroom is only enclosed by a shower curtain and requires you to squeegee the walls and floor off. An example of Scandinavian minimalism. The check in process is very nerve-racking. There is no attendant in the building, and the phone only calls to an answering machine that answered in Icelandic. Luckily, there was a Grayline tour guide checking in at the same time as we were and she was able to navigate the phone system and connect us with someone. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise that was added after our reservation and the staff at breakfast were helpful. You have to be careful on the elevator since it didn’t match up with the floor. The location was very convenient to the national park and Grundarfjordur. In Olafsvik, there is a gorgeous waterfall within walking distance and you can take a whale watch. There is also a good restaurant right across the street.

Could have been better.

Do not like the idea of being sent a code for access. We never received any code. Hotel told us they always send out codes, but Hotels.co often do not pass them on to guests. Also sending a code by email is pointless when you are out in the hills and no Wi-Fi coverage. Tried telephoning the hotel, to receive a message try later. Really not helpful. Transpires they do not answer phone till after 1600. Would have been helpful to know that.

I stayed at so many hotels and guesthouses along the Ring Road and had heartwarming experiences with the hosts and management everywhere EXCEPT this. The couple in charge does NOT speak any English and is downright RUDE. The phone they give you never works and they are not available. A lady got stuck in elevator and we had to find themfor a long time. Also they don't give clear directions and they keep the reception where tea coffe is locked randomly and you Canncannot ask them the hours .....to get your food from refrigerator, eyc. Very authoritarianism, no eye contact, no smile, very cranky and irritated expression to all the guests. Other guests agree with thos.

Alles sauber und zweckmässig, self-check-in hat gut geklappt, Lage mitten im Ort und in Hafennähe ist gut. Keinerlei Personal oder Ansprechpartner vor Ort und auch keinerlei schriftliche Informationen über das Haus und den Service vorhanden. Wer nur ein Bett braucht, ist ok aufgehoben, aber schön, nett, freundlich oder gemütlich ist das dort nicht.
