Set in a characteristic wooden house, Við Lónið Guesthouse is an accommodation in Seyðisfjörður. Rooms feature Scandinavian minimalist design, original wood furnishings and uninterrupted views of the fjord and town. Clean, comfortable room with a beautiful and unique view of the fjord! The room was very cosy. We stayed here 3 days due to bad weather which prevented us from leaving (our booking was for one night only) and Maggy was lovely with us!!! Every day she came by to ask if we needed anything and provided us with coffee and chocolate. She kept us updated on the road situation and gave us advice on where to eat and what to do. I highly recommend everyone to stay are here!!! Thanks again Maggy!!!

The room was big, clean and comfortable. Even though there are shared bathrooms, we had a sink inside the room and it was perfect! The shared bathrooms were on every floor and they were very clean! The staff was wonderful and very helpful :) The breakfast was early, delicious and full of options :) There are huge common areas to sit, play and enjoy the evening. We had a self check-in and it was so helpful so we could arrive whenever we wanted. Everything was wonderful and we wish we had more time there.
