Svartsengi Vacations

Clean and staff was good.

The host was warm and friendly went above and beyond to show us our room even though is was after 11pm

Perfect location in the heart of down-town Reykjavik. Full, but tiny, kitchen and a great breakfast delivered to your door every day. Even only two blocks from the Airport Flybus pickup for convenience to getting to and from the airport. Staff were very nice and accommodating - free luggage storage if you have to wait for check-in or check out before you're ready for your flight.

Nice location just a short walk from shoreline, block and a half maybe to a 24/7 grocery store. Had both European and American outlet access for recharging. Quick (5-10 minutes maybe) cab ride to KEF. This was an emergency booking for us and we were glad to get something clode to KEF but it turns out Keflavik was a delightful town in itself with restaurants and bars, touristy souvenir shops and a walkable path along the coastline. Hotel Jazz turned into a pleasant final stop on our Icelandic adventure

It was a score to find a four bedroom apartment by the harbor, right by so many great shops, restaurants and attractions with parking on the street! You of course pay for these conveniences and location in the rental price. The things we loved : • walking convenience • plenty of beds • a drop zone or “mud room” • a usable kitchen • free wifi • separate toilet from shower room • the exposed stone on the walls was beautiful The things that we didn’t care for: • the place was a SAUNA! we did not sleep because it was SO HOT. we had all of the registers off, windows open but there was no way to turn off the in-floor heating. • exposes insulation and missing wall board above the electric box • fine dust all over the floors in the restroom from the exposed stone • there is no living room or couch or armchairs. Your place to be together is in the kitchen around a table with very hard benches. Would we stay here again? NO. we got the apartment so that we would have a place to sleep. We could not sleep because of the extreme heat. ( and we stayed on a very cool day summer where it rained the entire time)
