The staff was very helpful and pleasant. The guesthouse was clean and welcoming. We could walk around town from the guesthouse even though the town was small. There was 1 restaurant and a small grocery store. I would stay there again if I were back in the area.

Booked this with the option of breakfast provided however the breakfast was a cold pre-packaged bread roll. Would have preferred to book accommodation that was cheaper without breakfast if this was known.

The staff was very friendly and the room spacious. The breakfast selection was fulfilling. Main thing to know is that the key for the room also opens the main door when the front desk is not manned and that checkin is during a four hour window.

Nice enough little hotel on the side of the road. Our room was tidy, but there was definitely something going on with the bathroom. They had an oil incense thing going to cover the baseline odor, which I couldn’t identify. The combo was like something caught fire in an outhouse.

The owner Alla Dora is who will greet you. She has a wonderful inn and I think her value is on point with her pricing. A single person room does not have extra space, so meant for efficient travelers. I slept wonderfully and that is what matters I will plan to go back again 😊

Very nice welcome from the staff, but make sure to arrive between 4-7PM. For a 2,5 star hotel, we had what to be expected - so we were not too surprised as we knew what we were booking. Simple and small rooms/bathrooms. Room was ver y clean/no view - on parking. Breakfast in a box for the morning which we found convenient. Convenient kitchen for those who want to cook at night as we know dining in restaurant is expensive in Iceland. We liked the living room set up that allowed us to interact with other travellers and learn about their journey. Card and dice games too: very nice. Very nice restaurant about 400m away called Sjávarborg. Make a reservation in advance.

Basic and functional hotel for a roadtrip

This was likely one of the smallest rooms I stayed in during my trip, but it was functional and clean. Windows, as you can see in the pictures are slim so the room feels a little cramped. Bathroom is also small but up to date, clean and functional. The hotel sends out an email with a code to open up a key locker with your key in it, if you arrive after hours. Alternatively, you can communicate with them using a ring doorbell. So you can just do your trip and not have to worry about arriving at specific time. Hotelroom had a smart TV with an active Netflix account for some reason, so I was able to watch a show to unwind before bed. Breakfast was basic, nothing out of the ordinary, compared to the other places I stayed at during my roadtrip. Staff seems reserved, but happy to help if anything is needed. I would stay here again when passing through. It was quite comfortable,
