Good hotel to stay overnight.

We were on a larger Iceland tour, and needed rooms for one night only. The Old Post Office offers good, clean room with god bed and own bath/toilet. Completly sufficient for our needs. Will use it again if needed.
Bjørn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Small but convenient and clean property. Easy self check in and out. Good Wi-Fi and clean group kitchen. Extra towels would have been appreciated.
Cynthia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful view of Kirkjufell. No issues checking in, although there was noone on the premises. Everthing at the hotel was great. It was clean and quiet. Easy parking. Great hot shower. Did not try the kitchen.
Paul, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Good view to the beach and the mountain. But No breakfast, price is high. No service person seen. Old building.
Liping, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Everything was ok. Nothing special.
Wendi, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A reasonable stay

The customer service was outstanding. We booked room 21 for 2 nights, £160 per night. Compared to the other 10 hotels we stayed in across Iceland it had what we needed, but was more basic and cramped. The facilities included are excellent as is the location. I would get rid of the table in the room and have 2 side tables as one bed is against the window. Only 2 hangers and a few hooks. Toilet close to shower, general room a tight squeeze with little room for luggage. View of cars and main road. No noise though, we slept very well. This is a nice place to stay, but we didn’t feel the room we were in was good value for money, but know other rooms were absolutely fine. We were recommended a fabulous restaurant, Mathus, the food was delicious. Great coffee shop recommendation too. Host was great.
Jeffrey, 2-night trip

Nice stay, no breakfast

Nice for those wanting a kitchen, rooms are small, comforter doesn’t cover tall people.. nice but not a foss hotel…no breakfast and earlier you can get it in town is 8:30
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay!

Since this was located in a small fishing town, I wasn’t excepting a whole lot and was very pleasantly surprised. The check-in process was very easy (considering there is no staff on premise). The room was large, bed was comfortable, and shower was great (stayed hot thru 2 back-to-back showers). Would have liked a second pillow for the bed and some hand towels. Other than that, no complaints.
