The self check-in was super weird. Would not recommend this place if you are planning on arriving after 21:00. Received no reaction for my request to check in between 21-22, despite asking numerous times. Then we ensured we got there before 21:00 because we couldn’t cancel the accommodation anymore. We called the number 5 times but nobody picked up. Then we walked into the building to ask and the staff told us “he was not a manager” (in an unfriendly way) but did arrange the code for self check-in for us. We received a code for self check-in, which could have easily be sent online beforehand. Kitchenette was nice to have but very impractical (small knives, one stove pit).

Facilities were okay. Good for one night

Spacious with a little kitchen, a bathroom. The owners were very reactive, we booked in the afternoon pour the same night. Self check in

It wasn't clear where the room was. Thankfully there was someone in the main building to direct us. It is not real close to most shopping needs, so plan for that.

The location is convenient to the ring road. It seemed to have a little more room than many other places.

No common area, just small space inside the room for eating. Unsuitable for travelling with friends

Nobreakfast, only self catering, good parking

The ground creaks with every step, and you can't sleep at night with the wind whistling.

Squeaky floors. Beds were just meh—I didn’t sleep well, my mother did fine.

It was unclear where our room was and there was no staff on site (as expected), but perhaps a bit more signage to designate which building has which rooms would be useful.

Nice little kitchenette in the room, and one of the few non-shared bathrooms on our trip!

The WiFi was becoming increasingly bad with more guests arriving and it finally stopped working The tv shows only Icelandic channels

Spotless clean and very efficiently decorated rooms. The shower was perfect

Noisy large group (10-12 people) occupied several rooms on opposite end of the hallway and were celebrating a birthday. While they observed quiet hours, their early departure was a noisy (and unwelcome) wake-up call.

Clean and convenient location while passing thru the area on our Ring Road tour.

The location is really somewehere in the middle of nowhere. Next to North Star Hotel, Stadarflöt Apartments doesn't show up as Aparments but as "Stadarflöt Hotel" if you enter it into Google Maps. If you search for Stadarflöt Apartments, it will guide you to Hvammstangi town center, which is 30 km away from the place. Lots of confusion and quite a few phone calls to have the misunderstanding resolved. Even if the rooms itself are okay you have to be aware that the whole place seems like a ghost hotel, we were more or less the only guests around. There are no dining options, you have to drive around half an hour to get food or drinks. Generally speaking, it was a strange place, but in the end we had a good night's rest on our way back to Reykjavik.

Rooms were clean and equipped with everything you need. Quite a good standard if you consider the remote location.

Horrible experience, bad communication. They force guests to come before 9 p.m., even there is coded key box and entrance into the building is easy. So just simple description or SMS is needed. We tryed to contact them via telephone, e-mail and SMS around 4 p.m. the day of our 1 night stay, because we needed to come later. On the third attempt, someone answered our phone. The man apparently did not understand English well, he handed the phone to a woman who reluctantly told us that the codes for the accommodation had been sent to us by email, which was not true. We asked her to give us the codes by phone, she angrily gave them to us, but spoke so quickly that we were not able to catch them at all. Finally it seemed, we succeeded. Upon arrival at the accommodation, we managed to open one key box, but the code for the other did not work (we booked two apartments). Fortunately, my husband had a good idea and tried the keys from the opened apartment to the other closed door, which, surprisingly, we managed to unlock. We do not understand such behavior at all.

The fact the property did not have the promised kitchenette and fridge made this place a nightmare bc we were going to do make dinner. Given it is no where to any other place in terms of location to get food, we were very upset bc we had to go to bed hungry.

I booked two rooms with Kitchenette but the gave me regular rooms and the front office guy told me my rooms revere given to someone else. Tried calling the owner but no luck. Our groceries to cook dinner and breakfast were wasted bc no kitchen and we went to bed hungry.

The Internet is the worst I have in Iceland..

The wifi was shut down in the morning and the water got over before we checked out.

They expect the owner to be called on arrival when the keys are there and the staff were not forthcoming

Didn’t like having to call when we arrived to find out our room # and code to get into the room. Would be much more convenient to have it provided before arrival or have someone at reception.

Liked having the kitchenette.

We arrived on time. No one was at reception. I did not receive any message about how to pick up the key. I called the phone number provided. A lady answered and asked me which hotel I was staying at. I answered. She hung up the phone. I then called 34 times for an hour, she never answered the phone and never called me back. At the end I saw a cleaning lady in the corridor asking if she could help me. She could not call the hotel person either. In the end she gave me a key to a basic room which was not the one I had booked. I booked a fully equipped apartment and only got a basic room. Reading the comments, I can see that I was not the only one. Never, ever try to book a room at this hotel, you may have to sleep under the stars. After arriving home, I complained about the basic room and the inconvenience and asked for a refund. I did not receive any reply. I asked Booking customer service to help me. They denieded everything, according to them everything was fine.

Two nice staff I met by chance, they helped me to solve my problem, which the host could not, would not. If it wasn't for these two, I would have had to sleep outdoors with my child. It was the worst welcome I have ever met.

We stayed in Iceland for 13 days and changed accommodations every day, alternating between guest houses and hotels. This one, located near what seems to be an abandoned hotel, is by far the worst of all, starting with the check-in procedure: you receive a message specifically instructing you to call a number upon arrival, where an extremely annoyed and unpleasant person answers, though they did provide clear instructions. Upon entering the room, we found it cold. The bathroom is huge but nevertheless uncomfortable and bare. Poor quality furniture. No charging outlets near the two bedside tables. The Wi-Fi was practically nonexistent. However, it was clean. Definitely not recommended for those looking for a warm and comfortable environment. It’s okay for anyone who doesn't mind settling for less.

It was clean, the location was good for viewing the aurora. In person, it looked exactly like in the photos, though it felt much colder.

The floor of our room was squeaky which was bit annoying as soon as we were walking on it. An oven could have been helpful to cook ready to eat meals.

We liked everything about our stay. It has nice kitchenette and comfortable beds. Great location. Attached bathrooms was the added facility.

Stayed in August 2024

To make our stay even better there could have been salt and olive oil (even a really small dose) to leave in the kitchenette in case guests wanted to cook (which we did, but had to go out to buy these two basic things)

I really liked the view and to be in the middle of nowhere.

contact with the owner terrible, after calling the number, woman picked a phone and she asked which hotel. Then she said to transfer my call and she disconnected, after trying to call again she was rejecting my phone. I wrote them through the booking messages about the problem but nobody answered until now. Out of the sudden cleaners appeared and they knew my name and they gave me a key code to collect key. Also I booked a studio with a kitchen but we got a room without utilities..

To be honest, we were happy to have a place to sleep in

The number you are supposed to call for check-in was disconnected. Ran into several other guests with the same issue - couldnt check in as the number was disconnected. Took more than an hour before it was miraculously solved by a cleaner of the facilities.

Wifi did not work for me at all. Was always "connected without internet" and data in the area was fairly weak as well. Restarting phone didn't help.

Very nice facility with clean comfortable rooms. Absolutely amazing breakfast was included. Very friendly staff.
