Accommodation is situated in a remote area, where the actual lodging is a short drive in from the main reception area. Very basic accommodation, where even the hot water is limited! But given that it is family-run, the customer service was wonderful. I was freezing under my comforter and the staff brought a portable heater to our room.
The location was picture perfect. I could write a book of all of the pleasant features and positive moments. The restaurant staff in particular was wonderful. I felt so well taken care of. The dock behind the hotel was a great place to visit. The water was a color I have never seen before and so clear that I could see the rocks on the bottom. There were jelly fish, birds and a seal. I took my dessert upstairs and ate it on my balcony facing the water. Afterwards, I walked up the hill and found a cemetery with French soldiers. I wish I had booked for more than one night.
The room is clean and has a small balcony, you can watch the midnight sunset, and there are historic churches and grass houses outdoors suitable for walking around after dinner to take pictures!
Beautiful stay in the midst of nature. Spacious room and bathroom with lake view. There’s spa and heated pool in the premises. The road to the hotel as well as the surroundings are beautiful. Breakfast spread was good. It’s just 10mins away from Hengifoss waterfall by car.
This is a port in the eastern part of Iceland where you can wash your clothes! From the capital of western Iceland, it is just the middle point of travel. The clothes accumulated in a few days can be washed and dried before going to bed at night. Pay 1600 Icelandic coins (krona), use it casually. The one in front of me needs 4,000 Icelandic coins to wash once.
Location: Good, located next to the lake, with restaurants and attractions nearby
Facilities: We stayed in a two-person room on the third floor. The room was a bit small, and a suitcase larger than a boarding suitcase might get stuck; the extension cord had poor contact, the hot water pressure was sufficient, and it came with a hair dryer, soap, shampoo and Conditioner; there is chess to play in the public area.
But why does the 4-person room on the first floor have a hot water kettle (as seen through the window when walking by the lake), but not upstairs? !
Service: The first floor is under renovation, self-service is provided, keys are provided in envelopes for self-pickup, no breakfast is provided, only paper is enclosed in the envelope. Recommended restaurants
Others: Located next to the road, with no airtight windows and poor sound insulation
Hotel acogedor con personal muy amable siempre dispuesto satisfacer las necesidades de los huespedes. Uno de nosotros es intolerante a la lactosa y nos trajeron queso vegano que era de su propio uso no para los huespedes
El desayuno es increible y se esfuerzan en todo momento en que tengas todo lo que necesites
Lo super recomiendo
Centrally located close to domestic airport, gas station and supermarket. Hotel appears to be converted from an old building but is nicely maintained with a charming lobby. Room size is bigger than other Iceland hotels. Shower is only separated from toilet by a shower curtain, so bathroom would get a bit wet but not a big issue. Both dinner and breakfast are good. Better reserve for dinner as it gets busy. O sure washing machine is handy, although may need to wait a bit as there is only one machine. Staff are generally helpful. Overall a pleasant stay.
Hotel location is good, very close to the nearby restaurant supermarket, there are many oil stations, convenient for self-driving passengers. The front desk staff is helpful and in addition to helping the elderly to pick up their luggage, they are also enthusiastic about the appearance of the aurora at night. There are many types of breakfast, fresh and delicious.
My friend and I made a mistake booking our trip, but we're very lucky to have found this location as a stop between our destination. It was fantastic. The food was amazing. The service was friendly and helpful and overall I would say any traveler who is making their way through that area should stop there even if it's just for a night
Great

Very Good
LLeah ChiuWasn't expecting much but ended up so pleasantly surprised! My elderly parents and I absolutely loved our stay here! One of the best places we stayed in Iceland this trip. The Guesthouse manager (matnus? Sorry I'm not sure how his name is spelt!) was kind enough to help us arrange a last minute change of room as we changed our minds and wanted to upgrade to a bigger room. We stayed at the one bedroom apartment and everything was lovely. Squeaky clean, even for a clean freak like me. The place was well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. I noticed there is a thick layer of cushion over the sofa bed so this was the most comfortable sofa bed I've ever slept on. My parents also said the double bed was very very comfortable. Highly highly recommend this Guesthouse!

LLeah ChiuThe room was a bit small for my family of three. But the bathroom is very spacious. Room is also clean. Room does not have a kettle but there is a common pantry which was useful. The main issue was check in because the check in was not actually at hotel post itself but at the other hotel next door and instructions were not clearly given. We panicked a bit initially because we reached quite late and could not find a way to get into hotel post. Luckily we managed to call the hotel and was told that check in is in the other building.
Aazicat2014There is a lake next to it, the scenery is generally the same. There is no hot water bottle, you have to go to the front desk to get water like a university, and you have to go outdoors to the front desk. The bed is small.

GGuest UserThe young lady at cafe counter who assisted us with check in was just fantastic and professional with her job. She's empathetic when we check in quite late and ready to offer any service such as sandwiches etc..
First class attitude and service 👍
