Guest Houses in Northwestern Region

"We were contacted a few weeks before our stay to be told that the hotel had been rented out to a private company. We were given 2 options including moving to the sister hotel 40 mins further, and given an upgraded room, or to an apartment on the same site. It was made clear that the apartment was an upgrade but that there were no staff on site and no breakfast available. We had chosen the hotel for its location overlooking the water so opted for the apartments. The apartment was spacious with lovely linen in the bedroom and plenty of towels. However, my apartment only had two coffee sachets and no pods despite there being a machine and no tea whereas my friend in an adjacent apartment had tea and coffee pods. The apartment looked clean although the floor was 'gritty' in places and the windows were filthy so the view of the ocean was a little hampered. The shower was lovely but it didn't drain well so I had to spend time mopping up only to find that my friend had the same problem. I was also charged for the room in Euros rather than the original ISK. Given that this was our 3rd most expensive hotel (for the original room) it was disappointing. Clearly the apartments hadn't really been prepared for the season and I expect we didn't get the usual experience there. It would have been better if we had been cancelled. Interestingly the other accommodation was cheaper than we'd paid when I looked. All in all disappointing but clearly would be much better when open!"

"Breakfast was awesome, lots of variety for all travelers Dinner was ok, but expensive. "

"Great stay at Albert Guesthouse. The single room is small, but very comfortably, and there is access to a large sitting room in the common area."

"Lovely stay"

"This place has a comforting and homely atmosphere."

"This spot was absolutely wonderful! The cabin, the hot tub, and the views were exactly what we needed. Thank you for the hospitality! We will be back!"

"We very much enjoyed our stay here. Private bedroom with shared living area, kitchen and bathrooms. We loved ending the evening with a soak in the geothermal hot tub with Icelandic ponies in the background. "

"Unbelievable views and tranquil location. We had a family room with bunkbeds, as well as two other beds and it was so spacious. My favourite part of the guest house was the great room, somewhere you can relax watch TV and have breakfast. The owners are incredibly hospitable and very responsive to our queries. We highly recommend this guest house for travels in northern Iceland."

"Really nice stay, comfy and clean.The best way to enjoy the northern lights!"
