    Small rooms. For the price, I expected a bit more comfort. Noisy street in front of the building.

    Great location right in the center. Nearby free parking. Automated check in anytime. Fully equipped kitchen. It was fairly clean.

    Parking, or lack thereof Need a clear statement that this is guesthouse 101 hotel, a different place than guesthouse 101 a few streets away We arrived at the incorrect location to drop off our bags, no email had been received that morning as promised. No one at wrong address answered the bell, another resident let us inside, so we left our bags and went out for the day. Imagine our surprise when we returned, got into email and had received a description and photo of a very different place. All worked out in the end, but other travelers told us they have had similar experiences.

    Hostel without parking, so we had to pay a lot to park the car on the street.

    Nice room in the city center. Quite clean. Common area with almost everything what we needed to prepare meals.

    I would not recommend for longer stays, or if you plan to spend more time in the hotel than just to sleep. My room was on the side of the street so the traffic, especially the buses stopping throughout the night, was noisy. Not soundproof (at least the windows or the door to the corridor) - earplugs necessary. No air conditioning - got quite stuffy in the room.

    Convenient location close to the Bus Stop#9. Several restaurants and grocery stores (Bonus is the cheapest) nearby. Good for short stays. The room was what I expected with this price in Reykjavik: had the basics one needs, small, ok bed and pillow, small desk and a chair, good WIFI and enough electronic outlets, sink in the room, shared kitchen, toilets and bathrooms, somewhat noisy. Earplugs needed! The shared kitchen had the basics (fridge, microwave, kettle, dishes etc.). No queues to the shared toilets or bathrooms - but did not spend much time at the hotel. Easy check-in and check-out (keycode). Handy keycode once you figure out how it works (touch the black screen and the numbers light up, slowly enter the digits). Opportunity to get breakfast from the Chinese restaurant below (did not try it).

    While there is parking in the streets, you cannot pull up to drop your bags. Rooms are tiny. Bit of a hostel vibe - but a hotel price tag.

    Great location, not as pricey as other options - though all is overpriced in Iceland in the summer

    Street was very noisy, but it is the price for location.

    Good value for the price. We needed a room for three adults and found one at 101 Hostel for a great rate by Reykjavik standards. The room was clean, and while the bed was a bit soft, it was perfectly fine for a one-night stay. The location is excellent, with plenty of showers and toilets on the floor. The shared kitchen wasn’t as well-equipped as in some other Reykjavik hostels we’ve stayed at, but it had everything necessary to prepare a simple dinner.

    The lighthning in room 411 could be better lets say , maybe a brighter lightning with some cool light bulbs that give better light

    I enjoyed everything. I am not a picky person by nature. Staff super helpfull , breakfast was nice and the place was ok.

    There was an old smell in the room, which did not leave even after airing the room. It did not prevent us from sleeping well, however, we could feel it every time we entered the room. The mattresses were a bit too soft and bumpy. We didn't have breakfast at this Guesthouse, but we looked at it and it seemed a bit basic and costed 2,500 ISK (18 EUR). Just across the road, at Center Hotels Laugavegur the breakfast was rich and tasty, we had it there, and it was just a bit more expensive at 3,000 ISK (21 EUR). Yes, everything is super expensive in Iceland. 😂

    Clean guesthouse, with shared kitchen, shared bathroom and shared showers, everything clean. Location was great, it is right next to Laugavegur shopping street, 9 min walking to Hallgrímskirkja church and 20 min walking to BSÍ Bus Terminal (where you can take buses to the airport).

    Access to the hotel by car is difficult, as there is no parking for unloading luggage in front of / close to the hotel. The parking situation around the hotel is chaotic. There are several parking zones, which have different rules for parking. P3 zone is the most convenient, as the end time for paying is 6 P.M.

    The hotel is located close to the city centre, which allows to discover Reykjavik by foot.
