Alfheimer is a gem on the east coast. We decided to stay another night. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Accommodations were perfect with a comfortable bed and great tasting food. The locally brewed beer is delicious as well. All around a wonderful experience. Should we ever come back to Iceland we will be back here.

The check in went well and we took the front desk clerk’s recommendation and visited the pub down the street before they closed for the night after we checked in. It was a unique place and we tried some local spirits.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and the staff were nice, but it felt way overpriced for what was essentially a very basic room. The overall atmosphere was more like campground lodging. The room was dark, and the toilet paper was the kind you’d find in public restrooms, where you have to pull out one piece at a time. There was no kettle for hot water in the room, so if you wanted tea or hot water you had to walk to the main building — very inconvenient on a rainy day.

A quiet place near the Norwegian Sea. To reach this place is through long and winding road but worth the drive. Breakfast was good and the front desk lady was very accommodating and easy to talk to. There were sheep roaming in front of the property but never seen any getting too close to the accommodation. Must be very nice during summer because it’s a puffin area but during our stay in end of September they are all gone.

Puffins Central!!

Amazing spot to see the Puffins… the staff was wonderful. It was on the pricey side. Our most expensive stop on the Ring Road by far. Very small town, not much there, except an awesome Puffin experience. That’s must be the big price tag… and it was worth it!

Great Stay

The booking confirmation stated that the check in closes at 11pm so I got there at 11 PM but there was a note saying check in closes at 10pm. Not to worry as the hotel left good instructions for me to be able to enter and get to my room. All good and much appreciated. The hotel was quiet, May must be the low season which was fine by me. Room was clean and comfortable, shower worked well and I had a good set of black out curtains which were much needed due to the light nights. Parking was straight outside the hotel and breakfast the next morning was basic but good. The staff member I saw was friendly and polite, and checking out was quick and easy. I got a good deal on this hotel and off the price is right I worked stay again. Recommended.

This is perfect for puffin watching(7 min drive). The northern lights are right outside the room or the hotel. Thats how dark it is next to the hotel. The breakfast was very good.

Great place to stay to see the puffins. only 5-10 minute drive away to the puffin island....and there were hundreds of them! THe hotel looks a lot better in person than the pics...pretty modern room. also has a laundry facility that seems unheard of in Iceland. Highly recommended.
