Guest house SAXA Guesthouse
Fjardarbraut 41, 755 Stöðvarfjörður, Iceland – Great location - show map
Excellent rooms. Very comfortable beds and very clean and spacious attached bathroom. Good adjustable heather. The restaurant was closed but kettle and microwave was available. Very friendly staff. Free coffee too.
United KingdomThese are strange times, normally the place would be full of tourists but i was all alone in the hotel. I did not mind it that much. I checked in very late since i was traveling and sightseeing on my way there. the hostess told me to call her when i got there i did and she arrived 3-4 minutes later and checked me in and showed me my room. Great showers, the hot water did not have the usual odor that you get in the cities. As i was traveling i couldn't get something to eat and i arrived late so everything was closed but there was free instant noodles provided for free. :) petrol station is just outside the hotel and a small diner just 200 meters away.
NetherlandsClean room, nice staff and the guesthouse has tv area upstairs- nice for the kids Good value for the money
IcelandExtremely comfortable guesthouse in a scenic little town. Rooms with private bathroom, two common lounge rooms, very quiet and pleasant.
AustraliaVery clean. Really nice set up. Spacious. Free soup and coffee and tea.
CanadaWell located, spotlessly clean, very comfortable room with own bathroom. Don't let the bit ruined down outside scare you, it's very nice inside. There is a shared place where you have kettle, microwave, tea, coffee, cutleries and plates etc. as well. Parking places are a bit limited, but there were not is many guests when we visited, so it was fine.
HungaryGreat place, with simple, but very clean and cosy rooms. The greatest at Saxa was the personel - friendly, easy going, ready the answer any questions and help you with anything. Amazing views.
PolandOur room was a 10+. The bed was comfortable, shower pressure was good and everything was very clean.
FinlandThis looks like a new guesthouse on the ring road. It has a nice coffee bar where you can have very tasty homemade cakes (besides lunch/dinner). The room was neat and clean, with a private bathroom.
ItalyFantastic 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.

Legal information
Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
