    On 4th floor without a lift Not good for older people to be put there! Very very basic room and facilities Did not like the idea sharing bathrooms but it was actually not that bad although once I went for a shower and there was no soap or shampoo all used

    Location is fantastic Only met one member of staff and she was lovely

    Cleaning the room, or at least provide something to sweep the floor.

    Apart from the fact that you have to accept that everything is crazy expensive in Iceland, the hotel was quite ok. Nothing special. Enough restrooms and shower facilities per floor but enormously noisy.

    My stay was fine , this is a great place for people that travel light and need a central place .

    The building has no elevator and the spaces are very tight . I had to walk each of my bags separately for 4 floors . The baggage room downstairs has no lock . The common area has a coffee machine , nothing else . The single beds are very tiny which was fine but might be an issue if you're tall

    I loved the location and the quaint building . The self checking was easy , the room was clean . The common showers and bathrooms were clean in the morning and enough so it was not crowded .

    The room was very small. No place to put things. Felt like hospital. It was very loud from outside. You can hear what other peaple do in adjacent rooms. Hard to sleep for gentle sleepers.

    The location is just in the Center of Reykjavík. Beds were comfortable. It was plenty of toilets and showers. There was sink in the room. There was coffee maker downstairs and some common area where you can sit.

    No kettles in rooms but theres a machine in the lobby for tea and coffee. No lift, but common in these older buildings. No frig even in common area. No staff once cleaners are gone.

    This is a very good value for downtown Reykjavík. Even though there were shared bathrooms and showers, the other guest all seem to be flowing and nobody got in each other‘s way. The bed was actually comfortable. It was not fancy but clean.

    Clearer signage for the luggage rooms. Better coffee. Also there is a party venue downstairs.

    Location was just fantastic, wish I had stayed here the whole time I was in Reykjavik. Easy access to bus stations, main street, car hire and more.

    One of the bathrooms was pretty gross at night (fully cleaned up and nice in the morning though)

    Easy check-in, comfy beds, good wifi, the coffee/tea maker was nice to have, lots of free road parking available nearby, bathrooms were mostly very clean, perfect for a quick 1-night stay

    When we took a shower, it was very dirty. I might have been unlucky and been behind a dirty guest, but that was the only bad experience I had.

    The location was great and the rooms were nice, lots of bathrooms. Coffee in the morning was great option. Could not have asked for a better location. The room had nice spacing and were very clean.

    Rooms are not sound proof and walls are very thin. I could hear someone snoring even lol, but I was not bothered with it. During my stay all guests were courteous and seemed like everyone tried not to be noisy. And it was not crowded at all btw. I thought there is going to be a line to a common washroom/shower like in a students’ dorm but never had a problem with that. Book it if you are planning to be all day out exploring the city and u just want a decent place to sleep.

    Location is great. 1min away from Bus stop 1, all excursion pick ups can be arranged from there. U can also get hotel drop off n pickup from/to KEF by paying a lil additional charge with Flybus. BSI terminal around 20mins of nice walk away, which includes a path through park and along the water. Famous church and Rainbow street are at a short walking distance, there is a supermarket just around the corner n lots of restaurants. U can take a walk along the harbor. They send an email with clear, easy instructions how to get into the building. No human contact btw, no staff to talk or ask anything, worked just fine for me.

    Could use more maintenance as toilet door on 3rd floor was falling off its hinges and lack of toilet tissue but still worth the money.

    Quiet, clean, easy to find and good instructions for access. Room was comfortable and ideal for our needs and great price for what is otherwise an expensive city to stay mid-summer. Luggage drop off worked well too. Thank you.

    During my 4 nights stay the room was nevet cleaned , never saw any staff . My room was in the 4th floor without lift . The room isolation is very bad , noises from coridor and from outside

    Check-in was easy , liked the idea of self-check-in . The toilet was clean and always available. The location is amazing

    The stairs are quite narrow, the hotel may not be suited for people with mobility issues.

    It was clean, and there are more than enough shared toilets/showers for everyone. The price is very good for a private room in the centre of Reykjavík.

    Remote assistance was sometimes tricky, including when trying to resolve a fire alarm which was accidently set off by smoke from a group using the kitchen.

    Excellent location, very good facilities, nice for short stays, and would happily stay longer.
