Beautiful view, everything else was okay.
Appreciated their quick responsiveness in a question regarding check in yet they have no phone number listed on their site so was a but difficult to get a hold of them. Accommodations were a bit outdated and had a slight must/smoke smell yet beds were comfortable and thankful for the hot shower and the location and view were wonderful. Note, the showers are downstairs and 1 toilet upstairs.

Cute town, terrible service
We stayed here for one night on an extended trip. We arrived after hours, but made sure to contact the hotel to get after-hours check-in instructions. The instructions we received were very vague and not helpful. There was confusion on what building we were staying in - the reservation was under Grund guesthouse. However, when we arrived, this building was “closed” as indicated with a sign on the door. There was a person inside this building who only spoke polish and was unable to provide instructions. A family who arrived at a similar time also had difficulty with check in and went to the wrong building as well. We called the after hours help line - the lady was rude and short with us. She first stated we had the wrong room and instructed us to try different rooms on the property (which resulted in us walking in on a family). After several phone calls, we finally found the correct building and room number. The building and accommodations were nice. However, all the rooms open into the kitchen and eating area which resulted in an unintentional 6am wake-up call. The entire experience was very frustrating.

I am sorry you had that experience, yes Grund guesthouse is closed for the moment but good information where to go is in the window of the reception (Kirkjufell), this is usually no problem for people.

They guess house was kept very clean. All the rooms had private bathrooms, the facility had been newly remodeled so the original pictures on hotels.com did not match. The floors are heated. It was a very nice stay, we ended up adding an extra night.

Great view from our window. Spacious room. Full shared kitchen in the guesthouse. 2 showers with bathrooms downstairs and 1 additional bathroom with no shower upstairs. Private bathrooms would have been preferred, but the bathrooms were very clean. No problems. Did not see any staff. Key left in entryway with name next to it.

Beautiful property with an amazing view of the ocean and surrounding mountains. The room we stayed in was perfect for us. We were on the main floor which was perfect as the bathroom was right beside our room, and the kitchen was across the hall. The building had several bathrooms which was great. The property was nice and close to the town down the road. The view from the kitchen table was stunning. Best way to wake up. The person running the property checked in with us when we arrived, and as we left. Everyone was super friendly. Highly recommend.

Nice little guesthouse
Check in was very simple. The key to the room was left right near the front door. Did not see or speak to anyone. Bathrooms and room were clean. Bedroom was spacious with some chairs and large table. Bed was a little soft for my taste. I think there are 6 rooms here, with 3 showers and 4 bathrooms, so I never waited. There is washer and dryer on site. Wi-Fi included and plenty fast for planning the next day's tours.

The Grund Guesthouse is great. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. Rooms, bathrooms and kitchen are clean. There are two showers for 6 rooms, but we stayed two nights and every time I entered the bathroom, is looked as if it was cleaned just before. Kitchen is well equiped and they have complementary tea and coffee.

Beautiful location! Nice atmosphere in and around the hostel. They kitchen is well equipped to be able to cook al you want. Free coffee and tea. The only minor thing was that our room (with 4 people) wasn't the room we booked online I think. It was very small and 2 of the 4 beds were children's beds. Also very warm and little oxygen in the room at night, even with the window open.

Hello, thank you for staying with us. This room is the only room in this house with four beds and is advertised as a family room, for 2 adults and 2 children so I can believe it was a little crowded. Best regards,
