방에사 키르큐펠이 보이는ㅗㅂ게 좋았어요 방이 생각다 좁긴 했지만 전채적으로 깨끗하고 관리가 잘돼 있었어요 주방도 필요한 조리기구는 비치되어 있었습니다. 가로등이 많아 오로라를 보려면 5분 정도 차타고 나가면 됩니다

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay in town with views of Kirkjufell in the background. Easy parking with walkable distance to coffee shops, restaurants and grocery store. Our room was clean and comfy. Our only complaint was that we were told check-in was until 10pm, however, when we got off the Baldur ferry and arrived at 9pm, there was nobody at the desk, nobody answered the phone (we called numerous times) and nobody was at the coffee shop either (an alternative place to find someone to check in per their instructions). After awhile, we were very fortunate to find another couple coming back from their walk to let us in.

Good location. Would have an amazing view from the room if it wasn't foggy and storming this am (not pictured in photo- the mountains and ocean). Room is comfortable with a clean, modern bathroom. Room is on the small side. Bed quite comfortable. Nice common area and kitchen.

Beautiful view of Kirkjufell. No issues checking in, although there was noone on the premises. Everthing at the hotel was great. It was clean and quiet. Easy parking. Great hot shower. Did not try the kitchen.

Functional but pricey
Quirky building (well - it’s an old post office!) and functional, clean rooms. Well equipped communal kitchen. The rooms are very small and the bathroom door does not completely shut (it’s sliding) which is slightly disappointing for the price.

4/10 Fair

Good view to the beach and the mountain. But No breakfast, price is high. No service person seen. Old building.

Good hotel to stay overnight.
We were on a larger Iceland tour, and needed rooms for one night only. The Old Post Office offers good, clean room with god bed and own bath/toilet. Completly sufficient for our needs. Will use it again if needed.
