Lock in a great price for Saxa Guesthouse - rated 8.8 by recent guests.

to get started.

Fantastic location with fjord and mountain view from the restaurant. It’s a little but very cozy town and all you need you can get from the super friendly hosts at Saxa. We had great dinner with Gulasch soup and the fish of the day. Both were lovely. Very nice breakfast buffet in the morning with very tasty freshly baked bread. Nice and clean rooms with own bath room. Great beds! Can only recommend a stay at Saxa Guesthouse if you are visiting the south-east corner of Iceland.

Doesn't look like a guesthouse from the outside, but inside is a different story. A couple of common areas, the upstairs lounge having sofas and a large TV, while downstairs a large dining table and chairs, fridge, tea/coffee making facilities and crockery. Room was comfortable and a good size.

We arrived at dinner time and we found out there was no dinner service. I booked for 3 but they gave us a double room so we had to ask for an extra bed.
The room was nice and clean

The place was located right in front of the fjord but my room did not have a view.......of the window was a little lower, I might have been able to see something.
This appears to be new place.The sheets were crisp and white. The towels were not dingy.....look spanking new! The bath towel was larger than usual so I could wrap myself around it. The bathroom had a bath mat. I also had a private bathroom which is very rare in Iceland.....most of them are shared bathrooms with 8 other people. The shower head was a large rainfall shower head so the water pressure was perfect. The room was simple and conveniently laid out. I was able to charge my phone and camera. The staff was very cordial and walked me to my room. Of courseI was the only guest this past Sunday night!

Cafe on site didn't open until the following day which was disappointing. Only place to find food was a burger type place down the road.
