Rooms are very clean and spacious and the staff is exceptionally friendly. There's free tea and coffee (even without booking breakfast) and a very nice shared kitchen and a comfy dining space. A hot tub is also available and an outside winter garden with seat space is provided as well. Shared bathrooms are separate from shared toilets.

Nice place to stay and they have hot tub from 6.30pm until 11pm.. Staying in room 201 everything was great except the toilet air filter is a bit noisy and its auto stop.. So basically every time the lights is on, it make very noisy sound.. ? Overall, staff is very friendly and kitchen is very clean.. ??

One of the best valued guest houses we have stayed in our 8 days trip in Iceland, with great clean rooms and shared kitchen (free coffees) and bathroom facilities. Great if you are tight in budget and want to cook your own meals. Theres plenty of free parking around. Manager is very friendly and helpful too, so for the money, I serously have no complains at all.
Jessica
I have never felt so well cared for! I really felt like I found an ally in Iceland to give me advice. The washer here was broken so our hostess took our laundry home and brought it back fresh and folded. We enjoyed our stay so much. Great accommodations and a great hostess!
Luke
Lovely guesthouse run by a lovely family. Host was kind and offered a room change for us even without asking due to a glitch in the alarm system in our room. Kitchen was well equipped with oil, salt, pots, pans, etc. Toilet was clean with good pressure. Best place I've stayed in iceland at a good price.
