Thorkotlustadir Vacations from $1,079

Rooms were not cleaned on arrival. A phone call to the inn keeper was successful in getting someone to come out immediately to clean the guest house. For the price of this rental, the property was tired and rundown. The shower overflowed/leaked. The kitchen was nice even though we did not use it.

Avoid! Disgusting property, toxic environment, left due to nausea, vomiting, headaches caused by their poor ventilation system of the noxious gases intruding into the room we were provided. Symptoms came on within 30 minutes of being in the room to two different people and escalated quickly. Reported to hotel staff, he said they are full and there’s nothing he could do. We advised that we must vacate for health reasons and find a new hotel. Property didn’t care. We seek full refund. Radio silence. In the new hotel the same evening, without medication, two hours later all symptoms resolved. Ate dinner at their restaurant, before going to the room, $200 for two entrees, a salad, a soup (soup so terrible couldn’t eat - waitress didn’t care about a full soup bowl left uneaten - insultingly overpriced even for Iceland, very poor quality). Nothing about this property is worth it. Tons of options. We had amazing stays and food elsewhere. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

Great people and wonderful breakfast.

This was the perfect stay for our trip. The location is just a couple of short blocks from the main shopping center and from the waterfront (you can’t beat the location. The included breakfast basket and fresh bread saved us so much money as we were able to make it last for breakfast and lunch. Having the kitchen to store and heat food was super helpful. We rarely lounged in our room. We were on the go most of our trip (driving as far south as Diamond Beach and back in one day!). If you plan to also be out and about then this is a great stay. Black out curtains made sleeping in the summer easy. I wouldn’t pick this location if you were looking for a lounging vacation (it doesn’t have a lot of chill space). Some things to note: Checking in was the hardest part because you need to park (preferably in the P3 parking area) and walk to the main location. Our room was in the Tannery which was a couple of blocks away from the main registration location. Another thing to note is the dryer situation. The dryers don’t work well. We had clothes in there for 3 hours and they remained wet. We ended up hanging them on the heated towel rack or just in the closet area. One time they allowed us to use the service dryers (those worked great). We loved the staff, loved our room, and really loved the breakfast!

Absolutely great. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Very spacious, spotless clean, totally fell in love with the floors. The sauna and tub were spectacular, got some amazing aurora views while relaxing in both. The neighborhood was great, with multiple stores like Bónus just a few minutes away. The owner was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
