Good location. Would have an amazing view from the room if it wasn't foggy and storming this am (not pictured in photo- the mountains and ocean). Room is comfortable with a clean, modern bathroom. Room is on the small side. Bed quite comfortable. Nice common area and kitchen.

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.

Functional but pricey
Quirky building (well - it’s an old post office!) and functional, clean rooms. Well equipped communal kitchen. The rooms are very small and the bathroom door does not completely shut (it’s sliding) which is slightly disappointing for the price.

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.

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
