“This guesthouse occupies several older buildings, including a former bank, in Seydisfjordur. The antique style aims for warmth, though some find it a bit dated, especially regarding soft beds and spotty Wi-Fi. I appreciate its quiet setting near the church, even if breakfast requires a short walk to the main building.”
