9.6/10 Exceptional! (28 reviews)
Absolutely great. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Very spacious, spotless clean, totally fell in love with the floors. The sauna and tub were spectacular, got some amazing aurora views while relaxing in both. The neighborhood was great, with multiple stores like Bónus just a few minutes away. The owner was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

7.4/10 Good! (185 reviews)
We stayed here right after the eclipse -- I booked far in advance because I knew the whole peninsula would be busy. The hotel was as expected for an iceland hotel. It's an older building but it's nice. Had a good sleep. Breakfast was pretty standard. The location was good -- I wanted to be close to Kirkjufell for early morning photos. But we had no view of it from our room -- just some industrial warehouses. We didn't explore the town much.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (79 reviews)
Apartment was impeccably clean!.
Minor things could help, like a few extra towels! ! One bath towel and one hand towel per person for the week is a bit cheap.
Lights over stove were burned out and we were told the person who could change the bulbs was on vacation for the whole week. Lol
The washer/dryer worked well but not being able to only use the dry cycle cause some issues when things were not fully dry after the first run. You can’t just dry it more as it is an all-in-one machine and despite googling the manual, it seemed maybe this one was broken?
One fry pan and one pot made cooking a challenge. I needed a second small pot for gravy or the veggies etc
We did not know how the heat worked but the manager was quick to respond to my messages.
Overall great location, we walked to many museums and churches and grocery stores. We would consider staying here again
