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.

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.

Fine for overnight stay

Free parking outside: shared lounge and dining area where you can help yourself to coffee machine - thought the coffee was good. We had twin room at back which was quiet and had black out roller blind which was quite good but still lets light in on sides and bottom if you get easily disturbed. Beds were comfortable but duvets too hot for summer. The reading lights mounted above the pillows makes sitting up in bed difficult which could have been avoided by better positioning. The tv only had a few channels working - reported it and was hopefully going to be fixed after we left; apparently there are supposed to be lots of channels. The bathroom is small but does the job. Unfortunately the pull around shower curtain and lip on the floor does not prevent water getting onto the rest of the floor and the extractor fan doesn’t work that effectively. Breakfast is a self service arrangement with a box in the fridge containing juice, rolls, local doughnuts and bananas. Ham, cheese and spreads as well as cereals available along with coffee. Place had a friendly vibe.

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,

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.

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.

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.
