The New Post Office

Comfortable and relatively spacious for 2 travelers to the Westmann Islands. New facility and well maintained. Check in team was friendly and welcoming. Listen to their directions on where to park to access the building. Good value at the height of the season. Within short waking distance to shops and restaurants.

Having a free parking lot so centrally located was the only positive thing about the accommodation. The interior designer must have had a very bad day. The furnishings are all black, the walls and even the ceiling are painted a muddy color. Everything seemed somehow gloomy, empty and impersonal. There are no pictures on the walls, just rules of conduct. You don't feel welcome. At one a.m. the night before we left, I received a message that we had to separate the garbage and a description of the location of the garbage cans. This had never been mentioned before and there was only one garbage can under the sink in the kitchen. How are you supposed to separate the garbage?

It’s a large room, for it to be on such a tiny island. The room has all the facilities you’d want including oven and fridge. There is no microwave included. Parking is free. This is basically an extension of the main Vestmannaeyjar hotel. Breakfast was included but expensive, we just got our bread and essentials from the close by Kronan. It is centrally located in the main town - walking distance to many trails and restaurants. We enjoyed a relatively cheap, but delicious meal at Ranya restaurant which was awesome Kurdish food. A few things - one of the three rooms we booked had a broken shower faucet and broken blinds. It wasn’t a huge issue for us, as we had 2 other fully functional washrooms. All standard rooms come with one queen bed, but the 2nd bed is a sofa-bed. This was creaky, and quite uncomfortable. Thankfully we were tired beyond belief, and slept like logs. Check out was at 11, but we requested a slightly later checkout at 12 which the hotel happily obliged. Finally, like all hotels in Iceland - this has no AC, and with the heat cranked up it gets hot in the night. So keep windows open, and dress lightly in the night as a recommendation from us!

Great stay in the Islands We had a wonderful experience. We really liked the apartment. Is was just what we needed and were expecting for our trip.

Cute place Clean and an easy in and out place to stay. Bedroom was small but otherwise I recommend this place

Clean, okay for quick, simple stays. Clean place, the lounge with coffee facilities were nice. Bit of a ghost town as we didn’t see anyone else in the accomodation. We didn’t have our pre stay communication replied to. Communication wasn’t easy if you need anything special. You have to go to the nearby hotel to pick up the keys to this place as there’s no one on site and they have some kind of relationship. Light in the rooms if you need darkness to sleep. The third bed on the rollout wasn’t made, just the sheets left by the couch. Felt like a missed chance at being a bit more considerate and comfortable. Good kitchen in the room to cool for yourself.
