Fjardarbraut 41, 755 Stöðvarfjörður, Iceland –

Lock in a great price for Saxa Guesthouse - rated 8.7 by recent guests.

to get started.

The furnishing of the accommodation was very modern and beautiful, which the guesthouse does not let assume at first sight. The host was really friendly and the breakfast was really nice-ask for the homemade bread with a salt crust ;) The small town was a bit sleepy and there was only one possibility to have dinner. Car is an advantage.

We were made very welcome here and having a restaurant on site was just what we needed. The home-cooked meals were excellent and it was very easy to make hot beverages.

Please be aware that there is NO kitchen in this facility. Although they provided instant noodles for free, we did not know where to wash the dishes...

This was the most wholesome place I stayed on my 11 day Iceland vacation. I got into town late and the owner offered to cook me dinner since most everything else in town was closed for the evening. I was stunned more people weren't here given that the rooms were comfortable for a night and had private showers. Loved this place.

the host was really nice, we arrived at the property at 2 am and he met us there for the check in. The place was spartan with tiny rooms ( I stayed in a single room although the doubles were good sized). it had everything necessary for a good night's sleep. super clean and with a functional bathroom. Good breakfast with home made bread and cakes. It's on the main road in the village so easy to get to and perfect stop for who is travelling along the Ring Road.
