North Star Hotel Olafsvik

I was nervous about this stay given all the bad reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised! Check-in was seamless. We got the code emailed to us via ******* (the platform we booked through). Entry was easy. The room was clean. Yes, the showers do flood the bathroom, but that's because there's no lip. It shares the floor with the entire room. It won't leave the bathroom though, and they provide a squeegee. Weird, but all good. The soaps & shampoo they provide are okay. The toilet paper is rough, but that is minor details. It was very quiet. Curtains were fine. No issues on our end! Quite happy. We had a beautiful view from our window!

The hotel was no frills but clean. The rooms were so hot. The 2 hotel staff were always incredibly rude and very hateful. I tried to use a translate app on my phone, but she shoved my phone away. We have been in Iceland one month and this was the very worst experience.

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

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

No staff, shower head holder busted. Stark conditions

Reasonably priced hotel/guest house. You have to check in using a code received online. At the time we arrived at around 18:00 the front door was not locked and after dinner it was unlocked either. Clean rooms of reasonably good size. Facilities (shower and bathrooms) are down the corridor, we did not experience any queues, but I doubt the hotel was full at the time we were there. Our room had good harbour view. No TV. The hall downstairs used to be a bar and reception area. It is now left as the reception which it open for guests with reasonably comfortable chairs, but the ambiance is not really friendly, so people do not really use it and it feels deserted. The breakfast was pretty basic, but OK. The staff comes only for the breakfast and for cleaning. The staff was very friendly but did not really speak any English as they are not from Iceland either. Free parking in front of the hotel. The best place for a dinner, I believe, is right opposite the hotel Minus - no place for dinner and even a bar at the hotel.
