Reviews
Not because the rooms are bad, but because the place feels like a huge nightclub (at least on the Saturday night when we stayed there).
There was extremely loud music from the nightclub that could be heard even in the rooms on the 4th floor, people having their own parties in the hallways with music, drinking and smoking, and when all of this was reported to reception, the response was simply “it’s Saturday,” with no intention of doing anything about it.
And so what? We booked a hotel, not a nightclub in Ibiza!!!
I strongly advise against staying here if you value rest and peace and quiet.
First, this feels like an office converted into a hotel room. The ceiling above can be opened to lead directly to the upper floor.
Second,in the bathroom, hand sanitizer shower gel and shampoo are all together in only one. It's like using it for everything – washing your hands, showering, and shampooing. This shouldn't be the experience of a three-star hotel.
Third,there has a large entrance door with cracked glass, which felt very unsafe. Anyone could come and go through that door at will, and no one was watching over it. The room door wasn't very secure either, there were signs that it had been pried open. We need to use coat hangers to secure the door, in case someone opens it at night.
Fourth, there wasn't even a bedside table. They used two stools as bedside tables.
Overall impression: This is a 1-2 star standard hotel, it's not worth the price.
unless you stay in one of their better rooms.
Though there weren’t any big issues with the hotel, I probably would not stay there or recommend it.
So good that we started and finished here.
The check in was great. The Hotel staff were polite and accommodating.
The breakfast is killer here. The buffet alone for breakfast is worth staying.
The rooms were clean and quiet.
You are downtown Selfoss, so many food and drink option within walking distance.
Ill be staying here again for certain.
