The harbour front setting was amazing and our upstairs family room had views from two windows. The guest house was furnished with a lot of style. The kitchen facilities were very good, just a little dark down in the semi basement.

It was clean, nicely feeling accommodation in a retro style. The retro does NOT mean old and worn out, but more like the feeling of staying in a small local museum. The rooms are the biggest I stayed in during my two-week road trip in Iceland. Location is best - first line facing ocean / harbor. The only thing I liked less where showers. They where ok, but I would do there some renovations to match the entire guesthouse level.

Lovely place with a vintage vibe. Very clean and cozy. Our room was smaller than expected but worked just fine for just one overnight stay. Kitchen in the basement was a great addition. Would happily stay again for a short stay.

Staff helped check in by taking our car evening call. We were disappointed, however, that the refrigerator was not working. There were things in the fridge. There was no sign saying it’s out of order. So we put our stuff in and some of it went bad. Also when we reported it to the staff they just said thank you for the information no apology no ice to recover the other food just going to serve a fancy breakfast to the other guests.

Quaint guesthouse right near the harbor. We had a lovely view. There is a coffee shop on site for breakfast, and since located right in the town, walkable to restaurants, ferries and scenic hill. Note, we booked a room with private bath, should be updated on Travelocity that it’s actually just toilet/sink, all shower facilities are in the basement. Also, no front desk so you check yourself in to building and room, but felt safe.
