Breakfast is really simple just toast, cereals, jam and cheese. It doesn't look really good from outside
Clean, comfy. I got upgrade for the sea view room and it was amazing. The rooms are small but you don't need much

The breakfast was really nothing special, unlike so many of the guest houses we stayed at during our Iceland trip.
Very clean room and bathrooms. The view from the kitchen/common area was fantastic. Good location in a cute town with a couple of good restaurants.
