Guesthouse Carina

This is the first time to stay in guesthouse and it was such a nice experience. The place is lovely, clean, well equipped and spacious. Everything is labeled with instructions so organization is awesome, and helps respects everyones peace. Rooms are big and clean, guest kitchen has everything you need for your stay -microwave, kettler, fridge, dishes, everything. There is also a shelf with boardgames, puzzles, cards and so on. Resting area is away from the rooms where you can sit and relax. On the 2nd floor there is a small, cute place with toys and doll house if you are bringing kids with you. The owner and staff are at your disposal anytime and are so lovely and nice.

Guesthouse Carina was a delightful guesthouse with nice location in Vík. The accommodation was clean, well organised, cosy and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful with a breathtaking view on the mountains. There was also a free parking (that's still practical) and you can also find a lot of restaurants /pub not too far.

I usually prefer private bathrooms but had to book a room with a shared bathroom this time due to organizational issues. I didn't mind it at all as it was spacious and clean and most of the time unoccupied. There was a little kitchen area free to use with all amenities. At the breakfast buffet you could make your own fresh waffles, in addition they had the usual bread, cheese, cold cuts, jam, musli, yogurt and a few fruits.

The staff was great! They even looked up weather and road conditions to help us get an idea for our journey ahead. Breakfast (in their lovely dining area) had several choices. Shared showers were on the first floor and were very clean. Our room was large and had a table and chairs and comfortable beds. A shared bathroom was right outside our door. At the front door of the guesthouse was a basket of slippers and blue booties to slip over your shoes if you didn't want to leave them on the rack. The location was also great- right off the ring road and up the street from the Soup Company and Lava Show (wish we had had time to go!), and black sand beaches and waterfalls are not far. I would have enjoyed staying longer!

Our favourite was the common sitting area. Incredible view, stylish and cozy! You can relax or eat there. Beautiful location. The staff was very friendly, laid back and helpful. Our room was fine, right next to it you had a bathroom and toilet. We liked that though they were shared, there were enough bathrooms and toilets, you had no problems waiting. The common kitchen was also good. Many parking spaces. You don't have to necessarily take your shoes off, there are some shoe bags to use. We found this often useful!
