Me and my wife were young. Not anymore. 
We got a room in the first floor. The way up is thru narrow curved stairs a fact what avoided us from taking our luggage with us. 
Even if if was on the ground floor, the room is so small , not enabled to put luggage inside. 
At the first floor, or at least in our room, the ceiling was inclined, and I banged my head in the ceiling several times, so I decided to sleep upside down, in order to avoid a critical accident during the night, while going to the toilets. Ah, I’d forgotten to mention that the bathrooms are outside the room. 
In order to get breakfast, you should go a couple hundred meters, to a restaurant located at the gas station, which opened only at 8 o’clock. 
At least the food was good.   
 There is no staff in the hotel and you receive instructions how to go in via email and sms.

Only good for youngsters

We stayed in the annex with private bath. It was a nice, big enough room, very quiet, with a comfortable sitting area.  But the beds with a bit bouncy mattress tilting to one side was not very comfortable. There was a very small kitchenette for basic breakfast needs. However, there were only 2 little spoons, 1 knife, 2 glasses and 2 cups, but no plates and nothing to clean up provided.  We bought paper towels to eat on them and for clean up. Using the kitchen in the main house was an option, but inconvenient walking over in the pounding rain, taking the shoes off, and also busy with people in the main house. We were charged for 3 expensive breakfasts in a restaurant nearby we had not booked, but the money was reimbursed the next day after my complain.  The small shower was remarkably well designed, but the sink in the bathroom was so small, I could not wash my face without getting my feet wet. We had only one hand towel for 2 people, fine for 1 night, but we stayed 3.  The hot water was highly sulfured, got used to it while showering, but bad for toothbrushing.  We liked the location with restaurant options in walking distance, and convenient for a day trip to Borgarfjördur Eystri to see the nesting Puffins, and a drive around lake Lagarflijot.

Convenient stay in Eglistadir

It is a nice place for a quick layover during the journey from Akureyri to Hofn. It is centrally located and has all the basic amenities in place. The rooms were a bit small in size. But there was a big common area which made up for the lack of space in room.

Good place for a short layover at Egisstadir

For overnight stop - suitable. Behaviour unacceptable!
Even though we were promised to pay upon arrival, the lady charged us beforehand, blaming some agencies we didn't have to do anything with! By trying to talk with her by phone, she cut the call every minute with the excuse that this is her phone system?!
Then, she charged us another time, same amount! HELLO!!!! 
No invoice, no receipt!
Only after our angry phone call she admitted double charging. After couple of days we were refunded. Astonishingly, this time she did it with no help of any agency! And the call wasn't cut! Hooray!
So, pay attention with your payment here!
Besides, the coffee is awful! No milk at the refrigerator, as promised!

Nice housing, bad attitude

This place is easy to find, especially with it being painted in bright pastel colour. Check in was simple. The room is clean, well furnished and stocked with all basic amenities for a night's stay. The twin beds were comfortable.

This place is also well located within easy reach to the town's shops, restaurants and other services.

We had a quiet room facing the pretty backyard with a multi tiered deck and large trees beyond. The view from the window in the morning was made much prettier with the snow fall and snow covered deck!

Pastel yellow and everything nice!

Room again clean tidy and well equipped, only had single beds but they were comfortable  and as for 1 night was not an issue, the room we had did have an ensuite which was clean with fresh towels and toiletries. The room was equipped with a mini fridge and microwave with table and 2 chairs. Although breakfast was not provided on site it was provided at an American style dinner a short 2 min walk away. The food there was cooked fresh to order

3rd stopover

Birta Guesthouse is a well located inexpensive guesthouse in the eastern capital.  Parking outside, we had an ensuite annex room which was excellent.  Rooms in the main house have shared bathrooms, and a shared kitchen (which we could also use).  It isn't staffed, as such, our room was unlocked at arrival, and instructions are inside (parking, wifi, kitchen use etc.).  No complaints whatsoever, would recommend to anyone touring the area.

Great option for overnight stop.

We stayed here one night in one of the annex rooms. There are 2 annex rooms in a separate building, but they still have access to the house itself for the kitchen and common areas. The annex rooms each have there own bathroom (if you stay in the house itself the bathrooms are shared) and also a refrigerator and microwave. The room itself was large and clean. The room did have a TV but only with limited channels (not a big deal for us but may be for others.) There was also a binder on the table with the WiFi password and lots of information about the area and activity and restaurant recommendations, which were very helpful! All in all a nice place to rest for the night and in a great town too!

Nice Guesthouse 

Booked via another app, this a lovely quiet guesthouse just off the Ring.  As with most of this type of accommodation you get shared facilities but this included a full kitchen and lounge area.  My one niggle would be that Booking.com shows the guesthouse as providing breakfast which it doesn't,  but there is a Netto just around the corner.
