The reviews of Hvammstangi Cottages paint a mixed picture regarding the accommodations focused on the beds. Guests repeatedly mention the beds as comfortable and the bedding as cozy, highlighting their well-made and good quality. However, several reviews bring attention to the small size of the double beds, noting that they are quite narrow and can be cramped for two people. In some instances, the lower bed offers only 70 cm of space per person, making it less ideal for sharing.
