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.

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.

Very friendly staff and cosy atmosphere. Small rooms but all things you could ask for is in the general areas. Clean. Super helpful staff with excellent tips for hikes and sightseeing. We spent three night in total and would love to come back. Thank you so much Bitra ＜3

Notre expérience dans cet établissement : Tout était parfait !! La Chambre , l’accueil , le petit dej 4* ( varié avec de bons produits ) Bien situé juste aux abords de Selfoss Tarif accessible et endroit calme . Literie très confortable Personnel très accueillant

Bitra B&B est un endroit idéal où se déposer pour visiter le sud de l'Islande. En regardant les autres commentaires, il est vrai que les chambres sont plus petites, mais qui vient en Islande pour rester dans sa chambre si ce n'est que pour dormir à la fin d'une longue journée d'exploration. La maison est spacieuse, offre des environnements style lounge, micro-onde a notre disposition et petit frigo. Le buffet déjeuner est varié à tous les matins. Je recommande amplement ce guesthouse. L'insonorisation n'est pas à son maximum, mais tout dépend de vos voisins !

Keine Ahnung, wie die guten Bewertungen hier zustande kommen. Wir waren für eine Nacht in diesem Haus und froh, schnell wieder weg zu sein. Die erste Nacht nach einer langen Anreise hatten wir uns anders vorgestellt. Das Desinteresse an den Gästen wird hier offen zur Schau gestellt. Das Haus war früher offensichtlich ein Frauengefängnis und so fühlt es sich auch an, karge Zimmer, komische Stimmung, kleine Zimmer ohne Ausstattung und Komfort. Es gibt ein Gemeinschaftsbad für 20 Personen im ersten Stock, das Szenario morgens kann man sich vorstellen. Das Frühstück ist okay, nichts besonderes, Appetit hatte ich hier nicht. Wir hoffen, dass die nächsten Unterkünfte besser sind, nochmal würde ich hier nicht übernachten.
