Accommodation with bedrooms and shared bathroom, located in a former bookshop, and offering a magnificent view.
Here's a beautiful place, full of the authenticity we so love to discover on our travels! This bookshop is one of Iceland's oldest stores, run by the same family (for 4 generations) since 1914. As well as buying souvenirs and admiring historic pieces, you now have the opportunity to sleep in one of their guesthouse rooms with shared bathroom. Offering a magnificent view of the outside world, their authentic style and exposed woodwork create a cosy atmosphere.

The old house is cozy and it's a treat to spend time in at piece of history like this. Everything is clean and the bed is comfortable.
Since a must of traveling is good sleep and not just spending time in adorable and historic places, I will add a few extra notes here.
As you would expect in a 100+ year old home, everything makes noise and sound insulation is minimal. The doors, the floorboards. The cabinets. The sinks. And perhaps even noiser ... Your roommates.
There are three bedrooms upstairs and I suppose if you have polite and aware guests in the other two rooms, noise could be minimized.
Unfortunately, we did not have those guests. One couple was up at 5am and for 40 minutes they clanked around every dish, cup and utensil available in the kitchen. They couldn't have made more noise of they had tried. I laid in bed amazed at how unaware of others two people could be.
Please folks, be respectful of your roommates. Use soft voices. Gently pick things up and put them down. Speak quietly. Don't roll your luggage back and forth across the floor at 5:30am.
A+ for the owner and the property. This review is just to give people realistic expectations of what the stay may be like.
