First. I booked very late because of a snowstorm in the north but that was no problem. Everything went fine - check in with codes and keys perfect. I loved this 4-persons-room and the restrooms were really tidy and modern standard. The kitchen offers everything to prepare a good breakfast if you have toast cereals tea bags and anything with you.
Some people start early in the morning and with snow and ice you have to clean your car. To be awakenend by this sound is a little bit scary. But I laughed about it and I hope you do as well. Things that happen in wintertime

Egilsstaðir is a funny town - like a stagecoach stopover that got out of hand. The guesthouse is well-designed and comfortable enough. On the way out to the ferry port there is a large pizzeria and taproom, built around a brewery that also lends itself to other locals to make home brewed beers on a commercial scale.
One or two bathrooms were out of commission so the shared facilities were stretched in the morning. With the cafe at the fuel station across the road closed, the nearest breakfast option was the supermarket down the way, which did not open till 09:00.

Wonderful kitchen facilities for cooking a meal. There were two ovens and sinks so multiple groups could cook at a time, and plenty of kitchen supplies - pots, pans, baking trays, knives, cutting boards, etc. Modern rooms with comfortable beds. We didn't know what to expect here and were pleasantly surprised with the quality!
It was a little noisy with the other guests and occasionally hard to get into one of the shared bathrooms. They were in the process of adding 2 more shared bathrooms on the lower floor when we were there, and that will be a great improvement!

Easy check in and instructions. We arrived after hours, so did not get a chance to meet any of the staff. Building was clean and looked fairly renovated. Plenty of parking, and plenty of kitchen supplies so we could cook our own meals. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
One of the WCs seemed a little small, but it was still manageable. The room was a little warm when we first arrived, but after opening the window, it quickly cooled off.

The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The radiator was strong and good to heat us up! There was a toilet and shower / toilet near our room and both were free a lot of the time so that was great. The guesthouse provided clean towels to put on the floor after you exit the shower, which was nice and the bathrooms I used were all really clean.
The kitchen was small for the amount of rooms and when we were there there were people cooking all the time so we just used the microwave to make an easy meal instead of cooking.

Cozy accommodation,our room was a bit small but enough for two people,clean and warm.the guesthouse provides a big kitchen,well equipped with all the amenities you will need. It is located at an excellent area,at the heart of the city center,near the shops and the supermarkets.
Our room didn’t have enough sockets and the two existing ones were too far from our beds. The toilets were clean but the bathrooms had a weird smell because of the lack of ventilation. One more problem with the showers was that they were flooding with water quite immediately,as the sewers seemed clogged up.

Rooms presented well, good location, easy check-in, comfy beds, kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans/plates/utensils
I could not figure out how to operate the stovetop in the kitchen, couldn't figure out how to control room temp, bathrooms were always occupied at peak times, loud guests during our stay. Also, not guesthouse's issue but local stores close earlier than other towns so be aware and make plans accordingly.

Check in was from 4pm onwards, which worked well, everything was clean and prepared for arriving guests. Room was a good size, as were the shared bathrooms. The kitchen was great, very clean, with large fridges to store your food and everything we needed to cook and prepare our meals. All in all, a pleasant surprise for the price we paid.
The kitchen was busy, but everyone cleaned their own mess and were respectful of others..

Simple, everything you need. Liked that it had separate wc from shower so you don’t have to wait when someone is taking a shower. Well equipped kitchen. Very clean. Beds good.
Needs an AC and a fly-net for the window. Was very hot so you had to keep the windows open, then the biting midge could get inside during the night so I had some bites. You can get a fan borrowed, as I did, but it wasn’t enough. Outside area can be improved.
