Arnarstapi Vacations from $890

Perfect for our needs.

Even though the property is located in quite a remote area, it’s very well maintained and offers great value for the price. The cleanliness and upkeep really stood out. I was especially pleased to find that the breakfast included a good variety of vegetarian and vegan options. A great choice if you don’t mind a quieter, off-the-beaten-path location and valley of tears and other breathtaking locations are also close to this spot. The only caveat is you need to let the hotel know about the late checkin and sometimes they dont pick up phone being short staffed.

We had a great stay at the Odinn. Finding the entrance was a challenge, but we figured it out. The pictures helped, but, there are 2 black doors. One is all black/located in an arched driveway area where many trash bins were located (this is the one you want) The other is black with glass panes accessible from the sidewalk. The lockboxes are clearly labeled but the labels didn't match all of the names on the Apt. doors during our stay. There are 2 codes; one is to open the all-black door. You enter, and go up the stairs to find the apts. Code # 2 is for the lockbox. It showed up on my email with tiny font under the 1st code. The host responded w/a copy of the original chk in info, but it took a while. I requested fresh towels 1/2 way into our 4nt stay. No response. Pros: --Location (walking distance to museums, stores, bus stops, laundry, etc) --Spacious Studio --REALLY comfortable beds and space --dishwasher Cons: --location (if you go to sleep before 11pm) --no washer --smell in hallway/stairs (smell was much better inside apt.) --access while jet lagged was a bit tricky --curtains were not full-black out curtains so the midnight sun seeped into the room. All in all, we had a great stay. It was right on top of one end of Rainbow street and was strangely quiet between 12-5a (for a city). Someone left a jug of soap in the shower and hand soap+dish soap were provided. The room was clean, warm and linens/beds were comfortable. The value/location worked for us.
