The outside of the building looks terrible. Abandonbed. I thought my husband was joking when he said that was it. But the inside was completely redone and surprisingly modern and clean. Communication was terrible, but thank goodness the couple who cleans was there and they were a huge help, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get our access code.

North Star Was a Pleasant Stay

North Star Apartments in Rif was a pleasant stay. Nothing exceptional. But it was good. The apartment was adequate for a family of five (my 4 year old slept with Mom in bed). We were able to get extra sheets, pillows, and bedding from a couple that stayed on the floor with us. I think they were the custodial/janitorial staff. No one else was in the property which was eerie for us. But it turned out OK. The exterior of the property looks run down and old but the inside of the place is as fine as any other hotel or apartment. No food here. But there are nearby towns and restaurants. We didn't get the email/message notification for our stay and the key entry. We checked our junk mail/spam folder as well but nothing. So we had to call the main office and get that. Luckily, someone picked up and answered to get us that info. Other than that, North Star was a pleasant stay.

Zusammengefasst: Von außen Pfui von innen Hui. Voll ausgestattet Küche, ordentliches Badezimmer, Fußbodenheizung, sehr sauber, sah von innen noch ziemlich neu aus. Hotel ohne Rezeption, es wird lediglich ein Code für die Türe benötigt, den man rechtzeitig per Mail zugesandt bekommt. Negativ: abgelegen im Industriegebiet Wirkt von außen nicht so schön, überrascht dafür aber von innen.

This place was clean and had a comfortable bed. The TV had less than 5 channels, of which some did not work all the time. But there are plenty of beautiful sights to see in the area!

The place I stayed Apartment 7 was really comfortable.it has its own stove bathroom, spacious room and a ref.When we went in we just found out there were 2 big flies and I dont know where it came from.From the outside the building looks run down but inside it was clean and well maintained.There is no reception there and you only get an email for the code to get in into the room so be aware.I read one review that she didnt know about it and the email went to her spam.

Very nice inside. Two rooms are large. Close to the national parks: very short drive to see the craters and to join the lava cave tour.

When we first arrived to the property, we weren't sure if it was for real. The outside looked like it was an abandoned property, as there is a spot where what used to be a supermarket now lies dormant. There were rust stains on the walls, and not a soul in sight. However, when we opened the room we were very surprised to see its condition. It looked like a 4-star hotel room as everything is clean and modern. There's one TV channel for cable but it was a nice, quiet place to spend the night. Check-in was a breeze, and there were no issues at all with the amenities provided.

Lo justo para salir del paso

Una habitación básicamente correcta, en un edificio de aspecto ruinoso y depresivo. Rif, el pueblo, es básicamente nada, un pequeñísimo número de casas, almacenes pesqueros y barcos en el puerto. Nadie en la calle en ningún momento, ninguna tienda, servicio o similar, hasta varios kilómetros, en otros pueblos. Al llegar, el navegador te lleva a una localización que te parece improbable: un edificio de almacenes o industria, de aspecto destartalado y deteriorado. Ni un alma. Siguiendo las instrucciones, se accede, en el interior, al apartamento. Éste en sí mismo es, básicamente, adecuado: tamaño suficiente, instalaciones correctas aunque algo anticuadas. Baño muy pequeño, difícil acceso a los toalleros, tras la puerta. Limpieza justa (suciedad bajo las camas). Las vistas, eso sí, inmejorables. Desde la ventana se ve el Snaefells. Adecuadas cortinas y wifi. El televisor no permite recibir más que un canal, el resto no funcionan. Cocina, pero no frigorífico (y aquí casi todos los productos necesitan refrigeración por no contener conservantes).

Surprise!

We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel. When we pulled up, it appeared as the hotel was abandoned. It looked pretty run down on the outside. When we finally got into our room, we were pleasantly surprised of the nice and clean room with the kitchenette. We only stayed for one night, but we enjoyed our stay there. There is nothing in the area for restaurants, stores, etc.
