"The ventilation fan in bathroom can’t be turn off. At night, it is partially noisy. Called staff but solve it. It is clarified this is not required by local code. It should be the top priority in to do list for the owner."

Parking is free and there’s plenty. Pop. of 1600, it’s clean, quiet and close to many places of interest. There’s a fish processing plant so you get an occasional whiff but Þorlákshöfn was truly a relaxing, fun, quiet alternative to Reykjavík.
