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.
Very nice property. Perfect place to stay on our way back to Reykjavik. It’s clean and quiet. The area was walkable and there was a nice restaurant in town. The breakfast was very good.
great little hotel in the seal circle, with free coffe and a very nice breakfast that you could take already packed on your adventures. i wished i was here longer because i coukd have waited for the low tide for the best seal viewing.
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.
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 😊

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.
Serviceable, and no less than I expected. I slept well. As others have said, the evening friendliness was remarkably more friendly than the morning friendliness.
