This place had a nice cosy feel. My room was a good size and very comfortable. I slept well here. The kitchen was a great size and well equipped. The communal seating areas were a good size and comfortable. Lots of space for guests. On street parking at the door or close by. Breakfast was down the street at Hotel Isafjordur and was extensive. A fantastic selection of food, including selections for those with dietary requirements. Shared bathrooms were enough for the number of guests and kept clean. Room had a basin and mirror. Good wifi

A washing machine and dryer would complete this place. Carpet in room a bit dirty looking.

Our stay at this guesthouse was simply wonderful. The beds were comfy, the bathrooms were spotless, and the kitchen was well-equipped. Check-in was a breeze at Hotel Isafjordur and the guesthouse was a short walk from there with plenty of free parking nearby. We had breakfast at Hotel Isafjordur which was plentiful, croissants, toast, bacon, eggs, fruit, yogurt and cereal! The sink in the bedroom was a great extra touch too, we wish more of the guesthouses we stayed in had this!!

Good location, fair price with the discount. Would not have paid more. Good breakfast that was included.

The room was not like I ordered. The beds were uncomfortable, super soft which kills my back. It's an old house with a lot of noise, the floor creaks soo loud, someone started singin 'howling' outside for at least an hour as we were trying to sleep, there is a pub next to the window, probably came from there full blast. It was really hot and stuffy in the room but if the window was open the rolling blinds flapped around with so much noise and the outer curtain is mere dolly for show so we slept in full brightness so we could have some air. Breakfast in another hotel and the checkin/out. We did not know where we could park the car, there was little to no room for parking. Oh and prepare to fight for the shower and the toilet with the other residents.

Perfect location. Comfortable beds. Full kitchen to use.

There is a permanent smell in this place. It’s in the main area, but also the rooms. When we ran the sink in our room, it stunk for the rest of the night. It’s hard to leave a negative review though because the houses in this town are old and sturdy, so I’m sure dealing with this smell would be a monumental task.

Very nice simple, clean and quiet room. Exactly the place I needed after hiking in Hornstrandir for a week. The included breakfast at the hotel was also very good.

I wish it was made clear from the beginning that I had to check in at the other hotel. The description said that I didn't have to do so before a certain hour, but I certainly did.

I loves that it was a beautiful old house. You can move the beds together. I like that their is a sink inside the bedroom.

I did not like the instruction on booking for check in is incorrect. You still need to go the hotel to get the keys and then to the guesthouse regardless of when you arrive.

The guesthouse was very clean and the lication is great. The staff we dealt with wrte very nice and helpful. Breakfast was great.

The guesthouse is an old building so it is noisy, you can hear the other guests moving around and talking, I recommend earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

Everything ok! When we travel, we just need a place where to sleep, so this kind of places are the best. Very cozy, there was everything we needed to make a dinner and to have some coffee. Old but nice and clean.

A bit bad airquality, but old places often has this "problem".

Fantastic breakfast with gluten-free options and a great location. Really loved the house and the old interior, exactly what we were after.

A little cozier interior of the room would be great, to connect to the really nice interior of the house. Not that it bothered me a lot just a tip for making it a lot better.

The little house was spotless and comfortable. I never saw, nor spoke with, any staff. The kitchen was very well supplied and very clean. The bathrooms were spotless. One suggestion is to have a fan in the room for some air circulation. It was centrally located in town and super convenient to everything

There were no couches in the home for relaxing: just chairs. The room was a tad stuffy and could use a fan for air circulation
