These are Individual apartments. No doorman or traditional hotel amenities. Apartments are very clean, modern and in a great part of town. If you’re staying for any duration of time these are great as they have a full size kitchen. Would for sure stay here again.

Great stay. Checkin instructions communicated were incorrect. Tried calling the property and no one picked up. Eventually realized that check in is required at a hotel around the corner. Room has all amenities. Laundry was not working though.

Property was clean. However there is no view at all and the room only had two tiny pillows. The bed was nice but having one tiny pillow each made it a really uncomfortable stay.

The Westman Islends are an amazing area and a must do in Iceland. The hotel exceeded our expectations and the manager was unbelievably helpful. Only 2 disadvantaged that would not stop me from returning. Although the beds are very comfortable there is barely enough space to get out of bed:) and that could be a problem for heavier people especially when using the bathroom at night. The second issue is that they do not offer complimentary coffe and sugar in the room . We had our own coffee but I needed to go to the bar to ask for a couple of cubes of sugar which they kindly gave me. I would definitely return because the suite was comfortable and easy to prepare our meals

Clean, okay for quick, simple stays.

Clean place, the lounge with coffee facilities were nice. Bit of a ghost town as we didn’t see anyone else in the accomodation. We didn’t have our pre stay communication replied to. Communication wasn’t easy if you need anything special. You have to go to the nearby hotel to pick up the keys to this place as there’s no one on site and they have some kind of relationship. Light in the rooms if you need darkness to sleep. The third bed on the rollout wasn’t made, just the sheets left by the couch. Felt like a missed chance at being a bit more considerate and comfortable. Good kitchen in the room to cool for yourself.

We had 2 emails before we arrived, one from Heimleiga CS and one from Godo Property. Each assigned us a different room and key box codes. This was very confusing. The apartment was clean and new. Not a grain of salt or coffee on the premises so you need to take all the basics or else buy locally. Good blackout curtains and quiet at night. We could not get the tv to work but otherwise all was good. It is a central location and if you want to eat out there are several options close by. Heimaey itself is a lovely spot and we enjoyed our stay. 2 nights was perfect.

Update instructions and phone number

Check in email instructions were wrong. Phone number on hotels.com and Web site were wrong so it took us a very long time to figure out how to get into our room. Found another phone number that finally worked. Had to check in at main hotel and not get a key from a lock box. It was quite a pain. Blinds were broken in room.

The front of the property is actual hidden behind an alley. There is no clear signage, making it difficult to know you've reached the right place, you walk by the dumpsters to enter. There is no staff, automated boxes with codes greet you. Having a kitchen was not worth it as there are not necessities available. Not even salt. The hotel is paper thin and you hear everyone, which is an annoyance unless you want to shout at the neighbors yourself to be quiet. Parking is also a nightmare, no clear markings and we were blocked in.
