Good hotel for a short stay

While the room was small considering the price (paid about 450US$ a night) it was clean and has comfortable rooms. Great location. The staff was welcoming and helpful.

The washbasin at bathroom in cabin is sooo small and eerily positioned, technically it is not usable for washing face. This is must to do list for updates.

Guesthouse Gerdi was a very cute place. The room and bathroom were nice and spacious. The staff were very friendly and it was a simple and fast check in. The shower was nice but the floor in the bathroom isn’t slanted towards the drain so water goes all over the floor unless you use a towel to trap it. Do not leave clothes or anything you don’t want to get wet on the bathroom floor.

Despite Icelanders being more of the cold side - they were friendly here and accommodating. Room just have what you need for a night and two . Very closed to the glacier . I love having breakfast there our last day with the view.

We checked in around 7-8 pm after a long day, the front desk staff was by herself, asked me if we are plan to have our breakfast or dinner, I respond no, and I asked her if I can have extra pillow and blanket since I catch cold due to the cold raining and windy day . She respond “I am by myself , need to help to serve dinner , you will need to wait and come back later when I am done, I am not able to delivery the pillow and the blanket to the room. You go to your room and check how many total you will need and come back to pick it up yourself later. So I asked her what time should I come back, she answered “ 30 mins” , that’s the worse hotel service since I visit Iceland. Later we were still trying to put everything in the tiny room , she showed up at the door and brought the pillow and blanket to our room. She also apologized for her attitude when we checked in .

It was very cramped even when we asked for 2 adults and a child. There wasn’t even a kettle in the room for a hot cup of tea. Dining was extremely expensive but no other choice. A simple breakfast could have been included given that there was not even a kettle in the room - but the management had decided to make the most of tourists
