Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Location was excellent, right on the harbour between two convenience stores and above the liquor mart. Guesthouse and rooms were awesome, very clean, the view from our room was unreal (corner room, with two huge windows, one on each outer wall that overlooked the ocean and the mountains). The rooms had its own radiator unit which you can control, multiple electrical outlets and it’s own sink and table/chairs. Kitchen area was very roomy with tons of windows as well; many tables and chairs.

MexicoEverything here is perfect. Location, 20 minutes from the famous Kirkjufell 10 minutes to the National Park. Next to N1 gas, Sker Restaurant, Vínbúðin, etc… Next to the black sand beach right on the seafront. Got there in a storm but the building is quiet. Rooms are new and comfy. Kitchen amazing. Shower hot. Hosts will give you tips and look up road conditions for you. They clean constantly. Views of the harbor and mountains!
