駐車場は施設の前に3台分しか無かったです。他にあるのかは不明です。 玄関で靴を脱いで入るので、床は多分清潔です。 ホテル内はスキップフロアが多く多層階の作りになっていてとてもオシャレです。 各フロア3部屋位でしょうか。 それぞれのフロアにソファやカウチなどくつろぐスペースがあります。 バスルームには、シャワーとトイレと洗面がありますまあまあ清潔でした。キッチンも割と清潔です。 ですが、スキップフロアで建物全体が繋がっていたため、誰かが臭いの強いものを料理したのか建物中臭いがキツかったです。  あと、スキップフロアゆえに音が響く感じで騒々しかったです。 帰国の前日に、スーツケースの整理をするためホテルに宿泊したのに、階段だらけでスーツケースー運ぶのが本当に大変でした。 帰国前日に泊まるのはお勧めしません。2泊以上の滞在が良いと思います。 住宅地の中にあるので、アイスランドの住宅に泊まるような体験ができた点は良かったです。

Good basic accomadation

Good value for money but this is not a luxury hotel. Buses to city center nearby but it is out of town. Plenty of parking. A bit slow at providing us with room access details.

This is a "self-help" facility. There is no staff. My room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. But shared bathroom and kitchen could use some TLC. The location is great if you have a car, but way out from the center (40-50 minutes by bus), so beware.

Charming room in a charming house with clean sheets and simple living setup in a shared group house space. We were unsure of which room we were in since we made the reservation three months in advance, but found the original confirmation email which sorted it all out.

Établissement à fuir

Notre dernier logement avant notre départ. Quelle erreur ! Nous nous sommes retrouvés dans une chambre de 10 m2 , une chaise et une table de nuit. Il n’y avait même pas la place d’ouvrir ses valises dans la chambre. Le lit est collé aux fenêtres. La salle de bain pas propre. État des placards de salle de bains et cuisine sales. Le sol idem.

Stayed for two nights and only ever heard other people once during the stay. Like other reviews said, it had kind of an eerie feel due to that but we had peaceful sleeps. Lots of stairs and interesting layout of the house! Could only find one working shower on the property but drained extremely slow requiring us to stop and start the water flow. Bathrooms were not clean (toilets dirty, multiple toilet rolls around) and garbages not emptied during our stay. Fridges full with extra food not sure who it was. Family who lives attached to the house (?) was friendly.

Decent place, could have been better

The cleanliness was not in order, bathrooms were dirty when we checked in, had to raise a complaint with the owner to get them cleaned. The wifi connectivity was really pathetic, since we came from a different country, it created inconvenience for us as wifi was the only way for us to stay in touch. The location was fine and was 15min from Reykjavik. Overall, it was what we paid for, as it was the cheaper option

Don’t stay, must remove this nightmare from listen

hotels.com should remove this kind of product from your listings. it's typical family house and runs as airbnb . It will destroy your reputation . 4 nights stay here, you can judge immediately that bed linings are used with wrinkles and unwashed without any laundry chemical smell, they’re disgusting. Day 1 and Day 4 are same smell on bed linings with body odour and sweat after my 4 days stays. No shower gel and shampoo. Internet is almost not working . No check in instruction before arrival and call the number on the door with nervous Hopeless assistance and it’s hard to contact My food was stolen in the fridge. Noise spread everywhere in whole timber house.
