a relatively quiet stay

free parkingconvenient locationpoor ventilationbroken fan

i liked the free parking outside the building it was quite convenient. also, the location allowed quick access to the city center, i found that very useful.

the room lacked sufficient ventilation there was noticeable condensation on the windows. also, the bathroom fan was not working, and there was only one light switch at the entrance, a bit inconvenient.

reasonable downtown lodging

convenient locationown parkingwarm roomsmall window

location worked well. the access to the shopping street was less than ten minutes by foot. my own parking space in the city was available too.

the room was quite warm while sleeping. only one small window was able to open. i know iceland probably doesn't get that hot usually, but more airflow would have been better.

reasonable studio stay

bathroom designcomfy bedroom changedusty headboard

i loved the bathroom design and the showers. the bed and pillows were comfy too. we also appreciated the huge radiator on the wall i could turn on and off as needed.

we were told one room was ours but the code didn't work. the room wasn't as pictured on the website. there was obvious dust on the headboard and the pans in the kitchen hadn't been cleaned.
