Carlo
Very nice, well kept, disegn fornuture... but also very expensive wrt to other alternatives. Needed to leave shoes at entrance of building and not entrance of apartment... quite strange and not easy if you carry family luggage alone from parking on the second floor if price is ok, the interior will not let you down. Our children jumped a bit and owner came immediately to reproach: correct but feeling was fsmilues not as welcomed as adult only. Which is steange when you rent a 6 bed apartments Bonus: washing machine to wash clothes on the go.

I loved staying here a couple of nights to dodge some Icelandic weather. The owner Gunnar was hilarious (very dry sense of humour) really helpful and friendly, as is his daughter Isabella (apologies for any misspelling). The rooms and bathrooms were really clean and comfortable and the kitchen had all we needed. Great history to the place too, reflected partly in the photos in our room one depicting Gunnar's father on a small whaling vessel in the fifties.
Erina
Great service and great room. The owner was awesome! The room was very cute and modern. The shared kitchen and restroom was nice and had everything we needed. The owner helped us get our car out of the snow after the snowstorm. He’s a hero!..haha definitely one of the better places we stayed at this Iceland trip. I will be back.

We had the apartment for 8 pax on the top floor - tiring climb with luggage. There was only one bathroom in the apartment but this seemed to be the norm in Iceland. Equipped kitchen and washing machine in the apartment which were great. Not all the radiators in the apartment worked though. Good location with easy access to shops and eateries.
Markus
Great value for this price, everything is VERY clean and tidy, I mean extraordinarily clean, I haven't stayed in such a clean hostel ever before. For Iceland the price they charge is really low price and it's fair, because as a young traveller you don't have that much money and it's nice if you can go without spending a fortune and still have a comfortable bed (yes, you have actual BEDS in this hostel, not some old shaky bunk beds like in many other hostels).

The kitchen is also very good, I was missing a stove, but then again you have free tea/coffee which is awesome.

The staff/owner is very nice as well. (Very) late arrival was no problem at all, I sent an email and they responded within an hour, arranged everything for me and I had a warm and cozy bed waiting for me after a very long and tiring drive.

Bathroom / restroom is very clean as well, you also have a sink in the room, which is nice, so you don't have to go to the bathroom to shave/brush your teeth.

Really appreciated the hospitability.
