Þrúdvangur 32,34,37, 850 Hella, Iceland –

When arrived, was no rooms left..., even , I payed on booking week ago... Host never answered the phone, was terrible.... 3 hours been trying to reach someone to help me.... until the room service found for me some small room in the building... Wanna full refund for this night...

Convenient location and very accommodating, with a much appreciated early checkin.

We didn’t like like anything as we had booked a holiday apartment with private bathroom and we ended up with two hostel rooms and shared facilities.

Alexander

Australia

The room was spacious and clean. The kitchen facilities were nice and big too. The ladies bathroom was spotless although the men’s looked a little bit worse. Overall excellent value for money. The location is between Selfoss and Vik, a very short drive to either and much better price.

The rooms were nice and the place is at a quiet place, I did enjoy the showers and they were nice and clean, it smelled nice in the hostel

Great self check-in and check-out procedure.. it allows you to get and to leave there almost whenever you prefer. The kitchen was quite well equipped and the showers were ok. You need to have a car to get here! There is a grocery store close by.

Nothing - one of the worst hotel experiences ever! Accommodation was dirty and we could not find anyone in the hotel to contact us - there was no one at reception. Awful experience - don't stay there!

We had the standard twin room. The beds were comfy and the room was clean. The shared kitchen is nice and well equipped.

The bathroom is out of date and not very clean. The lock on the toilet door was broken and therefore difficult to use.
Location was good, near a supermarket. Room was small but clean. There was a small sink in the bedroom which was very handy. Kitchen has microwaves and other amenities. Room opens with a code which we were sent beforehand.

Room is small, if you have 2 28" luggages, the remaining space in the room is pretty much occupied all.
Spacious kitchen with full kitchenware. Hot water is provided at all time (don't even need to boil it yourself)

If you don’t have a car then it’s a little far from the bus station. There was only one shower for at least 10 rooms in a building and the one in our building was broken. We were staying there for two days (not in a row) and on the second one when we checked in with all the right details there was someone else in the room. We tried to call the staff from all the numbers they left but got no answer at all for at least an hour. Then a staff member came and while being very rude just took us to another room and didn’t say a thing. Later we heard from other guests who had problems with checking in too
The place itself was fine, self check in and pretty clean. Also very cheap

There is not enough light in the kitchen. The information about late arrival is nonsense. We received an email with check-in numbers after more than 2 hours which was already after the latest check-in time but it actually didn’t matter.

We had problem with checking in. We got 5 rooms and only 2rooms were able to accommodate without problems. Two rooms had problem with code on the door, that part did not work at all. Me and my husband were traveling with 11months old baby boy and in our room was sleeping somebody else already. So could not believe that. We found some Bulgarian guy who was taking care about the rooms but did not speak English very well. But he managed after certain time to get key for that 2 room without coding system and found another free room for us. The number which should be calling if we would have some problems did not work nor whatssapp or SMS. We tried to call even second day.
Great kitchen and free parking in front of the building. Nice rooms.
