Reviews
Fortunately, it was the only hotel/tourist accommodation on my trip to Iceland that had a human being at the reception desk.
The room is modest and simple but has all the basics.
Comfortable mattress and pillows.
It was cleaner than the other (higher-end) hotels I stayed at.
The bathroom is huge and the shower is incredibly spacious. I loved the bathroom.
Clean shower with no mold.
Quiet place with no noise.
We were looking at some pictures that were hanging on the wall and he told us that it used to be a school but that it shut down because there weren’t enough students.
Highly recommend this place if you’re travelling through Iceland and need a place to stay either with your car/camper or just in the Guesthouse
