Why guests love itI would choose Gistihús Olgu for a simple, practical night in Fellabær. It is a low-key guesthouse two minutes on foot from the East Iceland Heritage Museum, with simple rooms, some with kitchens, plus free Wi-Fi, free parking and a garden. Breakfast is included, and Glóð Restaurant is a 4-minute walk. Guests rate it 9.2 across 78 reviews. It is plain rather than polished, so I would pick it for budget-minded travellers and families who want the basics well covered.
