Very basic accomodation with limited small breakfast and very few food options in town. Was sent a menu when booked but cafe not open for another two weeks.
This was a great place to stay for the whale watching tour. The boat was just a cross the parking lot. Guest house house is fairly new, nothing fancy but very clean and quiet.
Overall the property was very clean and the staff was nice. Bathroom was extremely small. The room was pretty basic. I would suggest putting a hot pot in the room.

This was typical of a guesthouse in Iceland. The room was very basic. What I didn't like was that there were insufficient parking spots next to the building, but mostly that the bathroom was minuscule. The sink was so small, that any attempt to wash one's face resulted in water all over the floor. The toilet was so close to the tiny sink, that you had to sit on it at an angle. I can't imagine a large person using that bathroom.
Simple rooms, excellent for a one night stay.
good breakfast

Conveniently located, surprisingly quiet as there is a restaurant on the rooftop. I did not think this accommodation was worth the value. No hotpot nor mini fridge which was provided at other locations at similar price range. Breakfast was included, but it was not very good. The layout of the limited selection of food in the corner area of the restaurant made it hard for guest to get to. The coffee was really bad.
This is a good value accommodation, basic but with a good bed and shower which is what matters most to us. However we left with a negative vibe towards it. They advertise as having a bistro which would provide us with an evening meal or so we thought. What was on offer was either a meat soup or a fish stew, both small portions and microwaveable - or some cake. The price of 3500 IsK for either was just ridiculous. I had a good quality burger and fries in a good restaurant the day after for less than that. I am not aware of anywhere else to stay in town so pay a visit to the supermaket for your food.
We were greeted upon arrival by friendly staff member on an extremely windy & cold day. The room was simple but quite adequate for our 1 night stay & was nice to look outside & see rainbows !
Bathroom was compact but modern & was perfectly fine.
The town is tiny so nothing is far to walk
Breakfast very simple but started our day well.
Overall a decent stay
Very nice friendly reception. Great views. Great location, near good restaurants, next to Witchcraft and Sorcery Museum. Convenient parking. Superlative in a few ways- The most expensive place I stayed in Iceland over our 3 week visit. The place with the smallest bathroom in Iceland. Also the beds had the smallest pillows I've ever experienced.
Guesthouse was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen had a stovetop, fridge, and microwave, as well as an electric kettle. There was salt and pepper provided, as well as many pots and pans. Bring your own oil.
My only complaint was that the water smelled sulfuric, and I was not sure if it was safe to drink so I brought bottled water.
We checked in late in the day. They were friendly and showed us around property. Also was unaware there was a bistro on top floor until we arrived and was great for a night cap and breakfast hit the spot
