Iceland Cheap Holidays

Was deciding between 3 and 4 stars, chose 4. Location is the key - if you plan to drive from Reykjavik to National parks for hiking and sightseeing, it has an excellent location on the East edge of town, very accessible. Pretty close to Costco gas station as well, which is well worth to save money on very expensive gas (just like everything in Iceland). The parking is convenient, just a few lots between the apartments and nearby businesses - free and pretty abundant. Suites themselves are furnished OK, nothing special, but works: shower pressure is great (important moment), kitchenette has all necessary appliances, laundry room (if needed) is available. Cleanliness a bit subpar, when we moved in a smell of some either burnt curry or something, so we had to find Febreze in the store and use it. Big drawback is window treatments: it is summer, so 20+ hours of daylight in Iceland. Why not invest in some cheap blinds? The curtain is not thick enough, coupled with blinds would have been great. Yes, we did have sleeping masks but seems strange not to have some blinds like in any hotel. We had to shut down the heater completely, as only one small window can be opened, and it does get hot in the room. Good value for money but some things good use a simple improvement.

Room was clean, beds comfortable, lots of room and easily accessible. It was very warm in the room, so we kept the window open. Our room was below street level and as a result, quite noisy with the open windows.

We reserved the two bedroom apartment for our family of 5 and it was perfect! With two bedrooms, a sleeper sofa, a dining room, a small kitchenette, and a balcony overlooking the main street, we had everything we needed and then some! There is a grocery store a block away and you are close to everything! Nice and vibrant downtown area and a close walk to the water. Yes, bring eye masks and ear plugs as you are in a busy downtown area and the sun is always up. Absolutely lovely hotel. Would definitely recommend!
