Disliked: Amenities
Check in was clunky. You needed to call to get a code, but the confirmation email had one incorrect and one correct number. The free phone in the building listed the correct number but no one answered after numerous attempts. Finally emailed both listed emails to get a response. Whole building smelled like petroleum. Room was run down, but fairly clean and safe. Bathrooms were also rundown. Kitchen had basics, but don’t expect anything besides free water.

While the property is safe, there were too many spiders in the room. If you are scared of them, this may not be a place to sleep.

We thought this place had a decent room and shared kitchen area, although only one out of the two stoves turned on when my husband and I were cooking. The shared bathroom situation was a bit of a challenge for me since I'm in my third trimester, and to get there I had to go through three doors and a brightly lit hallway in the middle of the night. All in all, it's a good place to sleep if you can get through the night without having to pee.

Not even close to advertised

Misleading pictures and descriptions. The geo thermal pool is a block away and community, not on site and you have to pay. The bathrooms were tiny, dirty and the woman’s room had no lock. Most dispensers had no paper towel and the overall feel was grimy.

Yuck ! Worst place we have stayed in Iceland. Toilet room stuck of mould and sewage. Really weird , mouldy shower. Small room. Bad vibes all round. We hated it so much we cancelled our second night and booked elsewhere, thus, loosing the cost of the room. Complete dive!
