The Hotel Studligil is a gem. You might miss it if you’re driving by, as they’re still waiting for their new sign. It changed hands recently, and the manager explained that the focus has been to make the inside comfortable before focusing on the outside. This former school’s rooms are spotless with new baths and plenty of room for luggage. There is no mini-fridge or kettle, but there is a large dining room serving dinner and breakfast. The best part is the food, and everything we had was hand crafted by the manager, her son, and her daughter. Actually, the best part was the manager herself. So sweet and helpful! And she actually went to school here when she was a kid. We had planned to save our pennies and eat out of the cooler, but my partner decided to get a bite from the restaurant just before they closed at 9pm. It’s a limited menu because everything is freshly homemade. The curry soup, homemade burger creation, and savory bread were so wonderful that we opted to order breakfast while having dinner. In my somewhat limited experience with artfully created food, the food and sauces run out before the stomach is full. Not so here. There was extra of everything from the homemade blueberry sauce for the burger (I know, but trust me it’s amazing) to the herb butter for the homemade bread. This non-pretentious, no-frills hotel has common areas to socialize and meet fellow travelers, and the staff is thoughtful and kind. Even if you don’t stay here, I recommend you stop in for a meal. (We enjoyed meeting the manager so much we wanted to remember her with a photo; she's in the middle; the food photos are before and after dinner.)

So clean. Homely. Staff were superb. Helpful and accommodating. Great breakfast. Very comfortable beds.

A super modern place, furbished with superb quality and style. The room is beautiful, spacious and the beds are very comfortable. There are three bathrooms, one of which is HUGE. The owner is really attentive, hard-working and ready to help you with anything you may need. It's the only apartment we stayed in during our trip around Iceland in which we could use a washing machine and a dryer. The fact that you share bathroom and kitchen with other guests might be a nuisance if you're on a tight schedule and these are occupied by other guests. However, this rarely happened, and with three bathrooms for 5 rooms, we only had to wait a bit to use the spacious kitchen a couple of times in 3 days because we were really unlucky and everyone wanted to cook at the same time. :-)

The cute cabin has absolutely amazing views. Also, the host provided a really good hot water supply and comfortable bed and pillows, which was very rare given its location!
