Reviews
Huge shoutout to the lovely weekend staff member who helped us store our luggage until we left for Keflavík in the evening — you’re a lifesaver. ❤️
Would 100% stay here again!
Cons: The door sagged and a screw fell out of the lock in our room. My mom's room wouldn't lock at all. No washrag was provided, and the shower curtain would get all over you while showering. Something at breakfast made me sick. The WiFi did not work.
Overall: There are probably better alternatives.
