The Old Post Office Guesthouse

What guests think

At The Old Post Office Guesthouse, travelers highlight a convenient, scenic base in a small town, consistently clean rooms, and a well equipped shared kitchen, while noting compact spaces and occasional communication or maintenance issues.

Rooms are generally small or basic, but beds and showers receive frequent compliments; some rooms are warmer in summer and lack darkening curtains or air conditioning. Self check-in is usually smooth, though a few guests struggled to reach staff or found instructions unclear. The communal kitchen is widely appreciated for preparing meals, and several guests mentioned helpful coffee vouchers; breakfast is not provided. Expect a simple, well-located stay with limited on-site services.

Nicely renovated bathroom, comfortable bed, warm central heating when the weather is 4°. The share kitchen facilities are excellent with everything you could want even though I only used it for breakfast. Parking right outside. Quiet at this time of year so not sure how quiet the room would be from traffic noise at peak time. The only noise is from other guests.

It was clean and communication from the host for check-in, etc was really good. You never saw anyone though.

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 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.

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.

Great place to stay in town with views of Kirkjufell in the background. Easy parking with walkable distance to coffee shops, restaurants and grocery store. Our room was clean and comfy. Our only complaint was that we were told check-in was until 10pm, however, when we got off the Baldur ferry and arrived at 9pm, there was nobody at the desk, nobody answered the phone (we called numerous times) and nobody was at the coffee shop either (an alternative place to find someone to check in per their instructions). After awhile, we were very fortunate to find another couple coming back from their walk to let us in.
