"PROS: we booked a standard room which was spacious enough for two people. Very clean. Easy check-in. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need to cook and included GREAT coffee. Comfortable beds. CONS: Walls are very thin, so you can hear your neighbors clearly. Shower is very small - my partner is 6'4" and had a hard time. Room was very warm even with the heat turned down to the lowest setting. Overall good stay, but on the pricier side."

"Our first guesthouse stay in Iceland and it exceeded expectations. The receptionist was incredibly kind — when we mentioned we’d left our phone charger behind, she immediately gave us a spare and told us to keep it for the rest of the trip. Warm room on a rainy night, fresh breakfast the next morning. Highly recommended.👍"
