    Breakfast was plain but very good, the amazing staff made us egg and bacon which was very good. I have to compliment the staff more, they were so helpful and nice! We had a lovely stay at Finna Hotel.

    Nothing.

    Easy to find. Helpful receptionist. Excellent shower. Very small room (but I knew that and it was a single room). Comfortable bed. Parking just across the road. Good kettle; did not try the TV.

    Basic hotel. Our lockbox didn’t work to obtain one key. I was able to have communication with the hotel very quickly via a contact number and we were allocated another room. This turned out to be a better room. True as my friend was in a small basic room. The location was easy to find in the village. The basic room had two beds and two basic dining room chairs, and a small shower with basin and toilet. It would be small for two people. But my friend was in there on her own. The newly allocated room we had was slightly bigger. Two seating chairs, even a tv, double bed and small en-suite. This room is okay for two people.

    The breakfast was the most basic I have ever encountered. Do not expect much in that regard if you stay here.

    This 'hotel' is one of the few options we had to stay in the West Fjords. The room is small but comfortable and clean. Located nearby there is a very nice dining location nearby called "Café Riis" and a rather strange museum dedicated to "sorcery". for the rest Holmavik has very little to offer.

    This minor criticism pretty much relates to all the accommodation we stayed in during or trip to Iceland. There seems to be no way to turn down (or off) the heating in the rooms. This is a problem when the weather is unseasonably warm.

    Staff were friendly and helpful. Although the breakfast is basic, it was fresh and since we'd forgotten it was included, welcome.

    Decent place to stay in Holmavik

    • Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The twin beds were narrow (even for twin beds). The bathroom sink was way too small. There needs to be a mirror, end tables and shelves in the room (or at least hooks) to facilitate unpacking. The sign outside announcing the hotel desperately needs a paint job. This could be a really cute hotel and the location is great, but it does need some attention.

    Kathy, the onsite manager, is very friendly and helpful. She checked us in, showed us our room, prepared breakfast the next day (she did an excellent job with that), and checked us out when it was time to leave. She has implemented some changes that has resulted in the property being a better stay for the guests. More needs to be done, but with someone like her helping out, it won't be long before this property goes from average to great! The hotel was clean.

    For a small-town hotel, Finna was much better than expected. The rooms were small (for Americans), but they had everything we needed.

    Our room decor is not like what’s shown on photos. No head rest, you bump your head occasionally. View towards neighbours. Dirty balcony. Location is not easy to find considering a very small handwritten sign.

    The shower is strong and warm. Had a coffee machine in the room. Parking is easy.

    Very tired building exterior and interior; even the Finna Hotel name plate is badly faded. Has all the hallmarks of a cash cow (refer Boston Matrix). Breakfast lower end of the continental fare. Room very small and the bathroom is shoe box size. Room cost and additional charge for breakfast made this a very expensive stay compared to my other 18 nights elsewhere in Iceland.

    Good reception on arrival. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Served its purpose for a one night stay in a remote location. We highly recommend Cafe Riis, the prime cut lamb steak is top quality and well presented; the pizzas are delicious - delightful place in a historic building.

    No lift, but I did know this beforehand, and my case was carried up for me, which I rearly appreciated. The stairs are quite steep, and while there is a bannister, it's not one you could grap if you tripped. Slow and steady!

    The welcome offered. The view was lovely. Tea/coffee making facilities were very good. Breakfast was an option and was very nice.

    The building is a little old with some cracks in the walls. The bathroom smelled a tad mildew-y but seemed clean. Be aware the beds are narrow. I'm 5'6" and 145lbs and there was very little extra room. I almost rolled off a few times.

    Had a corner room with a small balcony and beautiful views. The coffee and tea in the room was a lovely treat.

    Smallest wash basin in bathroom. Service wasn’t great but wasn’t bad but it could come across as rude if one is not used to how things are.

    Spacious corner room with high rain shower but no body wash provided.
