Albert Guesthouse

20 minutes from the seals great little hotel in the seal circle, with free coffe and a very nice breakfast that you could take already packed on your adventures. i wished i was here longer because i coukd have waited for the low tide for the best seal viewing.

Very nice welcome from the staff, but make sure to arrive between 4-7PM. For a 2,5 star hotel, we had what to be expected - so we were not too surprised as we knew what we were booking. Simple and small rooms/bathrooms. Room was ver y clean/no view - on parking. Breakfast in a box for the morning which we found convenient. Convenient kitchen for those who want to cook at night as we know dining in restaurant is expensive in Iceland. We liked the living room set up that allowed us to interact with other travellers and learn about their journey. Card and dice games too: very nice. Very nice restaurant about 400m away called Sjávarborg. Make a reservation in advance.

Fine for overnight stay Free parking outside: shared lounge and dining area where you can help yourself to coffee machine - thought the coffee was good. We had twin room at back which was quiet and had black out roller blind which was quite good but still lets light in on sides and bottom if you get easily disturbed. Beds were comfortable but duvets too hot for summer. The reading lights mounted above the pillows makes sitting up in bed difficult which could have been avoided by better positioning. The tv only had a few channels working - reported it and was hopefully going to be fixed after we left; apparently there are supposed to be lots of channels. The bathroom is small but does the job. Unfortunately the pull around shower curtain and lip on the floor does not prevent water getting onto the rest of the floor and the extractor fan doesn’t work that effectively. Breakfast is a self service arrangement with a box in the fridge containing juice, rolls, local doughnuts and bananas. Ham, cheese and spreads as well as cereals available along with coffee. Place had a friendly vibe.

Good place to stay. The hotel is ideally situated to explore the surrounding area. Excellent staff, friendly, attentive, helpful and welcoming. Highly recommended.
