Great stay!

Since this was located in a small fishing town, I wasn’t excepting a whole lot and was very pleasantly surprised. The check-in process was very easy (considering there is no staff on premise). The room was large, bed was comfortable, and shower was great (stayed hot thru 2 back-to-back showers). Would have liked a second pillow for the bed and some hand towels. Other than that, no complaints.

Great place. Large room, Icelandic “double” room (two single beds put together). Large shared kitchen and a good location in town. My only complaint is that the smoke alarm went off at 2AM for no reason and stopped after about 15 seconds so my sleep wasn’t great

The property was clean and well located. The room was very small and when any other room used the shower or flushed the toilet you could hear the water rushing over head (ceiling above). The water rushing sound was loud. Otherwise good.

Location was great. We got lucky and had a room with a view of Kirkjufell out our window. Room and bathroom is small. Kitchen and frig downstairs that everyone could use. Tables too which was nice. It was clean and communication from the host for check-in, etc was really good. You never saw anyone though.

The property has a communal kitchen that allows travelers to cook their own full meals. Very convenient even though we did not cook. Since Iceland food is expensive this was a plus.

Very, very basic accommodation. I felt like I was staying in a youth hostel. There was nothing attractive about the room. For $320 per night this was by far the worst accommodation of our trip. Not even a receptionist to greet us. Shared kitchen facilities. It was very disappointing.
