Aska Vellir

10/10 Excellent
"This was a great value, as hotels in Iceland are typically expensive. The room is not big, but it worked for four of us for one night. We just needed a clean place to shower and sleep. I had trouble figuring out the pull-out bed (you have to pull from the top of the sofa). I messaged the host and the host replied within a couple of minutes with a link to a video demonstrating how to pull out the bed. For a pull-out bed, it was quite comfortable. If you have a group of four, I wouldn't recommend it for more than one or two nights because it isn't that big. But it worked well for us, and it was an easy 30-minute drive to Keflavik airport in the morning. Again, it was a great value for what we paid, and it met our needs."
