Nice quite place, was a little unsure if the room was for us at first as it looked like someone had just stayed before us with trash and towels. It was a great place to stay for the night and would stay again.

An inn by the sea
An inn located by the sea, you can check in by yourself with a password sent to you. The guest rooms are on the second floor, and the restaurant is on the ground floor, so it is very convenient for food and accommodation.

Very comfortable rooms/beds, good shower. Clean and well maintained. Olafsvik is a very quaint fishing village that was very convenient for traveling around Snaefellsnes Peninsula.

Good amount of space in the apartment. Very clean. This was the cheapest place we could find at reasonably short notice but was pretty expensive for what we got. Very good base for exploring the Snaefelsness peninsula.

Great apartment
A very spacious and well equipped apartment in a nice location. There was plenty of room for four people and the kitchenette was excellent.
A really good space to relax and explore the local area from, would happily stay again.

Night at Welcome at Olafsvik
The place is next to the main road in Olafsvik so it was easy to find. Apartman was avail by code. Everything was nice and tidy. Microwave and fridge avail that was the most important for us. Sufficient place for our group.
Big apartment. Great restaurant down below. Had a little trouble checking in but once we were in, it was great.

Comfortable and clean
Received the key quote and room no. via email (although has been checking even before we left the hotel to continue our journey, did not see it till we arrived at the apartment). Easy access except need to climb the stairs with our luggage. The room is big and comfortable. There is also a restaurant at ground floor.
The room was very spacious and had all the conveniences of home. It was hard to find once we got into town. The signage wasn't clear, and we had to ask across the street where it was located.

Lovely spacious studio apartment, easily enough room for all 3 of us. Clean and has everything needed. It is a little dated and the only thing that lets it down is no lift to get suitcases upstairs.
Beware to other visitors that there is only one restaurant in town - but it is an excellent one!

We had a great stay and enjoyed this apartment right on the harbor. The only beget I’ve is that our Wi-Fi service went out and night and did not work in the morning before we checked out. Everything else was great.

The room is spacious. However we never received emails about the checkin instructions. The phone number provided did not work. Luckily 10 -15 minutes after emailing about our arrival, the property manager showed up. We have seen other tenants trying to figure out how to check in. The apartment has strong odor.
There is no elevator. We got the room in second floor. Room was very basic. Equipped with kitchen but no basic items like oil, salt. There was no coffee machine, dishwasher. It’s an outdated property.

Not fancy, but met our needs.
It was roomy enough. The curtains let in a lot of light, which made sleeping rough since there is so much daylight in May. No elevator. I had questions before checking in and tried to call the provided phone number, with no answer. The self check-in did work fine, though. There are few restaurants in Olafsvik, so be aware this hotel does not provide breakfast. We got yogurt and pastries at the local supermarket.
The apartment boasts a fantastic location with stunning views and overall cleanliness. The bathroom was also well-maintained. However, the only issue I encountered was the challenge of gaining access to the apartment. The digital key code was not provided in the initial email, so I had to call the provided number, which resulted in a delay before obtaining it.

Slightly stressful
Decent rooms. Only negative is that we never get the access code emails when booking through hotels.com. There is no front desk, and no onsite staff. Also, no one picks up the one phone number provided for the property.
The rooms are basic but large and comfy. The check-in procedure was crazy. It says to call a number from the front entrance but that number was constantly busy. We finally got our code through the Expedia app, but the whole process took over an hour and left me wondering if I needed to find another place to stay. Not exactly what you want to spend your time on when jet lagged.

Avoid if possible
- something in the room have myself and my wife food poisoning; either the coffee or the spoons/cups.
- the blinds don’t really cover the windows properly so during summer when the sun doesn’t set, lots of light comes in and it’s hard to sleep.
- the shower is tiny- almost unusable.
- the lady on the phone could’ve been a bit friendlier.

Like a cheap hostel
The property did not give us the digital code to enter before hand and the phone in teh lobby did not work. Only way is to have Iceland cell phone and call them a few times before they pick up.
The utensils were not clean. Shower curtains too small.
