The shared bathroom aspect is really the only “issue”, which is fine, just something of which to be aware. The room was nice, basic…curtains not black out but close enough, and the staff were very available and attentive during breakfast. Parking was easy, and even though they are strict on the 3:00pm checkin, it was ok to leave our car and walk downtown while we waited, so it all worked out fine.

Thorsteinn was a great host. The room was small by American standards but clean. The shared bath was clean and functional. Breakfast featured a wide variety of cereal, pancakes, meat, fruit and juices. And lastly, the espresso machine was tops.

Very nice place to stay. This is a Guesthouse so you have shared bathroom and showers. The main bathroom has heated floors, so nice on a cold day. The rooms do have a sink in them. The hosts are very nice and accommodating. They sell bag lunches and I saw something about a dinner. Continental breakfast is included.

A pleasant couple to stay with the room was adequate didn’t have anything spectacular but had what I needed. I stayed here by myself while training at a nearby MMA gym on a week long training camp and I was able to get enough rest to be able to complete that comfortably.
