Grund í Grundarfirði Economy Guesthouse

I can't get the password. Nobody get the phone call.

Grund í Grundarfirði is a fantastic guesthouse in the town of Grundarfjörður. Despite being a budget accommodation, it didn’t feel budget at all. The rooms were well-kept, and the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting. Its remote location outside the town means you’ll need a car to get there, but that seclusion comes with a big perk: it’s the perfect spot for northern lights viewing! Waking up to a million-dollar view of Kirkjufell was an unforgettable experience. If you’re exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and looking for an affordable yet incredible place to stay, I highly recommend this guesthouse!

Nice location

Cute town, terrible service We stayed here for one night on an extended trip. We arrived after hours, but made sure to contact the hotel to get after-hours check-in instructions. The instructions we received were very vague and not helpful. There was confusion on what building we were staying in - the reservation was under Grund guesthouse. However, when we arrived, this building was “closed” as indicated with a sign on the door. There was a person inside this building who only spoke polish and was unable to provide instructions. A family who arrived at a similar time also had difficulty with check in and went to the wrong building as well. We called the after hours help line - the lady was rude and short with us. She first stated we had the wrong room and instructed us to try different rooms on the property (which resulted in us walking in on a family). After several phone calls, we finally found the correct building and room number. The building and accommodations were nice. However, all the rooms open into the kitchen and eating area which resulted in an unintentional 6am wake-up call. The entire experience was very frustrating.

Beautiful view, everything else was okay. Appreciated their quick responsiveness in a question regarding check in yet they have no phone number listed on their site so was a but difficult to get a hold of them. Accommodations were a bit outdated and had a slight must/smoke smell yet beds were comfortable and thankful for the hot shower and the location and view were wonderful. Note, the showers are downstairs and 1 toilet upstairs.

Terrific We were very pleased
