Mar Guesthouse

Guesthouse

We arrived and one key was missing … the cleaning is very poor at arrival and during stay they dont clean, dont change towels, dont make beds, no one at reception, … Not again.

We've stayed here a few times in the past. It has gotten worse over the years. Our room had been barely cleaned and there was dirty towels left from the previous guests. This is a nice location but have low expectations if you stay here.

Good for one night. Adequate. Shared bathrooms. Clean.

Very nice place. I only spent one night there on my way back to airport and the blue lagoon. It's about 4 miles straight shot drive to the blue lagoon. It's a guesthouse so you share bathrooms with everyone. But when I was there there weren't many people. There's a kitchen, common dining area, glasses and it's clean. They have nice towels and the inside is the building is well kept and seems newer.

My friend and I had an incredible experience at Mar Guest House. The staff was accommodating and helpful and the facility was very clean! I highly recommend staying here!

This was a great place to stay while visiting Iceland. The staff was friendly and made me feel at home. I fad nice conversations with Klara. From my heart, thank you. Hope to return someday.

Great location. Easy check in. Good rooms. Common area a bit dirty, but overall still very nice.

Clean, spacious rooms, with decently equipped kitchens! Would definitely stay again.

Trendy hotel, beautiful spacious rooms with cathedral ceilings, and great amenities (shared kitchen with refrigeration). The room rates are also extremely affordable. Although you share 4 full baths with showers per floor, we never had to wait. The staff is also extremely friendly. However be certain you check in between 2pm and 6pm, since there will be no one at the desk later than that. They need to post after-hours check-in instructions. Be sure to get the owner's email address when you make reservations. You can use their Wi-Fi and password to E-mail the owner, who will give you a numeric key code to punch in to a magnetically locked key box to get your key and get in the room.

Other than when checking in I never saw any employee of the place. That's not necessarily a complaint, as I had no issues with the clean and spacious room at a reasonable (for Iceland) rate. Couldn't figure out how to see anything on TV but who goes to Iceland to watch TV anyway? It's a bit isolated feeling, but a good base for exploring the Southwest corner of Iceland.

Great guest house! Beautiful rooms, quite large and well preserved. The staff is wonderful and very, very helpful. Really enjoyed my stay at this top guest house.

The guest house is well designed and furnished. The rooms are large and clean. I was in a well designed open plan studio. The entrance was wide and roomy with a wall of storage on one side and a private bathroom on the other side. The lounge area had a settee and coffee table. The kitchenette had a counter, cupboards (with all the necessary pots, plates and utensils) sink, fridge, stove, oven and a dining table and chairs. The bedrooms area had a desk by the window through which I took my pictures of the "Midnight Sun" I could have stayed there forever.

Mar sents their guests a code for a security box with the room key in it. Therefore, we weren't dependent on a certain arrival time which is a huge plus. Especially in Iceland, when you have daylight until 12pm and can do stuff until late night. The Guesthouse and rooms seems to be very new. It does not offer breakfast but they have a nice and big shared kitchen on the ground floor. The Mar Guesthouse belonged to the most inexpensive hotels on our trip and offered for us the best price/quality ratio.

The Guesthouse is located in the middle of an industrial quarter. There was hardly any toilet paper, the kitchenette was not clean, leftover food in the fridge. For the rate they take, this should have been much much better.

Very good Guesthouse! Big rooms, clean and comfy beds. Big clean modern bathrooms and very big kitchen. Very friendly helpful staff. Close to Blue Lagoon and Airport. Cool photo spots in the surrounding bay.

We had such an amazing visit to Iceland. Our hostest at the Mar Guesthouse was so kind. She was able to point us in the direction of many "off the beaten path" adventures. She knew just what type of day trips we were after. The room was clean, comfortable and just perfect! I highly recommend staying at Mar Guesthouse.
