Guesthouse Bitra B&B

Needed a one night stay in this area on our way back from the eastern side of the Island. Hotel Selfoss sold out right in front of me, so we needed another option. This guesthouse was available with a 2 bedded room with private bathroom (sorry--not sharing a bathroom!). Made the reservation and received confirmation for a check-in just a few hours later. Now I have never stayed in an accommodation such as this so I was a bit uncertain how things would be. I had also read reviews that said you will hear noise from the rooms around you. Found it easily and drove up. You are asked to remove your shoes at the door and use a pair of their plastic-like shoes while in the house. When we were led downstairs, I was a bit nervous because downstairs is usually cold. Settled into our room. Everything seemed very clean and the bathroom looked relatively new. Everyone was quiet a little after 11pm and we slept well here. In the morning (not super early) we could hear others a bit. Our room was next to the only other one with the private bathroom so we were a bit away from the other rooms and their bathroom. A light in the room had a USB port. Don't put things in the window--I folded a top and left it there overnight and the condensation on the window made it wet. oops. The breakfast was very good--it was a continental-style breakfast. Cereals, yogurt, breads, cheese, some meats. Coffee and tea. No hot options other than toasting your bread. We found it satisfying. Enjoyed our stay here and the location was perfect for our trek back to the western side of Iceland.

Cozy and comfortable guest house with good breakfast. Clean room and shared bathroom, staff are friendly and patient

Friendly staff, throughly explained all the amenities and what time breakfast was. Property was clean and comfortable. Good location and easy to get to.

Lovely place, beautiful area, and wonderful hosts. They even had a disc golf setup in a cove of trees with some discs to borrow, perfect for some light practice. Highly recommend!

This is an old farmhouse that has been nicely converted to a B&B with accommodations for all.

This is undoubtedly one of the very best guesthouses in Iceland. Other places may have individual things that are better, but they can not match the overall quality of this place. It starts from the moment that you arrive. there is someone to meet and assist you if you need help. Like many Icelandic places, shoes are not allowed inside. They have slippers of all sizes waiting for you. The rooms are nice, clean, and airy. The shared toilets and showers are very good. The communal room is very nice and well used. It is stocked with games and books and has coffee, tea, and water available. There is no communal kitchen, but there snacks and instant meals for sale at the desk, The included breakfast is excellent.

Super place! The bathrooms are shared but even though the hotel was fully booked, it never felt crowded, busy or dirty. It was very quiet and clean. Everybody was very respectful and nice. The breakfast was outstanding and generous with a great variety of options. We would stay here again!
