We were not able to stay at the Hotel Gigur, since Americans are not allowed to travel to Iceland and our airline cancelled our trip. I know they have a no-refund policy, but I would have thought there might be some forgiveness given the situation with the pandemic. Despite several tries, I was unsuccessful in getting a refund.
I had to cancel my trip to Iceland, due to the coronavirus. I had ten different accommodations lined up, and was able to receive a full refund from 7 of them and a voucher from 2 of them. Hotel Gígur was impossible to get ahold of! I tried emailing them twice and Expedia called them over 6 times on my behalf and were never able to receive an answer. It was only after the date of my scheduled stay, that I received word from them. They refused to give me a refund, even with the current conditions. I look forward to rescheduling my trip to Iceland for next summer, but will not work with this hotel moving forward. Their lack of communication during this time, even with ample time to respond, was disappointing.

Very small room .... We stayed there for 3 nights and only clean our room once even we request them to do so. Only positive side the staffs were friendly
We liked the location but the food in the restaurant was poor. I had to send my lasagne back as it was cold.

Direkt am See und sehr schönes restaurant mit einem super Frühstück. Leider sind die Zimmer extrem klein. Wir hatten zwei ganz schmale Einzelbetten und da hatte unser Gepäck knapp noch Platz im Zimmer.
Outdated, small rooms, small beds, tiny bathrooms, smelly water from the tap/shower, no tv in the room, expensive for what it is. Luckily it's one of the only hotels in the area, it's all about location location location.
The hotel is on Lake Mytavn and the pseudo craters. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The only negative is that the room was very small. Beds were comfortable. Good selections at breakfast
Enjoyed our stay. Beds were comfy and staff was pleasant and accommodating. We had a twin room with private bath that was small. The hotel is located in front of the pseudo craters which was worth visiting. We ate dinner in the restaurant. The view was very nice. I had the trout with mixed vegetables. The serving of trout was amply, however the serving of vegetables was skimpy. There is a variety of options on the menu. The breakfast bar was large and had a lot of options. Something for everyone. I would stay here again.
Large clean rooms, well serviced, friendly and helpful staff. Only negative was that our room was on the 2nd floor and to get to it you had to go to the 3rd floor then back down to the 2nd floor.
Just by the lake, amazing scenery.
Both room and bathroom were very clean

OK
We chose this hotel as it looked quite nice. I think the reality is that the pictures are artfully crafted. It feels a bit run-down in reality as you enter. The breakfast area is indeed nice. The rooms are quite small and have no extras (such as water for tea, microwave or fridge). We were hesitant to stay in a guesthouse and so chose this to have our own bathroom, but felt a bit disappointed by it at the end. It was meant to be one of our "nice" hotels.
Buon ristorante ottimi piatti ricca prima colazione
Pesce buono ingredienti di qualità

Die Lage und der Blick sind super. Essen war gut, Frühstück ok. Zimmer sehr klein, hellhörig und in die Jahre gekommen. Kleines Bad. Es war schon ziemlich eng. Personal sehr freundlich.
The rooms were absolutely minute ,we had no room to even place 2 suitcases
Bathroom was smaller than a ship cabin
For the price we paid,it was not of good value
Breakfast was very poor,compared to others we had travelling in Iceland
