Guesthouse Eldá Guesthouse

Helluhraun 9, 660 Myvatn, Iceland –

The place is so white, it feels like a mental ward. Breakfast buffet was great. Good amount of options and everything was fresh. Kitchen had everything I needed.

Ryan, United States of America

Property was extremely quaint. Lovely homey feel. Exceptional accommodation our favorite on the trip by far! Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Justin, Thailand

The value was exceptional and they had a pretty good breakfast

Susan, United States of America

Nice and clean guesthouse with really friendly staff. They have a lot of knowledge about the area and help you out where they can. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and the kitchen offers all you need. The are offers great opportunities for northern lights and star photography.

Julia, Germany

The girl at the reception was very friendly & helpful. She quickly let us know when there was Aurora just outside the Guesthouse. This place is near to all the point of interest & we were lucky to see Aurora just right outside of this guesthouse the 2 nights we stayed here.

Bee, Malaysia

It was a lovely place. Rather expansive objectively, but compared to the prices in the area it was fair.

Rachel, United States of America

It is simple, basic, clean with a common kitchen area. The staff is nice and very helpful. Great place to stay to explore the area.

Wendy, United States of America

The girl at the reception was very nice and helpfull. Breakfast was very good, expevially the vege and smoked trout.

Siu, United States of America

Bargin! Great location right in the centre of Myvatn area, clean friendly stuff, book it if you find place!

Amir, Canada

Check in was easy. There was a common kitchen area with fridge which was useful. Shared bathroom so you had to wait a bit to get a shower but other than that it was clean, quiet and well equipped.

“Okay for a night”

- • Double Room with Shared Bathroom

Doesn't feel as welcoming and warming as other guesthouses we stayed in. It felt more like a hostel with shared bathrooms. Water smell like sulfur, even though it's not their fault, we didn't feel confortable to refill our bottle (so better pack some water bottles just in case).
The location is great, really near the main attractions of Lake Myvatn. Kitchen was OK, not great.

Many rooms in one corridor so it can get noisy outside. Kitchen can get a bit crowded.
Kitchen has everything you need so you can cook up all kinds of meals, and has a fridge. Wifi works well Didn't opt for breakfast so can't comment. Shared bathrooms and kitchen are clean

Not very comfortable bed, walls like made from paper. It was a bit noisy until everyone went to sleep.
Big room, several bathrooms (good because they are shared). Well equiped kitchen.

The money was a lot for what they provided. The kitchen was to crowded. Toilets and showers were old.
Comfy rooms, clean and tidy. And we saw the northern lights that day. And they last for a long time

“Nice Hostel with friendly staff and good starting point for any activitiy around Myvatn”
- • Leisure trip

Actually nothing that really matters was bad/not so good. Sometimes it could be a little bit cleaner and tidier - but this also depends on the guests behaviour. Sometimes personel is not really around and you have to ring a bell or call them
Super friendly staff and nice location close to the see, supermarket and gas station. Nice and tidy hostel with basic (but good!) accommodation. Very supportive and helpful in case of extension of your stay in case of bad weather condition. We did not have booked the breakfest however, it looked fantastic!

Excellent location for whale watching at Húsavík. We also saw the northern lights right above the hotel!! Very clean, all the facilities you need.

Walls were quite thin meaning you could hear people in the other rooms. This didn't wake us up, but it wasn't ideal when trying to get to sleep.
Nice room and adjoining facilities. Great location for the sights around this area. Friendly staff and generally very clean.

The bathrooms didn't have toilet paper for over 24 hours and the showers were quite subpar
Location was good, it was close to the Myvatn nature baths and the nearby IcelandAir hotel for a good meal
