Castle Inn - Keflavík

Lora N.

I rarely spend time to give a negative review but this was so bad that I want to spend my fellow travellers the discomfort we felt. The place was clean inside. I can give it that. The instructions how to get in were clear and communication prior to the stay was there. However this is a very tired looking property and not like the pictures at all. It also is very very small inside - 40 sq m for a two bedroom apartment, really gives you the feeling of overcrowded hostel and we were just 4 people. We did not believe our eyes how run down and terrible the building looked from the outside. We thought we were in the wrong place. Especially since the owner audaciously calls it a "Castle inn","Dilapidated" Inn is more suited. It's a attached to a dingy looking Thai take away. The check in info informed us that we are most welcome to use the lovely communal garden. Lovely? A garden? See the photos and you will see what I mean. In the booking website description you could read that there is a sea view terrace. There is no sea view terrace - there is a small uninviting landing on top of the stairs. The lock box lid collapsed on my toe at check in. It smelled very weirdly inside despite that it appeared clean. The kitchen window was so smeared with bird poo and dust that you could not see anything. The host told us (only a day before we came) that there is a construction next door and apologised not providing any details about it. There is a scaffolding attached to the master bedroom and the workers will literally be working inches from you. If we knew we would not have stayed but that's exactly what they aimed. I communicated all that, no response came. The price for one night was 470 EUR in high season, not worth the money at all. Inside seemed to be that barely anything worked - small and bigger problems everywhere you look. Just an example - for a place claiming that they can host 6 (maybe even7?), they had garbage cans the size you would put in a toilette. Lights not working, cabinets not being able to open, just badly managed and maintained with no love or care for the customers

Kamers te licht, foto’s komen niet overeen met werkelijkheid. Zo is er op sommige foto’s een keuken te zien maar die is van het appartement er boven. Slechte tuin. Ramen niet schoon. Tuin niet goed bereikbaar. Ook veel herrie extern. Niet weer.

We booked higher apartment. Smartlock had some issues, but after few tries, it let us in. The place was clear and warm. Nothing to complain.

Lovely apartment for 4-5 people.
The apartment got everything you need. Glad that we pick this apartment.
