9.4/10 Exceptional! (330 reviews)
Super walkable, very clean hotel. Our twin room was very small but fine for two for a night. A bit noisy, not voices but as if people were constantly moving furniture around in various rooms. Visited at the end of June and our room was SO hot. Happy we had good weather but the tiny window did nothing for temp control.

If you happen to be in Iceland, hop on a quick ferry ride to the Westman Islands. Here you can hike up the active Eldfell Volcano. On your way up you'll see the rocks change color, and spot a few active hot spots to feel the temperature rising from below. Make sure to get to the very top no matter how tired you are. It's a steep and rocky way up but the views from up there are astounding. #lifeatexpedia #travel #explore #iceland
