Although my friends were allocated a room in the house across the street, which is part of the hostel, we were able to cook our meals together (depending on whose kitchen was less busy). Good location with gorgeous, snow-dusted mountains all round. My room was surprisingly large with an annex section furnished like a study, up on the 2nd floor, which gave me great views. Clean, warm accommodation, no queues at the bathroom or separate loo. Kitchen's got all you need.

The bathroom was a bit snug with a low sloping ceiling. I'm not tall and don't often knock my head on the ceiling, but I did here. Shower was a tight squeeze and the mat outside was constantly soaked. That was my only discomfort.

The hostel has two buildings, the red one which is the main building, and green, and we stayed in a quad-room on the ground floor of the green one. There were two bathrooms on the ground floor, which is good enough and there’s never any need to wait. The parking is about 100m from the hostel, which is very convenient.

The cooking area in the kitchen is relatively small, which can allow only one family cooking at a time. The room is relatively small, but has good blinder. As the kitchen is in the middle of the 3 rooms, we can hear the noise from the kitchen early in the morning.

I’m staying in this guesthouse not for the first time. I’m always happy about the location, the room, the staff. This time the room was spacious and cozy, everything clean. Good location as well and space for parking

I stayed two nights and unfortunately it was uncomfortable regarding the other guests. I understand that the staff are not there but they have the pauper saying about silence hours in common areas. Guests both nights didn’t want to understand that being loud in the kitchen or lobby, or have dinner at 11 pm, or slam the door at 11-12 and talk loud are inappropriate while staying with other people. Maybe it’s possible to have more information about silence hours in the kitchen or in every room to keep respect to others

Bathrooms are ok, kitchen is ok too but no dishwasher and ventilation doesn‘t work properly so there is always a strong food smell. Cannot rate the staff, as this is a self check in facility with no reception/ staff on site.

Very thin walls and doors slam easily. There was only one other couple in the hostel with us but some people really don‘t know how to close a door without slamming it every time! Our room was not in the red building shown on booking but on the other side of the street.

The location of the hostel was perfect. It was close by to everything in town, so it was easy to travel to other places to pick up necessities, or to explore other neighboring towns and land sites. The room my friend and I stayed in was so comfortable with everything it had like the beds, room temperature ,and we absolutely loved the view from our windows of this picturesque town!

The shower stall in the upstairs floor was a bit narrow to get in and out of, and the way the stall doors were set up made it easy for water to escape the stall and get on the floor.

Everything regarding the check in was well organized and fully automated. The room was comfortable. Everything simple but practical. Very nice the common room and the kitchen

Well nothing really. Maybe only the fact that you couldn't park in front of the possession, however a parking lot was a short walk from the house

It is good location, space for parking, cozy and warm, clean.

My preference was a visible bed (I was given this option during booking process), however I got a room with 2 single beds. I sent a message to the host and also called but I got not answer and reply at all.

Nice hostel. It was within walking distance of the harbor and a nice local restaurant, the Harbor Cafe. The parking is a block up the street but you can unload right in front of the hostel and then go park.

The room is very good size, we even have a separate little lounge area in our room. I like the room most is that we can see the famous Kirkjufells mountain from our window, we were able to enjoy the sunset view.

The kitchen area is a bit disappointed, too small as a lot of guests heavily count on using it. There're only two tables with a lot of guests fix meals and eat at the same time. After having premium coffee from all other guesthouses along the trip, I also expect the one here, but none. I guess I get spoiled. ha!

The room was nice, clean and spacious. Smooth check-in. Nice location.

Unfortunately, the shared bathrooms were left unclean by other guests. The walls were super thin so you can hear everything that's going on in the common areas.
