Solid stay in central location

door code system communal kitchen short walk airport connection
The staff provided clear instructions for after-hours check-in using the door code system. I found the communal kitchen very useful, it included a kettle, cups, microwave, refrigerator, and toaster. Access to restaurants and shopping took only a short walk. I appreciated the nearby bus stop that offered convenient airport connections in the early morning.
The hot water in the shared bathroom took a little while to heat up.

The location provides easy access to excursion buses across the street, which simplifies travel planning. A nearby road is closed to traffic, this creates a quieter environment for walking. Dining options are readily available at the food court with Icelandic horse models.
