We had flies in the unit and no flyswatter or spray to get rid of them (we could not determine where they were coming in from as no windows were open). The contact phone number on the information card did not work and the email sent to the email address on the information card was not deliverable. The wifi code on the information card did not work (we were able to get it off the router). The unit was charming and the historical building is cool but it is unclear whether the keypad code is changed after guests check out. Easy walk to the shopping and restaurant area.

Convenient location and a cool looking old house. However the walls are paper thin, I mean being able to hear the person in the other room crumpling paper or moving blankets. The kitchen was odly stocked (no deep bowls for cereal, no scissors etc), and there was a posted cleaning fee, but nothing provided to clean with. Also no laundry faciltiies in a longer term stay isnt great either. Also in places the paint was chipping, and the upstairs neigbors (different ones) woke us up all week, and downstairs too

Lovely house, disappointing stay

The apartment was lovely, however, our apartment was on the middle floor, with another rental apartment (same owners) above. Unfortunately, I can only assume that the apartment above has floorboards and the guests staying in the apartment above had children - all we could hear each evening was people running around above us until after 2200hrs, loud voices and doors banging, even in the early hours (which woke us up). On our second morning we were woken by tbe running around at 0644hrs! Perhaps the owner could make a point of highlighting to any guests uostairs that there are guests downstairs too? The accommodsation was.spacious and comfortable, but we did experience a number of small issues which could have been avoided - there weren't enough pillows on the main kingsize bed (two thin pillows and no spares available). We also couldn't get the satellite box to work on the TV as we had no code. We did message the owners to ask for the code but they didn't respond. And there were no instructions for anything, not even a wifi code for us to use. Overall, the accommodation has lots of potential, but unfortunately for us this was the worst accommodation experience we have had in a while - two sleepless nights - thanks to the noisy guests staying in the apartment above.

Beautiful 2 night stay at the Historical house for our family of four. Conveniently located in a charming setting with walkable surroundings. Good option as home base for day trip to Húsavík just an hour away. Was spacious and had everything we needed. Also close to delicious Brynja ice cream shop!

Really nice old building, easy to park, close to town. But the WiFi didn’t work, attempted to contact the property manager but no response. Also the gas stove didn’t work so we could not prepare food.

This was an incredibly charming renovated space with gorgeous layout and a full kitchen. My only caveat is that I am immune compromised and putting incense sticks out in the living room made it unpleasant. They were completely unnecessary

The place was very quaint and had a lot of character. Easy to walk downtown and the view was good. Needs some attention to cleaning and maintenance. Some glasses were very dirty and there was a lot of flies. Shower glass was covered in soap scum. Pointed out a few items but got no response back. We were in a lower unit. The stairs to go to the upper unit were beside our bedroom. There was a locked door as a secondary access to these stairs. It sounded like people were coming into our bedroom when guests for the upper unit came home. It’s was very loud as people came and went. To be expected in such an old building but we could hear foot steps upstairs and talking in the unit next door. Liked the historical look of the place. Nice place but could be better with a bit of work.

A very beautiful historical building. Kitchen is basic. Somehow the cooking oil was kept side by side with hand soap. At beginning I took it as dish soap and was wondering why plate was even more oily … ends up we dared not to use it as cooking oil either . Check in is a bit confusing. I did not get email instructions with in 48 hours. So I have to call the property. The key lock is painted white, same color as the wall, which took us a while to find it out.

I’m sure the hotel and surroundings were beautiful but we never got to stay there. We had a family medical emergency that caused us to cancel our 10 day Iceland vacation and family wedding. Despite numerous calls and emails well in advance of our reservation, the management refused to budge on refunding or even crediting us for the $1000 CAD bill we had pre-paid. All the other 5 hotels we had booked in Iceland were understanding and gave us the refund. I and my family were extremely disappointed with this outcome.

Noisy 2 bedroom

The first experience we had was not being able to get in the front door. It took 10 minutes. The lock is extremely difficult and hurts your hands to get in with the key. We were glad we were on the ground floor because of getting our suitcase upstairs. The coffee had one cup left in the container so we skipped getting any coffee. This is a nice place overall. The street noise is very loud. You can also hear your neighbors. People can also see in with the blinds that are up in the windows. The parkings spaces are extremely tight. You have to make sure you suck in when you get out of your vehicle. I did not feel very secure with the code to the lock on the front door plain as day. Plus side is that it is about a 10-15 minute walk to go downtown to get something to eat. All photos attached are from the front door
