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.
Property manager was extremely kind when checking in. We had an amazing view from our room. Room was extremely clean and area was very safe. For our first night on our first trip to Iceland it was a great experience!
We really enjoyed our stay overall, however the room was very warm and the one window we could open a few inches had to be propped to stay open. The room was clean. Loved the communal kitchen and dining area.
