"The place is old but decent for being in west fjords, and the brkfst options were good overall but culd b improved slightly. We were on the topmost(3rd) floor. Beds were fine. One of the shared bthrm had a toilet tank issue(kept constantly filling up n taking too long). So, we just used one of the further ones on the same flr. We had some minor issues diring brkfst: one of the sliced breads had mold, museli was bitter, whole fruit(blk bananas n bruised apples) was not v gud during brkfast but other options incl. sandwich options(incl. cheese & fresh cut veg) n cutup fruit was good. Overall, our one nght stay was fine & it served itz purpose. This place has stairs, no elevator like many places in iceland."
