Reviews for Gamla Guesthouse
Review 1：I booked a co-ed sleeping bag accommodation room as a single traveler, not knowing what to expect. I ended up with a very clean four-bed room wholly to myself with a bathroom right across the hall and a nice lounge and kitchen for guest use. The room was beautifully located right off the main harbor in town. You had to check in at the main hotel and no breakfast was included, but for the price, I have absolutely no complaints.
Review 2：I really didn't understand why there is no interet connection in the sleeping bag accomodation!
Review 3：The hostel was really really nice. Clean and tidy, stuff was always friendly and helpful. You have free luggage storage for the last day, a nice common room and enough space in the fridge and on the shelves
Review 4：We paid in my view way too much for what you get. We stayed in far better guesthouses for far less. Probably you pay for being in the city, and it is not worth it !
Review 5：Location in the city
Review 6：This place has 3 toilets per gender and I think 3 showers. It will hold 75 people. That would be awful. No place to hang out, a large room w long tables and folding chairs. When I checked in there was no info about Myvatn, only ads. When I asked the clerk about what to do she said, borrow a bike and ride around.
Review 7：The staff barely spoke any english. Took us almost 2 hours to get in our room. We had to go to a third building to get our keys, and the receptionist there gave us a lot of wrong informations about the building. And after almost 2 hours trying to find the right place to get the keys and the right place to sleep, the room didn't have any pillows or duvets on it.
Review 8：Good location and nice place.
