Description
Laufás Guesthouse is a modest two-star accommodation located in Egilsstadir, Iceland. Guests can choose from several room types including Standard Double, Standard Triple, and rooms with mountain or garden views, as well as a Run of House option. The guesthouse operates out of an older building above the local post office, which was formerly a postal office, giving it a unique setting rather than a traditional house. Amenities include free parking, WiFi, a bar, a garden, a terrace, and a shared kitchen area. Heating is available throughout the property. The guesthouse offers both smoking and non-smoking areas, with a designated smoking zone. While it has basic facilities, some reviewers noted issues with bed comfort and noise due to room placement near bathrooms. Check-in requires collecting keys from a sister property across the street, which some guests found inconvenient. The hotel maintains an overall rating of 7/10 with consistent scores in cleanliness, service, location, and amenities.

Reviews
Only two stars because the bed in the small room is absolutely a bad bed. Mattress isn’t flat, you fall at the middle of the bed, it’s really bad for your back and your comfort. Please replace it. It’s a key feature for a room.
