The room was possibly the worst I’ve stayed at in Iceland, stained pillow and mattress, shared bathroom/toilet/shower in one tiny area. It wasn’t cheap either. Fabulous location though I wouldn’t stay there again

Hotel cancelled reservation because credit card « did work » I was in transit therefore didn’t know there was an issue until I got there at 11pm. Couldn’t find another hotel( tried 4 hotels then gave up). Credit card was fine- Charged taxi back to airport $260 (more than the cancelled room charge) and no issues. I receive email with check in information from 101 guesthouse same day they canceled

Did the job

My expectations were low, but I was satisfied with my stay. This place is older and basic, but it was clean and in a great location. If you are a light sleeper, be aware you will hear some road noise from the traffic. All and all I would stay again.

It was an okay hotel. I would have preferred a hotel with more convenient parking and personal bathroom…but that was known before I booked it. What I did not know is that the shower water would smell like rotten eggs. I’m guessing sulfur. It was really bad. I had to forgo the shower. Luckily it was only a quick one night layover to my final destination. I couldn’t imagine if this was a longer term stay.

I shared detailed feedback with the hotel. Consistent traveler here with over 30 countries experience. We all know Iceland is more expensive than other areas; please consider this a hostel/low budget hotel quality. The location is good, close to areas that one will want to visit. Although the town is so small that people who are fitter/enjoy walking will find nearly everything is in close distance. The elevator is reliable for those who have mobility issues. For people who have a one night stay and/or are on an extended, budget trip with no kids or elderly folks, this can be a reasonable stop over option.
