1st night.. I only got luke warm water at shower....so ask staff next morning. They came...show me how to use the facet properly (as if I don't know how to use it) and everything was working. That night... luke warm water again no matter how i adjusted...I waited until water turned cold. I tried the kitchen sink to see if there is hot water...no.. whole apartment...all cold water. They clearly had a limited supply of hot water for the property but there is no one to address issue cause staff works only from 8am to 7pm. Honestly... what is truly insulting is that they pretended as if I used the facet wrongly in the 1st night (it's not rocket science!) and not even bother to warn us on the limited hot water supply on the cold icelandic weather. That's very insulting and unprofessional. Never again.

We had to remove our footwear at the main door

Location of our room was pretty great - you can Kirkjufell from the window.

Stayed in August 2024

Uncomfortable bed and bedding, lots of stairs, noisy vent in bathroom.

It was quiet in terms of other guests. The kitchen was useful.

Stayed in August 2024

No daily cleaning. Towels were changed upon request though. We could clearly hear our neighbours…

The location - stunning view from the room

A littel crowded in the morning at the shared kitchen. Otherwise a great stay.

Nice rooms, ok place to stay.

Don't know, just don't feel very comfortable.

Hotel by the ocean with a nice view of Mt. Kirkjufell.

Rooms so basic, beds small 80 cm wide. Should be 90cm. All Rooms on second floor. Walls very thin you can hear everything from next door.

Just lication and ok dubbing/kitchen.

The room photos shown in the booking website were not the same as against the room allotted to us. We had booked the room specifically with Kirkjufell view but another room was given, without prior notice.

Kitchen was clean and easy to access. Arrangement of coffee and tea made it easy to enjoy breakfast.

The room is very small.

Excellent shared kitchen

Small town. Only grocery store closed by 1700.

Our room had a great view of Kirkjufell Mountain. Shared Kitchen was nice to have.

Stayed in June 2024

Shoes off policy but no slippers provided. Very smelly kitchen, a bit rundown. No check in info provided, zero preliminary communication, you need to call a phone number. A previous guest's body hair was in the shower tray, I don't wanna know how everything else was cleaned.

Nice views from the window, good location in the peninsula for roadtrips. The ONLY room in our 2 week Iceland roadtrip where we slept in pitch black complete darkness: double curtains to cut off the light! Amazing!

Stayed in June 2024

Good sized rooms and kitchen facilities, really friendly staff and very welcoming

There was no breakfast at all. They had coffee if you wanted to brew a pot yourself. There was a fridge if you had food you had purchased and wanted to keep cold. The neighborhood was weird; it was an industrial area. I also didn't love that you had to take your shoes off downstairs and then climb stairs in your socks or bare feet. The stairwell was dark and the lights were off and the carpet wasn't as clean as it should be for the inconvenience of taking off your shoes. I had asked for two twin beds and got a queen bed with two separate comforters. I was staying with my friend so it was kind of awkward.

The view of the lake/sea was beautiful and close to a very nice restaurant. It was clean and quiet enough. It was fine... not awesome or great, but fine.

Stayed in November 2023

The common kitchen was dirty and very crowded, not enough space for several groups cooking. We didn't feel comfortable to cook there because it wasn't clean and organized enough. The room itself was small, no closet in the room.

The view from the window was amazing

Stayed in September 2023

Amenities were lacking. No soap, glasses, shower mat. Just basic things.

Stayed in September 2023

No blow dryer, cooking ware very few, no paper towel, the bedding is old very used and looked like dirty,facility is 2 star level but 4 star charge, I guess the money spent is far from worth it. It make people felt like treated very poorly

Room is spacious.

The floor is not very clean

Great location, saw the Aurora

On the flip side, it's worth mentioning a few considerations. Some of the towels provided did appear a bit worn and could benefit from replacement. Additionally, while the well-equipped kitchen was a plus, it did tend to get quite crowded during peak dinner hours. It would have been more convenient with an extra sink and additional counter space. Another minor inconvenience was the absence of a dishwasher, resulting in some dishes and utensils occasionally being less clean due to previous guests' washing. Lastly, the ambiance here leaned more towards a hostel than a cozy guesthouse, which might be a noteworthy factor for some travelers. Depending on your preferences, this communal atmosphere can either enhance your experience or influence your choice of accommodation.

The location of this place is undeniably fantastic. Our room boasted a stunning view of the iconic mountain and the breathtaking sunset skies. To top it off, we were fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the northern lights during our stay. The room itself was quite spacious and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen with its own stunning view. There are lots of dinning tables and also sofa with chairs and conference table. Free coffee and tea are available. There are lots of condiments, spices and seasonings left behind by previous guests, all available for free. This thoughtful gesture not only made our cooking adventures more flavorful but also exemplified the welcoming and communal spirit of this place.

Old, dated, but clean

Location off main road trip route, could use kitchen for cooking

Stayed in September 2023

Could be a lot cleaner. We found used towels hanging on the door. Shared kitchen was too busy and very noisy. Shower tray blocked and our room faced an industrial boat yard.

Its proximity to Kirkjufell mountain, comfortable beds

Stayed in September 2023

Beds were very uncomfortable, too soft. No place to put toiletries. Quite pricy for the category. Should be called a hostel and not a guesthouse for the quantity of rooms (quantity of rooms/people for one kitchen) and organisation (no staff on premises).

Nice, big, clean and sunny kitchen.

Stayed in August 2023

It was confusing how to get checks in. The bathroom sink is so tiny that you get water over the floor when you wash your face. Shower cabin is also very narrow and there was no body wash. So bring your own

Location and friendly staff. Super market and restaurant are nearby .

Stayed in July 2023

Bath towels and blankets are rough in texture.

Good price for Iceland property.

Stayed in July 2023

Had to open shoes at the entrance. Very bad smell of spoiled garbage at the entrance. Very bad smell inside the apartment 4. No pillows and bedsheets for the living room bed. Horrible shower curtain. Overall, very badly maintained apartment, extremely disappointed.

Location

Stayed in July 2023

The room was tiny and extremely basic - it didn’t even have a tv. We did have our own room and private bathroom but the place feels more like a hostel. There’s no staff availble onsite. We eded up locking ourselves out of our room for a while and could not get hold of anyone for hours.

Amazing location with Kirkjufell views - loved it! The Bjargarsteinn Mathús restaurant right opposite was absolutely wonderful as well - make a reservation in advance, it is popular.
