Clean room, warm and cosy. Not that big even if it was the biggest room, but okay for us. Central location but no parking. Also have to walk to the door from drop off point, take care if icy with suitcases as it’s about 200m away.

8.6/10 Excellent! (33 reviews)

Perfect location just a 10 minute walk from the bus station and the rest of town. Super clean apartment with everything we needed. When we arrived the cleaners were still there. She was very helpful and kind. The communication from the property management could have been better. Otherwise it was fantastic and will recommend to friends and family staying in Reykjavik.

An amazing stay with great views of the city from the hot tub. We loved how close the home was to the city without feeling like we were in a too crowded place.

Adventurous hike up to this waterfall. The hike is called Glymur. We had to walk through knee high water, jump rocks, use ropes to climb up steep cliffs, cross multiple rivers, walk on side of cliffs using narrow pathways, and walk through slippery mountain sides. Well worth it and made it even more exciting of a hike. I would suggest going here when visiting Iceland. It's approximately 1 hour and a half from Reykjavik. I took this photo while I was sitting on the side of a cliff overlooking the waterfall. Birds were flying side to side to their nests. It was truely paradise. #glymur #iceland #paradise #hikes #adventure # travel
