Fantastic location. Clean. Very noisy- not the hotel’s fault. Loud heavy metal band playing Saturday night past midnight downstairs and heavy construction from early morning daily next door.

A great cheap option in an optimal location near the shopping and dining district, the pond, and the harbor. I stayed here before and after a group tour from the city. It has all the basics you need to just have a comfortable and peaceful night’s rest.

The location is excellent, but the property lack of enough utensils to cook. Only 1 small knife was there to cut. We had to ask for kitchen towels, toilet paper, bags for trash, cleaning supplies, etc. Did not have any species, coffee, sugar, nothing...

This hotel is listed as a self-service check in. Arrived after a long travel day with NO communication on how to enter the property. Called the phone number listed for the property owner several times with no answer. Received a text saying to communicate via text, and so I asked for the code to access the property as I was sitting outside. No answer. After several hours and several unanswered text messages and calls, I had to get a code through Expedia after an additional hour long phone call to finally enter the property 3 HOURS after my check in time. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Besides that, the room was lovely.

I was scheduled to check in on the 2nd. The property manager/owner never sent me check in instructions. Therefore, when I arrived to Reykjavik I had nowhere to go. They never sent me instructions the entire time I was there, forcing me to buy another place to stay. To top it all off, I was never refunded, and still cannot get in contact with the property to resolve this issue. Avoid this place at all cost.

The bathroom door wouldn't open and close properly due to the track not being in alignment. The bed was too small for two people. The door to the porch wasn't opening as well. No one on site to talk with about any issues, and wasn't willing to message the hosts to disturb them.

This property was in a really good location, we had a lovely room looking out at lovely Christmas decorations. We would definitely stay again, the room was a good size and comfortable bed. There is also a shared kitchen you can also store your luggage in the luggage room so you can enjoy looking around after you have checked out. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay 😊
