"Stodt Hotel is convenient and clean. The first floor suite I was in was noisy from upstairs rooms and the hall. The linens were very rough. For cooking there was an induction stove with 2 burners so cooking is a bit limited. There was plenty of space."

"The Old Post office was a large guesthouse very close to the Kirkjufell waterfall and mountai. The mountain was well seen from the guesthouse. The rooms were quite large, with private bathrooms and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was a bit small but ok for a simple meal. The whole place was very clean. We liked staying there."

"The room was very comfortable & clean. The description of the property says there is a bar/lounge. There is no bar/lounge on site, which was disappointing after traveling. I was expecting to grab some food when we arrived. There is a restaurant close by, but only open for breakfast and a few hours for dinner. There were only a few restaurants in the area and some food trucks. The staff was very helpful."
