Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property was clean and well located. The room was very small and when any other room used the shower or flushed the toilet you could hear the water rushing over head (ceiling above). The water rushing sound was loud. Otherwise good.

Location was great. We got lucky and had a room with a view of Kirkjufell out our window. Room and bathroom is small. Kitchen and frig downstairs that everyone could use. Tables too which was nice. It was clean and communication from the host for check-in, etc was really good. You never saw anyone though.

The property has a communal kitchen that allows travelers to cook their own full meals. Very convenient even though we did not cook. Since Iceland food is expensive this was a plus.

Very, very basic accommodation. I felt like I was staying in a youth hostel. There was nothing attractive about the room. For $320 per night this was by far the worst accommodation of our trip. Not even a receptionist to greet us. Shared kitchen facilities. It was very disappointing.
