We were welcomed by a fill-in for the owner, and she was very nice. A simple, small room, clean, with a spectacular view out the back of the mountain as the rain fell, creating many waterfalls. Seydisfjordur is a special place, the aura of a smallish town that is welcoming to visitors, and the hotel felt the same. The communal kitchen where you could make coffee or tea or hot chocolate provided (and any other meal) with board games and seating, so lovely. We had a wonderful dinner in town at the cafe, and wonderful walk around the lake and the "downtown". And it had great meaning, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" was filmed here and its inspirational messages resonated during our stay and for always. Thank you!
