Grímstunga Guesthouse

Wonderful area, loved our room with nice bath soaps and products. The common area was convenient as well, and the beds were supper comfy, out into had a porch with lovely views as well. Check in was a little confusing but it is a new facility so be aware of that and they are still building it and creating their process, will stay again!

The cabin we were in was actually 5km away from the main check-in building but the employee was super helpful and gave us the exact location for it on Google maps. The accommodations were clean and comfy with a nice seating area, tv, balcony, and good quality products in the shower. We had a lovely view of the river. The kitchen is less than 100ft away and very spacious for dining.

We stayed in a nice new wing of the property. We didn’t see any staff at all, key was left in the door for us and we were instructed to leave it in the door when departing. There is no restaurant or cafe on site, 35 minutes one way to closest place. Luckily we had supplies from the grocery store with us and made do after a long day on the road. Facilities were clean and it is a very quiet location to say the least.

Nice property in the middle of nowhere😃

Todo excelente. En nuestra opinion creemos que mejoraría mucho tener más fuegos en la cocina

The address was different than the one advertised We were asked to drive some place else to a new building which was nice and new. breakfast was too expensive. you are really in the middle of nowhere. staff was very friendly.

Basic accommodation, did the job.

Very nice room with a private bathroom.

Einfache, aber saubere Unterkunft. Es stand alles zur Verfügung.

Les locaux sont flambants neufs, la vue de la chambre était parfaite, nous avons même pu voir des aurores boréales. La chambre était super propre et nous n'avons manqué de rien. Très bon accueil. Seul petit point : si vous prenez une chambre avec salle de bain privative, les batiments se trouvent a 6km de la réception.

Nice and helpful hosts, good value for money.

Just all around wonderful!

Really the only bad thing getting there. Several klm of bad gravel road takes you to check in. That’s not where the lodging is. After check in you drive another 8 klm on right gravel to the rooms. We have a small car. The sleeping room was great facing north fir the Northern Lights. Room next to us had outside lights on all night. Community kitchen is great.

Petit bâtiment au calme. Petit déjeuner ok. Mais soirée très bruyante car les autres résidents ont parlé fort et longtemps dans la cuisine attenante à notre chambre.

The check-in process was confusing. Check-in was supposed to begin at 3 but the person reception seemed surprised that we wanted to check in that early. After that all was good.

Good, simple place to stay. Beds were very comfortable and you have full use of the kitchen. Would recommend if you are in the area

Was a very nice Guesthouse. 😊

Grimstunga is a hotel that is about 10km from the reception area, which was startling at first because there is literally nothing around. After a day of driving and walking through Iceland, we were certain we’d find nothing as we drove down a very empty dirt road. But there it was! The rooms are small and there are some issues with the hot/cold water (at least in room 2), but it was clean and comfortable. Breakfast is prepared by the family that lives near the reception area and owns the hotel for a surcharge. It was plentiful and had a little of everything. The people who own the hotel, however, are absolute gems. Our rental car company gave us a car that was low on oil, making the light turn on. With the closest gas station a half hour away, we started getting nervous as it was a big driving day. The owner checked the oil and filled it for us from his personal stores. He even offered to speak to the rental car company on our behalf to have the price of the oil refunded. If you’re looking for very quiet, remote, clean rooms, Grimstunga is the place to go. If you want to meet some incredibly kind and helpful people, Grimstunga is also the place.

The room booked is 10km bumpy road away from their reception on map and from main road to their reception is also miles of dirty bumpy road. The location on Hotels.com is very misleading or deceptive. There is no dinning facility or any stores within 10 kms. The room we stayed with private bath is small and has noise (like fan or air flow) all the time from the roof. Both front and back door can not be locked from either inside or outside.Not very good experience after a long day.

Room was extremely small, not even any room to put your suitcase. The walls were very thin, I could hear the people using the restroom in the next room.
