The Swan House by Heimaleiga

Highly recommended accommodation. It is in an excellent location, just two minutes from the city center, two minutes from the seaside, and 15 minutes from the main bus station. The departure points for excursions are also nearby. The apartment is very clean and exceptionally well equipped. The bed is extremely comfortable. I highly recommend it!

Lift meant no need the climb stairs, the lift was very capacious and you could easily take bikes into your room using the lift. Cycling is very popular in Reykjavík with many cycle lanes. There are 2 alternative faster exits using stairs and one side entrance using stairs all doors securely locked using own private PIN number. Room had a mini kitchen equipped with everything except oven and dishwasher. The hob had an extractor fan and light. The room was pleasantly warm and the heating could be adjusted by a nob on the radiator under the window. The property is well located for the old port and town Centre and is within walking distance of both. It is also close to various bus stops, including the flybus to the main airport port . The landlord somehow provided a 24 hour online help Service which was very useful in finding out further information. We really liked the capacious fridge which enabled us to do a lot of shopping in one go. The owner recommended a supermarket called Bonus which is only a short walk away and you can buy all your groceries at a reasonable price. The high price of eating out in Iceland meant that we were able to save a lot of money by making our own food. The luggage storage space was more than ample while we were waiting to check in. On the last night we went out for a 3 course meal and found that although it was expensive, the food was cooked to an extremely high standard and was well worth the £60 per head! The landlord kept us informed at every stage. At the end of your stay a message is sent requesting you to checkout. They advise correctly that it is important not to click the “checkout “ button until you have checked out as I think this cuts your Wi-Fi off!

The kitchen only had one sharp knife. There were only two knives altogether however this was sufficient for making salads and cooking dishes. The bathroom sink could not be fitted with a plug though I think this could be standard in Iceland. As is often the case there was only one stand for resting a suitcase. We however, were able to use the three spare stools for resting a suitcase. The hooks for hanging coats strangely allowed coats to slip off.! Having to wait till 3 pm before we could occupy our room was a nuisance because we arrived early in the morning. Partly because nothing much opens in Iceland before 11 am I would advise anybody arriving early in the morning to book an extra night the for the night before you arrive.

One of my best Europe stay. Facilities at par, location cleanliness was just excellent.

Everything was good

La comoditat i el espai prou gran.

La impossibilitat de parlar amb un responsable.
