Svartsengi Vacation Packages

This is a pretty no frills property. Small rooms. We chose it because it was most affordable in area, but it was still as expensive as a 4-5 star in the U.S. Unstaffed so they send email with room code which someone in our party didnt get. No individual room temperature control and room was hot so had to sleep with windows open and all night street noise. What little food they had was way overpriced ($35 USD for soup and bread). Not enough parking for guests.

Interesting experience. Shower and kitchen available. The top window could have been cleaned sometimes for better sky visibility.

Excellent location overlooking the Harpa and harbor. Very close to center town and rainbow street. Great restaurants and shopping options nearby. The happy hour drinks were a nice perk and the rooms were small but comfortable. Shower mechanism is a bit old style but functional. FYI: directly across the street from the cruise shuttle drop off.

It was a score to find a four bedroom apartment by the harbor, right by so many great shops, restaurants and attractions with parking on the street! You of course pay for these conveniences and location in the rental price. The things we loved : • walking convenience • plenty of beds • a drop zone or “mud room” • a usable kitchen • free wifi • separate toilet from shower room • the exposed stone on the walls was beautiful The things that we didn’t care for: • the place was a SAUNA! we did not sleep because it was SO HOT. we had all of the registers off, windows open but there was no way to turn off the in-floor heating. • exposes insulation and missing wall board above the electric box • fine dust all over the floors in the restroom from the exposed stone • there is no living room or couch or armchairs. Your place to be together is in the kitchen around a table with very hard benches. Would we stay here again? NO. we got the apartment so that we would have a place to sleep. We could not sleep because of the extreme heat. ( and we stayed on a very cool day summer where it rained the entire time)

The Greenhouse met and exceeded my expectations. The place has a lively vibe, enhanced by the food court right on the premises. Late night happy hour on the weekends. Nice outdoor balcony, with couches, at the end of the hallway. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Great location for visiting the Golden Circle. The accommodations were good; the rooms small-ish like all the others in Iceland, but with everything you need. One suggestion I'd offer: could use some reading lights by the beds. In all other respects, I would unhesitatingly stay here again if visiting Iceland, and would recommend it to any of my friends who are going.

My group of 20 stayed here for 3 days prior to our cruise. Excellent location except for the uphill walk from the bus stop #3 where we got dropped off with our luggage. Bora fro reception was very helpful with our luggage. I rented 5 units for the group and all were happy with our stay. Special thanks to Bora…
