The rooms in the hostel are fitted with a coffee machine. Featuring a shared bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at The Coffee House also boast free WiFi. The units will provide guests with a fridge. Owner was very friendly and happy to give advice on places to go and she made you feel very welcome. This was the best accommodation we stayed in on our week's holiday in Iceland, would definitely stay again on a return visit. The communal space was spacious despite there only being 3 bedrooms, the bedroom itself was small but clean. The kitchen although small was very well equipped. The washer/dryer in the bathroom was also a perk The photos don't do it justice, they make the communal area/kitchen look much smaller then what it was
