Helgrindur guesthouse is generally well-regarded for its spacious and clean rooms, which are converted from former bank offices. Many guests appreciate the modern renovations and the excellent location in Grundarfjörður, specifically noting the proximity to the supermarket and the view of Kirkjufell. The check-in process is a point of discussion; while some find the 'key in the door' method efficient and smooth, others express safety concerns regarding the lack of a traditional reception. While most reviews praise the cleanliness and comfort, a minority of visitors have reported issues with stained linens and maintenance. The host is noted for excellent communication, helping to facilitate the stay despite the unconventional setup. Overall, it is seen as a functional and well-located choice for a short stay, though the lack of an elevator may be a drawback for some.
