This hotel was great for our needs. My wife and I did one night here and it was perfect for us. It’s not the fanciest stay, and we didn’t really interact with any staff- but the check in instructions provided before hand were clear. Plus the location is unbeatable. I would definitely come back here!

I came to Iceland during a wind advisory and was cautioned not to travel outside of the capitol due to road conditions. I had booked this place a few months ago, but when I got the travel advisory, I attempted to contact this hotel to see if there was anything they would recommend or could do. I called several times and messaged twice to see if there was anything I could do. No one answered the phone and no one replied to either of my messages. Obviously, this is not ideal and not a critic of the location, but rather of the responsiveness to hotel goers. I would caution against staying here given the avoidance to simple questions. Even if there was nothing they could do, I would've liked to hear that but instead I heard nothing.

Super basic hotel. The room was tiny. Hardy enough space around the bed. The wash sink was in the room by the window separate from the toilet and shower which were on the other side of the room in a separate little room. It felt like sleeping in a student dorm room.

The check in went smoothly with the app/website instructions they give, the room was very basic and pretty small but very clean and well maintained! Overall a good place to stay for a night on our road trip, but wouldn't be somewhere I'd stay more than a night or two as the room was very small. We didn't have any face to face interactions with staff but they left lots of notes/instructions around the place for how to get in touch with them if needed, they also left a voucher for the coffee shop in town which was a nice touch!

This was the first day of our third trip to Iceland. Of course, we booked this place mainly for the view of Kirkjufell, but it turned out to be less impressive than we had expected.
Although there was a kitchen, the cooking area was extremely small, and there was only one sink. At mealtimes, all the guests gathered to prepare their meals, so my family and I ended up having instant cup noodles and snacks in our room for dinner instead.
The room contained nothing more than a bed and a small desk. However, the view was beautiful, the bathrooms were clean, and the water pressure was excellent.

The check in process was a little bit strange, but we managed to gain access and find our room. At first we thought there was no private bathroom as it was hidden behind a panel that looked like part of the wall. The shared kitchen had all the amenities and worked well. Room was clean and beds were comfy.

The kitchen had plenty of equipment, you could make a family meal here easily. It was also a very sociable space.

The property has a lot of stairs, if that bothers you.
It's a nice quiet location too, great views, but the whole village has great views.

Easy check in and check out. Restaurant within walk-in distance. Kitchen was a bit crowded so I am glad we didn’t plan to cook. Just a few minutes away from beautiful view of the water and sunset. We drove for about 5-10 minutes and got to see northern lights. It’s located in a cute small town. Highly recommend.

A reasonable stay

The customer service was outstanding. We booked room 21 for 2 nights, £160 per night. Compared to the other 10 hotels we stayed in across Iceland it had what we needed, but was more basic and cramped. The facilities included are excellent as is the location. I would get rid of the table in the room and have 2 side tables as one bed is against the window. Only 2 hangers and a few hooks. Toilet close to shower, general room a tight squeeze with little room for luggage. View of cars and main road. No noise though, we slept very well. This is a nice place to stay, but we didn’t feel the room we were in was good value for money, but know other rooms were absolutely fine. We were recommended a fabulous restaurant, Mathus, the food was delicious. Great coffee shop recommendation too. Host was great.

Great stay!

Since this was located in a small fishing town, I wasn’t excepting a whole lot and was very pleasantly surprised. The check-in process was very easy (considering there is no staff on premise). The room was large, bed was comfortable, and shower was great (stayed hot thru 2 back-to-back showers). Would have liked a second pillow for the bed and some hand towels. Other than that, no complaints.

Great place to stay in town with views of Kirkjufell in the background. Easy parking with walkable distance to coffee shops, restaurants and grocery store. Our room was clean and comfy. Our only complaint was that we were told check-in was until 10pm, however, when we got off the Baldur ferry and arrived at 9pm, there was nobody at the desk, nobody answered the phone (we called numerous times) and nobody was at the coffee shop either (an alternative place to find someone to check in per their instructions). After awhile, we were very fortunate to find another couple coming back from their walk to let us in.

Quiet, clean, and charming, the Old Post Office Guesthouse is as welcoming as all of Grundarfjörður. The staff provided great recommendations, and the complimentary coffee from the delightful cafe down the street was the icing on the cake. A

Tiny clean, hostel kinda room, nice kitchen area but self check-in was needlessly convoluted. Just send check-in information in an email instead.

Nice facility. Very clean room and excellent bathroom and mattresses and sheets. Neighborhood was a little blah, but easily within walking distance of town center and harbor. Basic building. Classic Icelandic concrete boxes. No staff on property, nor at front desk. No lobby to speak of. Decent easy place to rest and refresh, parking right out front and great view of Snelllness mountain (Game of Thrones). Great value for your dollar, I recommend it

The setting is lovely and the staff are friendly and helpful. Having the kitchen facilities was great—we were able to prepare breakfast and were given a voucher for a free coffee at a wonderful place down the street. All in all, an excellent stay!

Rooms are very tiny, as the hotel is quite literally an old post office. There isn't really a front desk; you call a number and get a code to get in. Rooms are simple but comfortable, and clean.

The Old Post office was perfect! The views are amazing and it is a great kickoff location for touring the peninsula. The rooms were extremely clean and the staff was kind and helpful. Self check in was quick and hassle free. Next time I am in the area we will stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect location and easy stop

Clean and efficient place to stay. Room had a tv! We were surprised with coffee vouchers for the coffee shop- which had extremely impressive coffee. Would definitely recommend.

I wish we had planned differently and booked multiple nights here! The rooms were large, well equipped to sort all the travel stuff, and the location was perfect. Easy access to mountains, falls and trails and a terrific view from the back door.

Nicely renovated bathroom, comfortable bed, warm central heating when the weather is 4°.
The share kitchen facilities are excellent with everything you could want even though I only used it for breakfast. Parking right outside.
Quiet at this time of year so not sure how quiet the room would be from traffic noise at peak time. The only noise is from other guests.

Bare Bones

About as bare bones as a hotel can get. One pillow per bed, no extra blankets or towels. Walls were bare. Nobody there to check you in - all done remotely. No coffee maker and nothing open in town to get that first cup in the morning.

For being in a small town, this was a perfect place to stay for the night before driving back to the Golden Circle. This is a no frills place, but safe and convenient. I would stay here again if I needed to stay in this area.

The property has a good location in town and is easy to find. It is not far from conviencience elements (store, restaurants, gas station etc.). Given that it's a reconstructed post office, it was not surprising that the property looks aged a bit, but we were a bit surprised by the amount of ongoing work in the building (several rooms appeared to be under construction). It proved to be pretty quiet, since we were the only ones there. Generally the proeperty met expectations.
