- Right in front of one of the only restaurants in the town. - Access to small plates, small bowls, coffee cups, cutlery, microwave, kettle, and fridge (that was unplugged, but worked once plugged in). - Free coffee and tea beside dishes and cutlery. - We happened to be the only ones staying on the floor we were assigned to, so it was quiet. - Access to 1 washroom and 1 bathroom that were side by side. Facilities were very clean! - Comfy bed, pillows, and comforter. - Plugs within reach at head of bed.

This guest house has some full service rooms with in-room bathrooms and some with shared bathrooms, so the reviews can be confusing. I was in a no-frills room with shared bathrooms. There was a sink in my room (I assume in all), so you can do things like shaving and brushing your teeth without having to go down the hall to the restrooms, so that was nice. I was in town overnight to photograph the area and just needed a simple place to sleep. Room was clean, nice, and quiet. Shared bathrooms were fine. No TV and no frills, but decent wifi. Breakfast was good, especially considering the price. Great value. I would get something nicer if the circumstances were different, but for a cheap clean safe place to stay (especially traveling alone), you cannot beat this. The main and surprisingly very good restaurant, Hraun, is next door.

Check-in and check-out was a very simple process. We stayed on the third floor and it was very quiet during our time there. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice guesthouse. We were even able to use a coffee/tea machine for free at any time, which was a pleasant surprise after a cold and windy day of hiking.

Gennady Finland

Good location, quiet. Shared bathrooms were very clean.

Rico Denmark

Pleasantly surprised. Was a lot nicer than expected and the shared bathroom was spotless. Not even sure if there were any other guests on our floor, pretty much had it to ourselves. There was a sink in the room which can be used for.ä brushing teeth etc.

Katharina United Kingdom

Centrally located, opposite a restaurant. It is a 'cheap' option considering Iceland but neat, clean with a very comfy bed. We stayed in a room opposite the shared bathroom which was always available.
