Hotel propre et confortable. Domage qu'il n y est personne pour accueillir.

10/10 Exceptional

Cozy house and clean. Could probably improve on soundproofing the rooms as we could hear snoring and murmuring from other rooms at night. Some guest tends to overuse the kitchen for heavy meals and we had to wait for our turn. However we do loved our stay and it has a very nice view from my room - I could see faint aurora. Would come back again!

This guesthouse was within walking distance of a pleasant diner, close to gas stations and easily accessible. The property is well maintained and spotless. The rooms have adequate space and there are common areas and kitchen privileges.

Everything was perfect, except could’ve used better black out curtains for summer midnight sun months. But great comfy spot.

Biggest issue was soap dispensers in every shared water closets were empty. We stayed two nights and never addressed. Room very small with sloped ceilings where we bumped our heads numerous times reaching for items on nightstands. Rug in room curled up on corner which caused tripping.

Great little guesthouse
Very clean. Comfortable bed but as I have wished all throughout Iceland it sure would be nice to have an extra pillow or two in the room. Next trip I am definitely bringing my own pillow!! Watch as you use their unique folding shower. If you take a normal bath the water piles up and doesn’t drain and the water will end up all over the bathroom floor! Found this out too late. Interesting concept in design but not intended for normal water use I don’t think. Over all a lovely place and we loved the town also. Would recommend a trip over the mountain to Seydisfjordur. It is wild.

Nothing around one dinner and a restaurant that did not open. Bathroom smell, room very small for two person. No one to check you in or out. It’s worth more of your money to stay at the hotel. Will not stay there again.
