Beautiful neighborhood close to shopping and restaurants. We were there during a hot week so the rooms upstairs would benefit from use of a fan since there is no A/C.

It’s about a 50 minute drive to Keflavík airport but very close to the city center (7 minute drive) and only 15-20 minute drive to Sky Lagoon). The beds were super comfy. Pretty rustic overall but that’s part of the charm.

Comfy but kind of busy.

We were there 3 nights and each night there was turn over of people about 3-4 new people. It was just a lot of change and noise and nuissance for a quaint little BnB.

The Photo Are Misleading

This B&B has multiple estates. The photo here, however, only shows the best parts of these facilities. The room/ house we stay in definitely needs maintenance. The sofa is dirty with dark spots everywhere. The entrance got stuck and was hard to push open from the inside. The bathroom is only a simple shower, not the ones in the photo and is dim. The rooms on the floor we stayed on were very dim, as they were in the half-basement, and the air was kind of steamy. The price is cheap, though

Self check in- never went to the main house to meet the manager. Didn't want to pay extra for breakfast. This property is necessarily the actual picture shown. They will bill you about a week before you actually stay if you use the pay at hotel option.

We had low expectations for this place and it was still disappointing. We booked a bed and breakfast but they do not serve breakfast unless you pay extra. It was too expensive so we went to the only open bakery nearby. Place seems to be run by unpaid interns. The house is about an hour walk from downtown. The house is poorly soundproofed so we woke up every couple of hours to people coming in and out even though I’m a heavy sleeper and was super tired. Would not stay here again. Feels like a landlord scheme.

Le logement est spacieux dans un evironnement calme, nous étions dans la green house, qui est un acien garage ammenagé, ce dernier est humide avec l'odeur qui va avec; l'espace cuisine n'est pas en très bon etat.
