This is one of my new favorite places to stay. I am not sure how new the renovations are in this Old Post Office Guest House but they did a great job with it. Everything looked new. It was clean and the bed was so comfortable. The shower was amazing!! But the view out my window made the room perfect!! The room I had was small but it fit my needs perfectly.

Quiet, clean, and charming, the Old Post Office Guesthouse is as welcoming as all of Grundarfjörður. The staff provided great recommendations, and the complimentary coffee from the delightful cafe down the street was the icing on the cake. A

Tiny clean, hostel kinda room, nice kitchen area but self check-in was needlessly convoluted. Just send check-in information in an email instead.

Nice facility. Very clean room and excellent bathroom and mattresses and sheets. Neighborhood was a little blah, but easily within walking distance of town center and harbor. Basic building. Classic Icelandic concrete boxes. No staff on property, nor at front desk. No lobby to speak of. Decent easy place to rest and refresh, parking right out front and great view of Snelllness mountain (Game of Thrones). Great value for your dollar, I recommend it

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!
