Reviews
Cool guesthouse in Iceland.
The rooms are relatively large, very clean, and the bed, including the pillow and blanket, was exceptionally comfortable – you really sleep well.
I would particularly like to highlight the large communal kitchen. It is modernly equipped and offers several cooktops, so all guests can easily cook at the same time without getting in each other's way.
Everything you need is nearby: A large supermarket and a gas station are only about 700 meters away.
Overall, a very pleasant accommodation with a convenient location and good amenities.
I could see where people would be upset about the lack of receptionist but they send very clear directions and we had no issues with self check in.
Quad room was a bit small for our family of 4 but overall the value is good. The rooms were quiet (even with being very close to the bathroom).
There is a great little park and trail walk 3 minutes from the guesthouse if you're travelling with kids.
