Héraðsskólinn Historic Guesthouse

A very comfortable stay in our double room with private bathroom. A very cool building with lots of history. Games room with old pool table too. Restaurant had really good food options. Good vegetarian options too.

A building full of history, well-maintained both inside and out. The interior has many old photos and items that help us understand its history, which is wonderful. We stayed in a family three-bedroom suite in a private area, with beautiful views of the lake and mountains, and it had a private bathroom and kitchen. The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. We could do simple cooking, making it feel like home. This was one of the best accommodations of our trip to Iceland.

This review is Especially for the staff here, they were all so very kind and warm. Not just to us, but to everyone who walked through their doors. It made us feel so welcome and so much more comfortable to order food and drinks and to experience our stay as best as possible, though it was brief. We’d had some fairly cold experiences with restaurant/hotel staff prior to our visit here and it made such a huge difference to our overall trip. Thank you! It’s lovely to travel across the world and find such kind faces.

In my opinion the guesthouse has some quite good rooms with also adequate bathrooms. The only downside for me was the mold in the windows (foto). Breakfast was average for what I had in Iceland and the other food served was really good. Also views were pretty nice here. Overall a fine stay.

Below average food and overpriced. Fish and chips were all simply deep fried and pre frozen convenience food. Pizza was also premade. It's a shame since house has a unique charme and an incredible view

Stayed for one night here and was very pleased with the room and meal at the onsite bistro. My room overlooked the lake and included a private shower and toilet. Ate dinner at the bistro. Service was friendly and quick. I had a delicious chicken salad. Plenty of parking available.

We had a fantastic barista by the owner who made us two delicious lattes. Also, the location was great since it was located in the middle of most attractions we wanted to visit in the Golden Circle. Would recommend this guesthouse!

Great place with very special atmosphere. Everything is clean. Mind it is vintage. They have options of rooms with shared and separate bathrooms. Daytime you can hear people in other rooms, but at night it is sooo quiet! Loved it and will be back! 😊
