Pro: guests cleaned up after themselves all the spaces were clean. Shoes off at the door you have to switch into indoor slippers. Very well equipped shared kitchen. Didn't have to wait long to use bathrooms/showers since there were multiple. Convenient location to shops and restaurants.

Con: way too noisy. Even though we had our own room it felt like a true hostel. Might as well pay more if you're looking for good rest. The heavy doors will slam shut every few minutes and it's not soundproof. If there's a large party in the kitchen you might have to wait to cook a meal. Upstairs bathrooms have smaller showers than downstairs.

Self-check in was easy and allowed for flexible arrival time. The room was plenty sufficient for my husband and me in the big bed and 2 sons (ages 17 and 12) in the bunk beds. The two restroom facilities downstairs were clean and well-maintained. The kitchen was well-stocked, and we appreciated the instant coffee. The area around the hotel felt safe and was near a fuel station and restaurants.

The bathrooms are very clean and spacious. The common area/kitchen is large and very nice!
We stayed in the junior double room. I know from the pictures it looks very small but I wasn’t expecting to hardly be able to walk around in it. Once our suitcases were in, we hardly had any room to walk around the bed. We were only staying one night and didn’t spend a lot of time in the room so I wasn’t a big deal but if you’re staying longer, definitely get a bigger room.

We were pleasantly surprised by our stay at Hotel Lyngás. The outside of the building is unassuming but the inside is immaculate and well kept. The kitchen and shared dining area were well kept. Our room size was smaller but more than enough for the two of us. There isn't necessarily someone at the front desk at all times but that wasn't an issue for us. All necessary information was provided to us at check-in. There are a few good restaurants nearby - all within walking distance.

Great stay at Lyngas Guesthouse. We had a family room for 5 people and we were impressed with the property. It was very clean. Upstairs they had two showers for 8 rooms. The beds were comfortable. The shared kitchen was well stocked. Lots of food and restaurants nearby. We had the staff do a load of laundry ($24 USD) and it was delivered to our room the next morning. My only complaint is our room had a bank of windows which got really warm when the sun shined in, but the guesthouse gave us a fan which helped cool things a little. Overall, a great stay - Highly recommend.

Small room

The common areas are great, very clean and spacious. However our room was very small, so small we had difficulty finding space to open two medium sized suitcases! You virtually get a bed and nothing else, not even a TV and there wasn’t a TV in the common area either. My husband almost had a coronary as the World Cup was on!
The outside looks shoddy. Definitely needs a clean up. Fortunately the inside is much better cared for!

Pros: The guesthouse is in great walking out the town. There is a nice living area to relax in and the staff was pleasant.

Cons: I had to pay an unexpected \"town tax\" when I arrived. It wasnt expensive, but it was a little frustrating to not have that included. The oven/stove was broken during our stay, so we weren't able to cook anything. I also requested a 2 twin room and we didn't get that which was a little unfortunate.

Nice facility but not sound proof

When we went to the hotel, we weren't really impressed by the outside appearance but the inside of the hotel was actually quite nice and modern looking. The rooms and facilities were pretty clean. The thing we didn't like was that our room was so close to the living/sharing space that it was so loud, we could hear every conversation and noise outside the room. There were also a large travel group that used the kitchen for 2h (I think they were cooking for their entire 10 people!) and were very inconsiderate in the morning as they started chatting really loudly at the dining area around 6am. Also even though there were two showers and two toilets, I constantly had to wait in line or fight to get in because they were shared between 16 guests it seemed like. The room we had was also very small and the bed wasn't comfortable. Other than being able to mingle with some of the other traveller guests, we didn't have a good rest at all because of the amount of noise by the other large group.

Vi rejste to sammen og havde bestilt et junior værelse med dobbeltseng. Det fortrød vi. Sengen fyldte godt halvdelen af værelset. Der var fælles bad. Badene var små. Der var ingen fællesarealer, hvor man kunne hænge ud, når man nu ikke kunne være på værelset, bortset fra køkkenet. Vinduerne i værelser var dækket halvt op med noget matteret plastic. Resten var beskidt. Så man kunne ikke se ud. Af de mange hoteller og guesthouses, vi har boet på, er dette stedet, hvor vi har fået mindst for pengene. Vi blev én nat i stedet for de planlagte to. I stedet bookede vi et andet sted, hvor vi for en del færre penge fik et stort dejligt rum med bad og morgenmad.
