The host kept the kitchen open because we got in so late. Very much appreciated. The room was tiny as was the bathroom, but it was only for one night. Room was quiet and very clean. Comfortable bed.

Interesting property that was once a boarding school. Was there in the off-season and there were no dining options available. There is a very rustic restaurant about 10 miles North of this property. The only other option was the town of Hick 25 miles Southwest. If you were traveling to Northern or eastern Iceland, it’s wise not to let you fuel get below half a tank and keep some extra food in the car in case you find yourself in a village where everything is closed at 6 PM.
Iceland is GORGEOUS and the people are lovely, but there are much fewer options in the remote areas for fuel and food.

Very friendly staff. We had an early whale watching trip one of the mornings and the staff let us into the breakfast bar early so we could have breakfast and still make it to the boat in time.

A great basic hotel with extraordinary staff
We loved the staff; every one of them was extremely helpful and friendly. They made sure we are missing nothing at breakfast, had nice little chats with us, and even let us use the staff washing machine. The hotel is quite in the middle of nowhere, but has good breakfast, and you can drive 10 minutes to the grocery store at Ásbyrgi. The 35-minute drive from the hotel to Húsavík is beautiful with majestic beach cliffs.

Nice country setting
Nice stay at an unusual past - old school house. Great service, great host with sharing her life and culture of the area. We saw Northern lights in this area! Fantastic!!

Buena estancia
La habitación es amplia y con lavabo. Incluía desayuno y no estaba mal. Básico. La cocina se encuentra en las afueras del hostel, en una cochera donde hace mucho frio y si pones el radiador saltan los plomos. Todo lo demás bien. Había té y café gratis en el comedor del desayuno.

Nice little Hotel/Guesthouse. Staff was very kind and helpfull. The rooms are in good shape. Only limited TV channels but to be honest who is in Iceland for watching TV!
Surrounding is great as you have the Dettifoss and other nice viewpoints in the near surrounding.
They serve a breakfast in the morning which was good. Not too overloaded but a selcetion for everyone.
