Outstanding location!

Review of Brimnes Cabins
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 May 2016
Well designed cottages at stunning location. 20 feet away from back water of Arctic Sea with a canal by the side and what more do you want? Absolutely well equipped for self catering with access to restaurant and snack bar within the complex.
Date of stay: May 2016
Room Tip: Must stay in those two cottages facing Lake

The cabin itself is nice. We had the fifth cabin (named Grund) in a row of five cabins, so we had a better view than the first four cabins. The primary view is of a little bit of water, a road, a football field across the road, and then mountains behind the sports field. It could be fun in the winter to see people skiing on the mountains, but I would have liked to see more water during our trip in May. The hot tub on the porch is quite nice. Other than that, it was the most disappointing place of the eleven places where we stayed during our trip to Iceland. I had expected it to be one of the best (since it was the most expensive), and feel a bit misled by the beautiful picture on the listing. The cabin contained most items needed for cooking. The frying pan definitely needs to be replaced and a spatula should be provided since it's essential for much cooking (eggs, for instance).

WOW! Love these cabins! First, if you're going to stay here, go for the cabins. We stayed in the "Fosskot" cabin in late April 2016, and couldn't of been happier with the entire stay. Check in: easy and friendly. Heimer was very friendly and accommodating, showing us the whole cabin, how to use everything, how to turn on the hot tub, wifi passowrd, and also gave us suggestions of activites in the area. Free, fast wifi! The highlight of course was the hot tub, overlooking this awesome mountain. Also, the porch was nice, just to sit and enjoy the views. The interior of the cabin was very cozy and was perfect for our party of 3. There was a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, sitting area/dining room, and a loft with an extra bed. Free coffee in reception in the morning, and traditional breakfast available for roughly $10. What a great place, at any time of year. Will be coming back for sure.

Brimnes Lodges in Olafsfjord were our home for a week of ski touring. The fjord and town are remote, and a magic place in northern Iceland. Cool lodges, with the extra benefit of your own hot tub. Friendly staff, cool place to get away from the buzz of the world.

We stayed at Brimnes for 2 weeks with clients for ski touring. It was the 2nd year that we would take clients to Iceland for ski touring and last year we stayed at a fantastic lodge and were a bit sad that this lodge wasn't available anymore this year. But boy, did Kristjan and Inga at the Brimnes hotel exceed all our expectations concerning hospitality, so the sadness about the lodge was quickly forgotten.

Kristjan and Inga are very very considerate, friendly and helpful and the food is absolutely great. Just one example: I am currently pregnant and I am not allowed to eat certain foods. I told them at the beginning of my stay. And whenever there was nothing I could eat out of what they's prepared for dinner, they's prepare something extra just for me. I didn't ask for this, because I would happily have eaten just salad or sidedishes, but I found it a very very nice gesture towards me. So THANK YOU!

The rooms are small, but super clean and beautifully furnished with perfect views onto the mountains there. We will be back for sure!
