We were glad someone was able to help us with accessing the property when we arrived. It can be a bit confusing if you don't read and follow all of the steps. The room was clean and comfortable. My friend got the best night sleep she's had during our entire 9 nights here in Iceland. If you want to stay in the area, this is a nice choice. Be aware, there are stairs and no elevator was available to move luggage.

The Old Post Office was really nice. Clean rooms, nice shower, great beds, nice linens - and great to have access to the kitchen on the bottom floor. It really helped out. Only problem was the opening of the guesthouse/door to the room. Digital solutions are not allways the best option when you have no internet och low battery - or as in my case not too accquainted with digital solutions. But in generally very good! Thanks!

Very neat, clean rooms, even quite tasteful. The bathroom seemed new and modern. The shower was spacious. The kitchen had plenty of equipment, you could make a family meal here easily. It was also a very sociable space. The property has a lot of stairs, if that bothers you. It's a nice quiet location too, great views, but the whole village has great views. I just wish I could have spent two nights here.

This was the first day of our third trip to Iceland. Of course, we booked this place mainly for the view of Kirkjufell, but it turned out to be less impressive than we had expected. Although there was a kitchen, the cooking area was extremely small, and there was only one sink. At mealtimes, all the guests gathered to prepare their meals, so my family and I ended up having instant cup noodles and snacks in our room for dinner instead. The room contained nothing more than a bed and a small desk. However, the view was beautiful, the bathrooms were clean, and the water pressure was excellent.

The setting is lovely and the staff are friendly and helpful. Having the kitchen facilities was great—we were able to prepare breakfast and were given a voucher for a free coffee at a wonderful place down the street. All in all, an excellent stay!
