Once I figure out ten parking situation this location was actually quite good, the center circle was loud at night but I had ear plugs. Construction of the downstairs began at 9 am so if you want to sleep in choose wisely

Not at all what was expected, severely misrepresented. For the "romantic double room" the toilet ran all night and cistern leaked on the floor (was not able to turn the tap off either), the sink backed constantly. No clear direction on how to enter the property, this was advertise as "receptionstaff will greet you on arrival", I had to call for instruction and the person stated he had not actually been onsite so was not sure what I was describing or asking (he was lovely to speak with though) I did notify via email of both not able to access the property and of the running toilet - no response to date received. Could not get live tv on the tv, and was not able to access anything via the tv. I wasn't expecting a 5 star resort, however, I was at least expecting smooth entry into the property and a non running and leaking toilet.

Very nice guest house, however, I wish they had some sort of sign to say bg4 guesthouse, the front door has another name. But lovely once we got inside and the location could not be easier for dinner and the town square!

Nice room, excellent location and would book again. No staff on premises, self check in. Finding it was difficult because it does not say BG4 Guesthouse on the building. It would be helpful if instructions menitoned the house is actually called Hrafninn Guesthouse.

I did not like the apartment at all. The door handle fell off into two pieces one on the bathroom side and other on the bedroom side of the door. I got locked in the bathroom and my wife on the bedroom side. Took us 15 or 20 minutes to put the handle together thru the hole for the handle and to get it working again. The TV did not work at all!! No breakfast was offered. I did not not see or talk to a live person. Only furnished us a combination to the apartment by text message. Terrible experience. Expedia should not list the apartment to your customers. Terrible!!!!!

The building suffers from an enormous amount of deferred maintenance. We booked and paid for two nights, but left after the first night because of the moldy wall in the bathroom. The sofa in our room was something from a flea market probably. Peeling wallpaper and general dilapidated condition.

Pick a Different Hotel

You have to check-in at a different location. No mention of this on Hotels com, no email from the hotel, no notice posted at hotel. When someone showed up, he was rude. Insisted I didn't read my emails. Said he would return with informational "folder" and he did not. Hotels.com website lists 24-hr front desk service. NOT TRUE. Room smelled. Bathroom smelled even worse. Bathroom sink malfunctioned giving only scalding hot water. No cold. Shower was ok. Hope you have better luck if you stay here than we did. I will be having words with Hotels.com.

This guesthouse is within walking distance to many restaurants, bars, and shops which was perfect for us because we did not rent a car. There is also free wifi and a kitchen for all guests to use. The only downside was the TV. The TV had 4 working channels, but 3 of the 4 channels were the same channel so we really only had 2 channels. Check-in was also a little confusing but the staff worked hard to get us in a room.

Comfy bed, great location, cute guesthouse

The guesthouse is really cute and close to everything. Bedroom was cozy. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was ok but we didn’t realize towels were NOT provided so that was a bummer. Also, we weren’t informed that you have to check in at a different location. Luckily another person staying there pointed us in the right direction. Check in was easy and staff were really nice. Would definitely stay here again.
