Check in with code was easy. No oil, salt and pepper. Texted staff 2 times no response. Check out is 11am but staff came at 10:15am but nice and let me finish packing up. Very clean and comfortable.

In general the stay was very pleasant, sadly there is no luggage storage anywhere on the premises. When I asked for one I got a link to a company that provides self storage service, but nowhere in Selfoss, so that was interesting. Luckily we were able to check in earlier, if not we would have lost half of the day, as it’s difficult to hike with luggage, and we were travelling by bus, so could leave luggage in the car. There is no reception, you get codes to access your room, so be sure to ask for those as we got ours when we arrived after requesting it. In the room you would find great bathroom fully disabled-friendly, clean and spacious. Bedroom had two single beds clipped together to work as a double with very comfortable mattresses. Small fridge was more than enough, but sadly in terms of equipment there was only capsule coffee machine and two cups. No plates, cutlery, tea, just few coffee capsules and nespresso machine. TV set mounted on the wall had few channels with mostly English TV stations, that’s was also surprising. Overall it’s a great place to stay on your way either east or west of southern coast of Iceland.

We stayed here for one night on our Iceland trip. It was nice, clean, comfy. We had a little trouble getting into the lobby front door but we called and they helped us get in. The apartment was large and came with everything we needed. There is a foyer for your boots/shoes which is nice but there wasn't a good place to hang coats. We tried to book it for another night but it wasn't available. We would stay here again!

Terrible check in experience.
The rooms are good, clean, and comfortable. However, the check in experience leaves a lot to be desired. There is no check in desk here and there is just a voice doorbell that you can call reception with. This doorbell has a 1 minute call timer limit on it, so if you will have to call again several times to check in and get information about how to get into your room (if there is someone available to pickup - we called several times before anyone was available, standing outside in the rain). The doorbell voice is also very quiet to hear with the street traffic right beside the door.

One small window and it was very warm with a huge comforter for winter. It is summer here and I know maybe not warm for some but some of us run Hot!. This apartment had a small window overlooking route 1 a busy road. It was a comfortable apartment and super convenient. Would have liked a smaller less cumbersome blanket summer weight. But I know I'm probably in the minority on this. But check in was super easy, all online. Would stay here again.

It was great for one night. Room was clean, good size for two people, water in shower was hot, and beds were pretty comfortable. There’s a restaurant downstairs with decent sandwiches. The only negative was that the room was extremely hot because of west exposure. It cooled off after sunset though and night was pretty nice.

A nice modern hotel right in the middle of Selfoss. There is a self check in process that we had trouble with at first because we didn't get email instructions because it was a last minute booking. A quick call with the included phone in the lobby and we were all set. There is no included service in the lobby but you can make coffee in your room. We did not receive room service either during our stay.

Frustrating check-in
The check-in process did not work. There is no front desk, so no one to assist. Travelers are supply to receive an email with the key box code to pick up their keys. We did not receive the email and the phone number provided led to a recording in Icelandic. We tried sending an email, but got no reply. We found someone who spoke the language who interpreted the recording for us and got a new number to call. Finally, we got a live person who gave us the code for the key box. It was frustrating and time consuming for two travelers after an overnight, sleepless, 7.5 hour flight.

But there is a phone which is easy to spot in the arrival hall with info what no. to call and it is very strange that your call was answered with a recording, we have a 24 hour duty English speaking monitoring our phone number to help in case there is any issues with the self Check in.

Terrible check in!
Terrible check in experience. Received email with code for back door that I didn’t need and it said I would get another for my key. Never got second email. Tried calling all the numbers on my reservation confirmation and nothing. When I arrived there was a sign that said check in at kiosk; there was no kiosk. Called and got the answering service, took them ten minutes to transfer me to the manager who finally gave me a code for me key. Room was fine, water smelled a little odd and the drain in the bathtub didn’t work.

Comfortable and Convenient Apartment on Route 1
Clean modern apartment with comfortable beds, hot shower, and blackout blinds on Route 1. Free parking. Walk 30 seconds to 'GK Bakari' for a fresh bakery breakfast or 'Matarlyst cafe' for lunch/dinner. Few issues with self-check-in: I received the 1st email with key code to enter the Bella building, but not the 2nd email with key code for the room, so make sure you receive both emails in advance! The phone number listed in the 1st email didn't work on my mobile/cell, however, the owner was friendly and resolved the issue quickly via the Bella lobby landline.

It was not very cold that night and blankets are very warm, so we survived, but hotel staff did not do anything to fix the heat. they just said it will be warm in 2 hours. so we waited. did not warm up, we came back-no one at the reception. so we just went back to bed and it was ok, only because the dawn blankets are very warm.

We requested 2 twins beds. When we went up to the room, the 2 twins were connected by a big fitted sheet, blankets, etc. I went down to tell the front desk receptionist, and she handed me extra bedding for me and my friend to separate and make our own beds ourselves, as opposed to setting us up with a different room with what we requested, or having a staff member do it. After a long day of hiking/driving, me and my friend did the room rearranging of moving the beds and making up our own beds. I then went to take a long hot shower, and quickly found that the water smelled of sulfur (aka rotting eggs). All in all - wish we picked a different place to spend the night.
Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019
Response from Siggi on 26 Oct 2019
Dear Patricia, I am very sorry about this regarding the bedding. This is absolutely unacceptable on behalf of our staff to let you make the beds your selves. I will certainly take it up with my staff to make sure this will not happen again! I suspect that this is due to the fact we have one new staff member who did not realize she should have done it for you? As for the smell from the hot water, I am very sad to hear your harsh words on the 100% natural geothermal hot water. There is just a slight smell of sulfur and one gets used to it very soon (after few seconds). This is quite common in Iceland that the hot water is used straight from the ground.
