This was the lowest-rated, but fairly highly - priced, of all the places we stayed in Iceland, and given some of the poor reviews, we were doubtful about what to expect. However our apar**ent, looking out over the harbour, was huge. It was a family room with 3 beds (even though we’d only requested a twin) and had masses of space. The furnishings all seemed quite new (though rather 1970’s style) with lots of storage space. The kitchenette was also bigger than expected (and included a microwave plus tea/coffee which wasn’t mentioned) but the lighting needed improving. Nor were we expecting the apar**ent to be serviced daily with new towels, etc. The bathroom was disappointing - very spacious but with a tiny basin, no towel rail, and generally very utilitarian decor. The website mentions ‘soundproofing’ - well, it doesn’t work! Talking in adjacent apar**ents was very clear, and cooking/washing up clattering was dreadful. However by 10pm all was quiet and remained so until 7:30am. WiFi was great and there was the added bonus of having UK TV channels. Access wasn’t an issue as other reviews suggest. We requested details via *********** a few days in advance and were told there’d be a free phone in the foyer to use to receive the door code. This worked perfectly. The town store has good supplies, with quite a few UK brands, but if you need cheaper food, shop before arriving in Olafsvik. The town is a great location for touring the peninsula but there’s not much here, other than a couple of restaurants. There are some great hikes around the waterfall and surrounding hills.
