Arrived and found that they don’t have reception only a key pad. Hadn’t got any email from Expedia letting me know this. We had no idea how to get in. A guy helped us and rang someone who gave us the pin and how to locate our room. Not a pleasant way to be introduced to Iceland. Our room smelt like sewage. It was large but dark and very poorly furnished. Next day for breakfast we didn’t have a voucher. Luckily the restaurant took our room number and let us have breakfast. Breakfast was fine.For what we paid it was extremely poor value. Kitchen facilities were so dirty could’ve used and not even one cup to be seen.

Great location and within walking distance of a lot of stuff! Only complaint is the room was slightly dirty upon arrival. The housekeeping left behind used cleaning towels, a glove IN the toilet bowl, and the shower had stuff from the previous people left behind. We did get breakfast down the street through the hotel each morning which was great!

This was disappointing: I had to chase Brim to pay for the booking, the rooms were dusty and shabby, chipped paintwork, stained carpets and torn pictures, I had no hot water on the first night and the communal coffee machine ran out. Customers need to understand that this is very basic, not enough storage in some rooms (when other, larger rooms were available), no hair dryer etc.

Breakfast was good, maybe the best part of this property. Shower was old and gross. Guest room and breakfast room are very dark. Probably by keeping it dark, they can hide some dirtiness of the property? There’s a reason why it’s super affordable compared to other places around the area.
