Set in Seyðisfjörður, 3.7 km from Gufufoss, Dúlluhús - Apartments by Aldan has ski-to-door access, private parking and rooms with free WiFi access. The property has mountain and lake views. The apartment features parking on-site, a fitness room and a housekeeping service. The location was lovely - very gorgeous wee town, and a spectacular drive into the valley. The area around the apartment felt very safe, and, had it not been pouring with rain, would have been lovely to walk around. The old school house was beautifully appointed, super clean, and was a really good size. We appreciated the washing machine. The reception area was in the nearby bar/restaurant which we didn't eat at, but it looked really nice.
