We would not recommend
Pros:

Best thing about this place was toilet paper was soft

Cons:

Floors were dirty
Quilt was not soft and cozy We have stayed in many hotels in our travels around Iceland 19 different ones and value and comfort for our money this would rate as least favourite.
Staff could be a bit more friendly and personable

Cute guest house
Pros:

The room was clean and had a bed, two stools, and nightstands with lamps. We chose the room with an included bathroom and it was really nice! No toiletries provided. We had a view of the water from our window which was lovely!

Cons:

We relied on this location for its car charger, but it was out of service when we arrived. The other charger at the town service station was not compatible, so it was a little nerve-wracking to drive to another town with only 20% battery.

Smiling welcome, happy staying
Pros:

The owner is a very kind and nice man! The room is clean and comfortable with very good position. The cost is very reasonable to be in Iceland.

Cons:

The bistro, very well rated, inside the guesthouse is now closed because of the low season. We had dinner at the restaurant which was nice.

Just what we needed after our trek. Clean showers with nice water pressure and comfy beds. Thanks you!
Pros:

Very clean property with nice staff and comfy beds.

Cons:

It gets really warm in the rooms, which means you have to sleep with the windows open and the curtains cracked, letting in sunlight that might wake you up. It would be nice if there was a better way to keep the rooms cool.
