Maggy was incredibly helpful. She accommodated our late arrival and she went out of her way to let us know before we left that a portion of Ring Road had been washed out overnight by a storm, which made it impossible to get to our next destination. Her kindness in letting us know gave us a chance to head back north around Ring Road to make sure that we made it back to Reykjavik in time for our flight. We would definitely stay here again the next time we visit.

Picturesque View

Such a beautiful hotel in such a beautiful town. The scenery along a mirrored lake and next to the Blue Church was breathtaking. The room was really large with a balcony view of the lake. The bed was cozy and the sheets so soft. She even left us an entire chocolate bar to enjoy. We loved our stay!

This is a little gem of a guesthouse located right on the Rainbow Road! Easiest check-in and check-out we've ever experienced.

Rooms are very nicely decorated and quite big. Try to get a bay-facing room with a balcony, but even the street facing side will not disappoint. Everything was clean and well-kept. The bathroom had great amenities and heated floors!

There is no food offered here, but there are great options within walking distance (400 feet!) And, even a couple of shops to browse. It's a very walkable spot.

The setting is stunning, with mountains all around. It's a perfect guesthouse in a great side trip off the Ring Road.

We were not able to make it to the hotel because of the unexpected weather conditions. We contacted the hotel to help us with the reservation since the weather(snow) did not allow us to get to our hotel and they offered to give a voucher . Unfortunately we had to rent a different hotel for the night. Only solution given was a credit for future stay. The owner Maggie was very nice but was not able to help us with a refund. We pretty much lost $330.00.

This is a very nice room in a very central location. The check in is essentially grabbing an envelope from the lobby, you don't interact with anyone. Our room has a great view of the harbor. There is no breakfast. We drove (in summer) to the Filling Station and got a very tasty, affordable (for Iceland) breakfast. The room is very clean, a good size, strong internet and good water pressure.

Great hotel, plan for food in advance

The hotel and the location are amazing, walking distance to everything. Great views of the mountains and the whole town. Only problem we had was getting a place to have breakfast, the hotel recommends Hotel Aldan but we showed up at 8 in the morning and they did not have breakfast available (there was a group that was having breakfast) but they told us that they didn't have for the 2 of us. Only coffee was available?! Other than that a great stay, but be aware of maybe packing your own food in case there is no availability in town.

I like pretty much everything! The property is very well kept, fantastic considering the building is over 100 years old, and the room was AMAZING! Understand it wasn't terribly large but since I travel solo, it was perfect. Instructions were left in the lobby along with my key. The location is ideal, right at the end of the highway and within a few steps of ships and restaurants, and the lagoon was right there too. I loved every minute of my time there!

This was a lovely place to stay in a small village in the East Fjords of Iceland. The room was lovely - comfortable, enough room for 2, clean and appeared new. However, one must be aware that breakfast is not provided and there are limited options in the town. We had the breakfast buffet at the Hotel Akden, as suggested, and it was 3000ISK pp for a simple buffet, which we felt was quite expensive. Given that the room itself was very expensive for what it was, I gave it a lower rating. Also know that there is no one at the guesthouse so you do not meet anyone, but there is a phone number to call. All of this information was made clear when booking, so no surprises!

If you are in Seydisfjordur this is a guest house to stay! Clean, modern, the house has a soul! Yes, it is a wooden house, yes, you might will hear other guests coming in but it didn't bother us. Had a great restful sleep there. We were on the upper level and on week day so no street noise was there to bother our sleep.
P.S loved the chocolate and the fact that you take of your shoes at the entrance :) (not everybody does that though)

Highly recommended

On arrival there was an envelope with a key waiting inside the home. The room was clean and well supplied. Great internet but no TV which was not really necessary. The previous hotels that had TVs only had 1 or 2 channels. We booked for only 1 night due to our trip around Iceland. We had a surprise blizzard that closed the main road for 3 days. The owner kept us well informed in person and offered a great price for the extra days of we wanted. No hard sell, she actually even recommended other guest houses in the area. Over all a wonderful stay in a very friendly town. Fantastic owner of the property .Highly recommended
