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 apartment, 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 apartment 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 apartments 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.
