The Hvítá Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We loved the cozy atmosphere we felt upon arriving at the Inn. There's a common area to hang out in with board games to play, with comfy chairs and a dining area aswell. The hosts offered free coffee or tea which was a nice touch. Our room was clean and the beds were comfy. The bathroom was a little small with an awkward curb on the floor for the shower area but thats more of an observation than a complaint. The breakfast was very good. We would definitely stay here again"
