North Star Hotel Olafsvik

Positiv: Sauberes, überdurchschnittlich grosses Zimmer Negativ: Keine Rezeption Hotel ignoriert konsequent alle E-Mails von künftigen Gästen mit einer Buchung Erst nach der Buchung und Bezahlung erfährt man, dass man auch während den Ferien online sein muss um die Zimmernummer und deren Code zu erhalten. Zimmereinrichtung ist schlicht, einfach und in die Jahre gekommen

North Star The stay here was for one night and is was good.

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.

Clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast. Easy self check in. Fast wi-fi.

Great location across street from only restaurant in Olafsvik, clean basic room, great breakfast with fruit, yogurt, cereal, sweets, oatmeal, meats, cheese, etc

No staff, shower head holder busted. Stark conditions
