I was initially worried (after reading other reviews), and the place looked empty when we arrived, but I was surprised at how good this place is. Yes, it does have self check in, but many places in Iceland do this. The room was very clean. The shower was the best one I’ve had this week, and we’ve stayed at different places each night. The continental breakfast was amazing! It had much more variety than at an American hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My only problem was getting the check in code, but I blame Expedia for not forwarding it to me ( same thing happened at another stay).
