Héradsskólinn Historic Guesthouse
Héradsskóli, 840 Laugarvatn, Iceland – Excellent location – show map
Really nice guesthouse, extremely clean and has lots of accessibility for disabled persons (wheelchair lift to upper floors, stair lifts for main area). Food was great as well. Breakfast is a bit pricey, but they serve lox and other cured meats along with boiled eggs etc so it was worth it. Extremely clean bathrooms with hot showers. Rooms have decent sound proofing, you can’t hear your neighbours too well unless they’re being very loud.
