Our take

Travellers who want a night in a refurbished bus, with mountain and sea views through large windows, will find Esjan memorable. Each room has a seating area and kitchenette, and private parking is free. Bathrooms are shared in a separate building, so it suits the adventurous rather than anyone wanting en suite comfort. I would book it as a quirky base 21 km from Reykjavík.

  • ✓Plan your meals to make the most of the in-room kitchenette for convenience.
  • ✓Take advantage of the coastal location for hiking or horse riding in the area.
  • ✓Be prepared for shared bathroom facilities, located in a separate service building.

Why guests love it

Esjan is unusual: guest rooms in refurbished buses in Kjalarnes, 21 km from Reykjavík. Each has a seating area and a kitchenette, and large windows frame the mountains and the sea. Bathrooms are shared and sit in a separate service building, which matters on a cold night. Parking is free and private. The novelty is the draw; guests wanting an en suite should look elsewhere.
