그림스툰가 게스트하우스

Access via gravel road on the way to Dettifoss east side. Newly renovated with the units next door still under construction, shared kitchen lacks an oven.

Das Guesthouse liegt an einer Schotterstraße und besteht aus mehreren kleinen Häusern mit sauberen, gut eingerichteten Zimmern. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Einziger Nachteil: Die Schallisolierung ist sehr schwach. Man hört Gespräche, Schnarchen und frühe Aufstehgeräusche fast so, als wäre man dabei. Insgesamt ein solider Aufenthalt – mit Ohrstöpseln deutlich angenehmer.

Les locaux sont flambants neufs, la vue de la chambre était parfaite, nous avons même pu voir des aurores boréales. La chambre était super propre et nous n'avons manqué de rien. Très bon accueil. Seul petit point : si vous prenez une chambre avec salle de bain privative, les batiments se trouvent a 6km de la réception.

Really the only bad thing getting there. Several klm of bad gravel road takes you to check in. That’s not where the lodging is. After check in you drive another 8 klm on right gravel to the rooms. We have a small car. The sleeping room was great facing north fir the Northern Lights. Room next to us had outside lights on all night. Community kitchen is great.

Grimstunga is a hotel that is about 10km from the reception area, which was startling at first because there is literally nothing around. After a day of driving and walking through Iceland, we were certain we’d find nothing as we drove down a very empty dirt road. But there it was! The rooms are small and there are some issues with the hot/cold water (at least in room 2), but it was clean and comfortable. Breakfast is prepared by the family that lives near the reception area and owns the hotel for a surcharge. It was plentiful and had a little of everything. The people who own the hotel, however, are absolute gems. Our rental car company gave us a car that was low on oil, making the light turn on. With the closest gas station a half hour away, we started getting nervous as it was a big driving day. The owner checked the oil and filled it for us from his personal stores. He even offered to speak to the rental car company on our behalf to have the price of the oil refunded. If you’re looking for very quiet, remote, clean rooms, Grimstunga is the place to go. If you want to meet some incredibly kind and helpful people, Grimstunga is also the place.

Petit bâtiment au calme. Petit déjeuner ok. Mais soirée très bruyante car les autres résidents ont parlé fort et longtemps dans la cuisine attenante à notre chambre.
