Despite the name, this is a two-bedroom holiday home on a quiet street in Hvammstangi, not a guesthouse with shared rooms. The fully equipped kitchen, with a dishwasher and microwave, and the dining area let a family cook every meal, and the washing machine helps midway round the Ring Road. My suggestion: use it as a base for the Vatnsnes peninsula, where the Hvítserkur sea stack stands. Sea and mountain views, free parking, 9.0 from 21 reviews.

Hvammstangi Hostel keeps to the hostel basics: a shared kitchen, a lounge and self-service laundry, with free private parking on site. WiFi is free in public areas only, not necessarily in the rooms. Hiking and fishing are available nearby. The rating is lower than most places in this area, so I would treat it as a plain budget stop for families and travellers who value the kitchen and laundry.
