The Old Apothecary

Seydisfjordur

The house has its own charm and the room is spacious, well maintained and of essential comfort, furnished with the taste of the past; good level of cleanliness; very high and very comfortable bed; available kettles and cups in the small common area. Compared to the Icelandic average, good quality price ratio.

Central B&B

We only stayed here for one night on our trip around Iceland.  We had an easy self check in and nice spot to park our van.  Our room as spacious and clean.  It was very comfortable and nice bed linens and bath towels.  We had access to a teapot and tea, which was very nice.  Our view was great and we had a short walk to restaurants for dinner and breakfast the next morning.

Beautiful location and nice stay

The whole of Seydisfjördur is very artistically ventilated. Some of the façades of the house are large-scale painted. The old pharmacy is a single light blue house. You check in without staff, there are 3 boxes for keys, corresponding to probably 3 guesthouses. Of all the accommodations so far, this was the most spacious place and the largest sink. Everything was very clean, there was a lot of storage space, an extremely high bed, the shower was narrow but had good water pressure. In the common corridor there was a senseo with coffee and tea. For breakfast we went to the Hotel Aldan, which was very good, but we had reserved the day before on their request.

Hotel without staff but good

We arrived around midnight and it took some time to get in because we have to figure out to get the key from key box. It was raining and crazy windy so we're all wet and really freezing.
Good thing is strong water pressure in shower. Bed was nice and firm.  Spacious room.
Unfortunately wifi was unstable. Big deal for us. No hangers, just two coat hooks on the wall. Nowhere to hang bathtowels in the bathroom. It was a problem because we need to dry them to reuse.

One night is OK

It is in the center, close to the river. There are three rooms. We were the only guests there. So it was quite convinient.
The only thing, it was quite loud because you can hear the people walking on the floor above you.
The room was big and the bathroom was ok. Everything old fashioned but on purpose. 
Everything a little bit too much used.
There is no contact with the owner. Everything was handled by mail, there is no breakfast included.
For one night ok.

For one night stay absoluetly sufficient

Room was very nice - the self-check in model takes a little getting used to, as we didn't see anyone else at the property at all - but we found that to be the case with several places we stayed on our trip.  It was on the more expensive side.

Lovely, comfortable, self-service

We found this to be a pleasant and satisfactory place to spend a night in the charming village of Seydisfjordur.  It's not a hotel in the traditional sense -- no reception desk or room service etc.  It's a self-catering thing.  You get your key from the combination lockbox by the front door (having been given the combination in advance by the management), let yourself in, and you're on your own.  Put the key back into the box when you leave -- no checkout formalities. We never saw or had any contact with any staff person during our stay, which was fine by us.  We tend to be self-sufficient travelers. The bedrooms are large by Icelandic standards, and include a bathroom.  All spotlessly clean and very comfortable.  Location is  convenient and attractive, right by the stream.  For those of us who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing that we like.  For those who need to be taken care of, it might not be.

If you saw the excellent Icelandic mystery series "Trapped" (available on Netflix), some of it was filmed in Seydisfjordur (but most was filmed in Siglufjordur, another lovely fishing village.)

Nice self-service accommodation in a charming little town

We booked 2 rooms for one night, mainly because this accommodation offered private bathroom facilities. Well the beds were comfortable and we had our own showers but apart from that we paid a big price for few facilities. It was entirely self service with keys obtained from a locked combination box and there was no reception at all. Rooms in this old building were large but sparcely furnished. Wifi failed to work on our Australian phone. Permanent residents who occupied rooms at one end of the building and upstairs were disruptive and could be heard moving around during the night. The couple who booked the third room made a terrible noise talking loudly while thumping along the hallway passing our doors at 1:00am to add to the disturbances and wake us again. So overall it was just somewhere to sleep for the night while getting the impression we tourists were being extorted again with overpriced but basic facilities. Somewhat disappointing to be sure.

Overpriced and Ordinary Accommodation”

We were very pleasantly surprised by this guesthouse. Very beautiful blue house, spacious room, very comfortable with large SDB. Very nice and a good restaurant in front of the bridge. The keys are transmitted by digicode, you don't see anyone but the place is impeccable.

Very nice, comfortable

The room is very large, the house is very nice and well located in the center of the artist village! It's a shame there is no breakfast on site. The self check-in is very convenient. Very well and very clean!
