Reviews of Staðarflöt Apartments

After the shower the whole bathroom was under water. Everywhere were hairs laying around

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.

It was clean and peaceful.

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 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.

The landscape of the local and the amenities into the room.

The Internet is the worst I have in Iceland..

Facilities were okay. Good for one night

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).

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

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

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

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

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.

Liked having the kitchenette.

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.

Very clean and lovely

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Nobreakfast, only self catering, good parking

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

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

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

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)

Self check in/out

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