Great stay at North West!
Had a lovely one night stay at North West. Great service from lovely staff. Our room was clean and inviting, and the bed comfortable.
The food we had in the restaurant was absolutely delicious! I will be dreaming about the parmesan & garlic bread sticks for a long time.
The bathroom was small, but no complaints as to cleanliness or functionality.

The hotel has a restaurant and an common area with hot water boiler and a refrigerator upstairs where the guestrooms located. This is very convenient, especially for a group of travelers like us.

This was a great stay for the one night we needed before heading back to Reykjavik! Very convenient as it is right off the 1 HWY, loved that there was a communal fridge upstairs for the guests and the restaurant downstairs was excellent! The bathroom smelled moldy when the water ran...other than that the room was great!

There’s no getting away from the fact this is an isolated spot, but we knew that when we booked. The in-house restaurant has a great choice of dishes and our food was lovely. Nice communal lounge for guests to use. Great choice for those travelling the ring road

Ok stay.
My stay was ok. The outside of this hotel needs urgent renovation. The inside is nice but the room and bathroom was really small, couldn’t open my bag. Bed was good and breakfast was basic but good.

Every thing was great although the Hvammstangi address was confusing for non-Icelandic folk. The room itself could have had some more light so we could see a bit better

This is a hard review to leave. The staff was fantastic. The restaurant was also fantastic. The rooms were yuck! Our room smelled so bad we had to sleep with windows open in the cold. The rooms are just in horrible shape. The worst of all our stays in Iceland. But for sure stop for dinner!
