Really nice guesthouse, extremely clean and has lots of accessibility for disabled persons (wheelchair lift to upper floors, stair lifts for main area). Food was great as well. Breakfast is a bit pricey, but they serve lox and other cured meats along with boiled eggs etc so it was worth it. Extremely clean bathrooms with hot showers. Rooms have decent sound proofing, you can’t hear your neighbours too well unless they’re being very loud.
Doors are old and loud but not a big deal.

It's a very beautiful building with an interesting history in spectacular surroundings. The communal areas are very nice and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and it's great to have a bar and kitchen on site that are open throughout the day.
The shower facilities are quite simple but clean and functional.

The local spa being so close is amazing and well worth checking out. The room was fine, nothing exceptional and ok size. There's a lot of common area space so this would be a great place for groups. Lots of parking and generally a good base for the area.
The third floor only has one toilet for the entire floor which doesn't seem enough. Showers are all in the basement (except for one on floor 2) so if you want to ensure your facilities are close to you that might be difficult.

Very clean and the decor was really interesting. Great that you could buy some souvenirs there if you liked too. Very close to the thermal baths and a nice place to walk around the area from. The food in the restaurant was good too.
I know Iceland is really expensive but I thought the priced for a small room with a shared bathroom was quite a lot.

Unique location in the middle of golden circle. Beautiful historic building, cozy rooms and cool social room. Very friendly staff.
I have to agree with the other reviews that there are maybe to few toilets for so many people and a soap was missing most of the time.

Nice location out by the lake and very friendly staff and breakfast available.
Rooms are a bit small when staying by myself and 2 beds in the room.

Great Location on a green hill with a beautiful view. Very nice hosts, very interesting, authentic interior, the building is a former old school building. Nice dining room.
Quite a small room, shower was on a different floor.

Great location and wonderful historic building. Unfortunately there are shared bathrooms for both genders that can be loud at times. The room had thin walls so we could hear others most the time.

The location was great and the offer of a discount for the thermal pool was appreciated.
