This property was an old articulated bus, separated into three units, fitted into a hillside with the mountain looming over us and a view of the ocean on the other side. The unit was warm, clean and had all the basics one would need. It fit four people and luggage. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was next door. We were able to cook very simple meals inside. The property was stunning with horses nearby, chickens running around and all the wildflowers. We just called the number given to let them know when we would show, they met us promptly and were very nice. I would highly recommend!

The converted city buses here offered fairly rustic and cozy accommodations. It's a unique place, with ingeniously designed bunks in some of the rooms. Chickens and horses give it a very country feel.

Unique stay at the foot of the mountains

Esjan was a lovely property to stay at! We stayed in November and I was worried it would be freezing but it was actually very warm and toasty inside the bus, the shared bathroom was a few steps away, and the bed was super comfortable. We brought food to eat in and played cards that we brought on the dining room table. Gorgeous view to wake up to. Only thing to note is that you HAVE to call the owner upon arrival - there is no check in desk, so plan for that with your phone and any international calling plans you may have, as this was a setback at first as we could not call out with our phone when we first got there. There is free wifi and you can connect to it once you arrive.

Four of us stayed at Esjan (in two different buses), and we had a lovely time. The beds were more comfortable than I expected, and it was a quiet and peaceful place to start adjusting to the time zone. (Until the rooster woke us up in the morning, but I guess that *also* helped us adjust to the time zone). The buses were surprisingly comfortable, and the VIEWS were amazing.

Unique and Comfy

Excellent stay. Fun, comfortable accommodations. Not the fault of the property, but no food or grocery accommodations close by.

Beautiful spot against the mountain. Nice people. Simple and clean.

This is one of the most unusual and coolest accomodations I have stayed ever! The bus was very clean and practical for a family of four. Only minus was that the bunkbed didnt have a rail so one of the parents had to sleep on the top bed. 

The service house was very good and close. Our girls think this was the best stay we had during our 2 week travel in Iceland. We didnt see the owner the whole time we were there but did get info as a message. 

Lots of cats, chickens and a rooster in the yard. Also a trampolin for kids, though it was too wet when we were there.

Most unique and fun night in Iceland

The bus was created by the owner. It has an excellent view of Mount Elja. It was so perfect and efficient. I absolutely adored it. The owner was perfect too.

This was such a fun place to stay just outside of Reykjavik. Our host was lovely and the view the of mountain was breathtaking!

We stayed in Esjan in 2017 and had a great time so we decided to stay again in 2019. Just as awesome as we remembered it. 

If you're okay with a shared bathroom and you love your travel companions then you'll have a good time here. The bus guest rooms are so lovingly decorated and the view of Mt. Esja is incredible. It's like sleeping outdoors except in a comfy bed with heat and running water!

I can't wait to go back.
