I clearly am in the minority but I kinda hated this stay. It was ranked highly and over $300 per night for a weeknight. It was anything but awesome. It was a pain to submit everything online. We had to reach out to get our code. Walked in and the view was staring at a construction site at a neighboring building with garbage dumpsters. The bed was very comfortable. I didn’t need a kitchen so that want helpful. I did not find it particularly clean (vents filthy, light fixtures, places housekeeping can’t reach), scuffed paint on walls. A shampoo dispenser whose dispenser didn’t work. An outlet for the hair dryer on the shower wall that was still dripping with moisture (no thanks). A fly buzzing around the entire night because they left the window open (thankfully) because Iceland doesn’t have AC. A mirror in the dining area was not clear or bright (gray:Smokey) so I could barely use it to see to dry my hair. All in all- my expectations were high based on the reviews and my experience was low

When we first got to the property, we weren’t too sure It’s very old, but it was clean. It appears to be in the old area of Iceland, where there’s a few hostiles. But at the end, we stayed in apartment, 102 which had a kitchenette, which was great because the price of food in Iceland is crazy expensive. It’s a self serve stay. Which we didn’t mind. It was walkable everywhere we needed to go. Love Iceland.

Very comfortable unit - not too small, outside door to a patio, convenient kitchenette, comfortable bed, clean new linens, room darkening shades, great water pressure in the shower. The one downside is the loud hallways and doors slamming. Use earplugs!

Location on a side street, down a hill. No check in personnel, a small waiting area with a locked luggage storage room, which could be accessed with a code. Our studio had a door to a private balcony which wouldn't lock, but after a call to the management, a repair man came and fixed it.

Just a few tweaks and this would be perfect.

Location was great. Listing said the room had a toaster, but this was not true. Instructions for using the hotplate were insufficient, we had to ask for help when instructions should have said that the pot needed to be placed on the hotplate for it to work. (Apparently this is obvious to some people!) Overall we enjoyed our stay.

This was a great place to stay as a single traveller. I was a bit disappointed in the quality of the wifi because availability, full access to wifi was intermittent and unreliable when I was trying to do email and other wifi related online transactions. I was able to save a lot of money by buying my own food to prepare all breakfasts, most lunches and some dinners. Otherwise I enjoyed my stay very much. I highly recommend this hotel.

Great location, but be advised!

We were locked out from the start, everyone that we ran into was. Door code gets sent through an email that looks unrelated. Door codes (multiple) did not work when we called. It was reset while we were still there for someone else locking us out after 10 PM in the freezing cold. This is also not a hotel. Expect to clean and take out your own trash. No free parking as was originally listed on my booking search (I believe this has been fixed in the listing). Great location, poorly run, was not correctly advertised.

We stayed 2 nights at Swan House. It was super convenient - it was right in the middle of town, and we could walk to most things, and just a couple minutes walk to the bus stop for things farther away. The apartment was nice and clean and had everything we needed for our stay. They had a luggage storage room, which was very convenient since we arrived too early to check in. We dropped off the luggage and took a taxi to Sky Lagoon and had a wonderful few hours before time to check in. We had an issue with access - the code we were given to access the outside door and luggage room did not work. I messaged them, and they sent a text back within minutes with a different code so we could access the luggage room before check in. Absolutely lovely place!
