Liked the community kitchen… great for eating take out as a family.. the room was nice… beds cozy and parking was spacious and readily available…. Poor communication on how to take advantage of the paid breakfast also appeared to have a hot tub but not filled or open… tried to get our room made after the first night but not certain how to make that happen. The local restaurant called Kim Yongs wings was great for takeout and the owner was very personable

Good Place to Stay
Small room with a comfortable bed. Tiny market across the street was convenient but minimal. Only one restaurant in the area, but it was very good. Wish this place offered a little more extras, like breakfast and more than just one roll of toilet paper. The location was great. It was close to the airport and easy to get to Reykjavik, too. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe.

A great place for a quick stop off close to the airport. This isn’t a hotel in the traditional sense but a well maintained rooms and good service. Not much in the area so having a car is a good idea. Thank you for an easy hassle free stay.

Lovely spot very close to KEF airport for early morning flight. Was greeted upon arrival and shown room, which was comfortable and well appointed. Use of separate kitchen a bonus. Didn’t use hot tubs but they looked inviting. Great place.

Okay place.
The room was fine but there's a ight right outside the room. It's so bright and it was impossible to block it at night in our window. There's two hot tubs but only one was open and it was too dirty to go in so that was a bummer.

A Gem of a Place!!!
This is a jewel of a place. Lovely rooms with super hospitable owners. Very clear instructions sent ahead to us. Very comfortable beds, extremely clean, with attention paid to details. A wonderful spot to land on our last night before we board a flight to leave Iceland. Would highly recommend.

Don’t let the exterior fool you, the rooms are very spacious and clean. Parking is very easy and right out front. Check in was easy. Not a lot to do in the area, but location is very convenient for the airport if you have an early flight the next day.

Location is convenient to the airport and well placed as a base for exploring Iceland. The room was spacious and comfortable and the shared kitchen is well equipped and conveniently located to the rooms. The managers were friendly and helpful. In short, a great find. We would certainly go there again.
