Ljosavatn Vacation Packages

On our second stay, we got a better room - roomier with two sets of windows, roomier bathroom with a decent shower enclosure, no drainage issues. However, I cannot give 5 on 5 because getting your bags from the garage to the elevator is a misery - no less than 3 doors, no less than 2-3 turns, and ramps and impediments. Trash and recycling bins are parked right outside the elevator. Then cleaning staff park their trolleys right outside the elevator. This makes rolling your suitcases into the elevator with a 90 degree turn cumbersome. Cleaning staff is also not gracious. They use up available space in the elevator and do not accommodate you in the lift - they go ahead and press the door close button. This was a bit shocking.

We found this stay just adequate. Reykjavik is an expensive city for travelers and we saved a bit by staying here. The location was fair but farther from a bus stop, shops, or restaurants than we would like. The market on Skipholt street opens at 10. Early arrival was difficult, with no good place to rest. Luggage storage was self-service. The lobby area felt unfinished and without comfortable seating. Rooms were a bit cramped and lacking in basics like bedside tables. Euro electrical outlets and no USB (A store across the street sold adapters for those that forget). Bathrooms were awkwardly designed. Beds were fairly comfortable, though. There is no regular staff on site with messages only. Sometimes we found responses to be unhelpful. Finding breakfast was challenging - plan ahead. This property works best for those that are on a budget, like to self manage, like to be away from busyness and like to walk quite a bit.

Best location and best service

updated apartment hotel. no parking onsite though.

Bad comunication. The room had nothing to stop the sun

The main reason I booked this property is because it was listed as having parking onsite. This property does not have parking. Parking is on the street and you have to park 3-4 blocks away. Was not refunded for the parking I had to pay for.
