Clean and well-stocked hotel during our road-trip through Iceland. Staff was very friendly and helpful, providing information on where to eat/stock up on provisions. Loved the kitchen - after several days on the road, it was nice to cook our own food and eat in.

We stayed one night with three people in a private room. It was comfortable, clean and we appreciated having the space (one bedroom with kitchen). Staff was very nice. The room was starting to show minor signs of wear, but nothing significant that interfered with our stay.

The apartment is quite spacious, including the bathroom. It is stocked with various kitchen utensils, coffee, tea, and other essentials. The staff is very attentive; we lost our internet connection and couldn't view our reservation details, but we simply asked at reception, and they walked us to the apartment and showed us where everything was. We were able to park on the sidewalk right in front of our rental unit without any issues, it was completely secure. It was one of the most affordable places we found during our stay in Iceland, and it ranks among the best places we stayed.

Spacious comfort apartment in a quiet and peaceful location. Only a short drive (10-15 minutes) to Selfoss for supermarkets, restaurants, petrol station etc. The apartment made for a comfortable base to explore much of southern Iceland. Johan was incredibly friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Fantastic apartments, all fully equipped, spacious bathroom and with heated floors. Grand to have own parking space just outside the private terrace. Closeness to the ocean is marvellous and the ocean barrier perfect for promenades watching the tide. Our long term stay was wonderful and made even better by the service minded and friendly personel. Thank you and rest assured we will return when in Iceland next time.
