Out of the 10 places we stayed while we were traveling around Iceland, this one was our favorite. It was impeccably maintained, looked classy, clean, comfortable bed, quiet, and the staff was awesome. Paul even helped carry our bags up to our room.

Really nice breakfast room, great morning breakfast. Room was fine. Kitchen closes over the night, not quite sure, why? The sauna room was not hot enough, though.

Unbelievable views and tranquil location. We had a family room with bunkbeds, as well as two other beds and it was so spacious. My favourite part of the guest house was the great room, somewhere you can relax watch TV and have breakfast. The owners are incredibly hospitable and very responsive to our queries. We highly recommend this guest house for travels in northern Iceland.
