A bedside light would be great.

Lovely old building with lots of quirky bits and pieces and antique furniture. Atmospheric. We met interesting people. The owners are very welcoming

Could have been a bit more economical, but then it is iceland!

Location is perfect..very close from the bus drop off and right in front of ferry stop to grimsey. Opposite a busy restaurant .the toiletries were of excellent quality and brand..was actually surprised

Not to complain, as there are full time residents, the bigger communal kitchen doesn’t fit, as residents are cooking full on meals, using multiple cooking and prep surfaces, so you really left confused as can I use this pan? The coffee? The plates?

When you step in it is like back 50years, with decor, actual beds, bed setups, kitchen, you name it, even the keys. Although not a retro fan, this is not retro. I stayed here as I needed a place to sleep before catching the ferry to Grimsey Island. I got a room upgrade I think, lol. Was contacted hours before expected arrival, just to clear arrival procedures. I would recommend to other travellers, it’s clean, good water pressure, Ease of access, no pets, and no issues.

Having to leave such a cute wee town.

Bjarni was an amazing host! He gave a full tour of the place along with the history of the town and pieces in the hostel.

The property was amazing. Location and people. Felt right at home from the start. Very helpful owner and extremely nice. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

The walls are paper thin, so if many people are opening/closing doors in the night you will hear them. This is the only thing I didn't like.

The staff and owner were so lovely. The kitchen upstairs is fully stocked and there is a nice seating area to have your meal. The showers seem quite new and have good water pressure. The rooms are cute and cozy. Very convenient location to catch the ferry to Grimsey.

As some stupid Americans, I locked myself out. The owner comes in to save me in 2 minutes.

Love the location. The owner is super pleasant to talk to. It comes with a nice kitchen and surprisingly spacious bathrooms. He also owns the best bakery shop in town with a fun theatre. I ate the best cheesecake ever there.

Friendly welcome. All staff were very pleasant and helpful. The cost of the stay was extremely reasonable for Iceland. Good location for whale watching trips, and close enough to places like Husavik, Akureyri and Godafoss
