Cheap guesthouse, a bit far away from places and there is no breakfast, the nearest store is about 1.5km away. The room has a fridge and an old tv. Shared kitchen, toilet and shower. There is no staff in the guesthouse.

Clean, fairly central location. Would have liked more flexibility on check-in time or ability to leave luggage. We were able to leave luggage only because other guests let us in. Confusion with other guesthouse with similar name meant a looong walk from bus stop. No lounge. Dining area simply a room with counter and 4 stools. Kitchen had stove top, microwave, kettle, a few dishes.

the room was almost fully occupied by a double bed; no chair, no table and one tiny window which opened. The room was extremely hot with no obvious place to turn off the heat. It was a very unpleasant stay.

Entspricht absolut nicht den Bilder und dreckig!

Absolut nicht zu empfehlen! Entspricht nicht den Bilder, ist alt und kaputt und vor allem dreckig! Abartig dort zu schlafen. Wir wollten schon vor dem Checkin stornieren, weil alles dreckig war, aber das wurde von der Unterkunft direkt abgelehnt. Auch über Hotels.com kein Entgegenkommen. Auch auf Nachfrage wurde nichts sauber gemacht.

Good stay.

It was great. The refrigerator didn’t work in the room. I let them know. It’s a shared bath with basic amenities. There is a washer onsite free to use which is amazing. The dryer didn’t dry with heat.

Did not like that the bathroom wasn't cleaned regularly, we were there for 4 days, nothing was cleaned. Lack of towels, only one towel for 4 days. Pillows were terrible, mattress was okay. Need a mirror in the room so that you don't have to use the bathroom for a long period of time. Five rooms of guests using 1 bathroom, difficult to get in there. Didn't receive code for guesthouse until after we talked to the cleaning staff.

Alojamiento cerca de Bus Terminal Reykjavik

Habitación pequeña, pero cómoda y limpia al igual que el baño. Cerca de Bus Terminal Reykjavik, que es a donde llegas/sales para el aeropuerto de Keflavik.
