Baldursbrá Guesthouse

If you’re planning to cook for yourself, avoid this place. Booking.com lists “Kitchen” for the property, so it was reasonable for us to expect there to be one. We were surprised and annoyed when we arrived and found none. The owners didn’t seem interested when we raised the problem or pointed out that the listing was a bit misleading. They’ve also been rather rude in other posts since then. The whole thing felt misleading and disingenuous. 😕

The apartment had three bedrooms upstairs for our group of six, plus a sofa bed on the ground floor. The stairs are narrow, and there’s only one toilet, on the ground floor. Bathroom water pressure was weak. There’s a washing machine, but no turbo dry. Be careful with parking: there’s no space at the entrance, and I got a fine for parking there.

The host replied to my email really quickly, and we loved the shared living area. The WiFi was fast, and the kitchen had everything we needed, plus more. It’s a short walk into town. Such a cozy place, with very clean rooms and comfy beds. I’d definitely recommend it.

There was always warm coffee for guests, and the lobby has a lovely cat. Our room stayed warm, and it was clean, as was the shared bathroom, which always had warm water. The kitchen is big and comfortable, and the location makes it easy to walk into the center. I’d recommend staying here, and I’ll come back next time.
