    comfortable bed
    outside noise

    The beds were the most comfortable ones of our

    entire trip, making for a restful night after exploring. The location was excellent for touring the peninsula, but the noise from outside could be annoying if you opened the windows.

    Cozy and welcoming stay!

    We had a great night here! The staff were super friendly and showed us the best local sights with their handy map. The room was clean and spacious, and the homemade desserts at the restaurant were legit delicious! Just wish the Wi-Fi was a bit faster for streaming. Overall, such a pleasant stay!

    delicious meals
    cozy café
    garden relaxation
    warm room

    We had a lovely two-night stay, enjoying the delicious slow-cooked lamb shank and cozy homemade cakes at the café. The garden area offered a great spot for sipping coffee in the sun and unwinding after a long day. The room tended to get a bit warm, but it didn’t ruin our experience at all. Ask for extra pillows for a better night's sleep! 😊

    beautiful rooms
    delightful breakfast
    great location
    uncomfortable lounge area

    The rooms were surprisingly beautiful and cozy, perfect for our large family of five adult children. The breakfast spread was delightful, especially the variety of cheeses and homemade treats! We also loved exploring the nearby sights, making it a fun stay for everyone.

    My kids wished there were more comfortable lounge areas for families to hang out together.

    clean accommodations
    comfortable beds
    outside access
    noise from road

    I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Rjukandi. It’s in a fantastic location, making it easy to explore the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. The room was spacious, modern, and very clean. The comfortable bed ensured great sleep after long days of exploring. The breakfast spread was impressive, with a variety of breads, jams, and cheeses. I appreciated the option for gluten-free and vegan choices. The staff were welcoming and offered excellent recommendations on local sights. However, having to step outside for every meal during a storm was inconvenient. There’s no lobby or common area to relax in during bad weather, which was a bit disappointing. A little noise from the outside was noticeable at times, especially due to the hotel's location near a main road. Overall, a lovely place but could benefit from some indoor communal space.

    homemade desserts
    hearty meals
    beautiful room
    overwhelming heat
    lack of local tv

    The homemade desserts at the bar were a sweet treat, and the restaurant served up some hearty meals that really hit the spot! Plus, the room was absolutely beautiful, featuring a smart TV for ultimate relaxation after a long day exploring.

    However, we didn’t quite vibe with the heat. it was a sauna until we opened the windows. Not having local TV was a bummer – I wanted to catch some local news during our stay instead of just streaming movies.
