Great

We really enjoyed this hotel! It is a bit unassuming from the outside and in the hallways, but the room was lovely! Very clean, silent, and windows opened enough to keep the room cool. Would definitely return.

This Hotel was the perfect choice for me! The staff made it easy for me to store luggage while I explored for the day as I arrived very early. There was every amenity I needed including a smart TV which was a treat! It was easy to find and easy to get to all of the sights I was hoping to see. Loved my stay!

I did not like having not a single person on the property to talk to about anything. No local advice or flavor to help you navigate thru a day. Missed that. Also, a breaker popped while we were there...room went dark and I had to call the phone contact in the hope they could direct me to help. I ended up finding the breaker box and resetting the breaker. I would not stay here again. Just too impersonal and cold of a way to run a hotel.

Great value for Reykjavik

It's slightly off the centre of the city but still very walkable to ships and restaurants. It's self check in and out, but we had no problem with that. We were able to store our luggage before our check in time. The shower is very nice and the beds are comfortable. We would stay here again.

Make sure you have access to your email before you get there or press the button to get info on how to check in as the instructions are in the email and if you do not have wifi you will not know how to get in! this is a no staff hotel which is fine except the email comes just before you arrive and i did not have wifi during the time the email came but the button worked and i was able to get in.

Reasonable price for the area and with 10 minute walk of resteraunts, but beware! You can't even get through the front door until 15:00 and there is no parking. So if you get dropped off by a shuttle from the airport late afternoon, you have to hang out with your luggage until 3 pm. At that time, your entry code that is emailed to you will allow you to check in. There is NO reception staff. If you have a car, you have to find street parking 2 to 3 blocks away. Despite what the online video shows, all parking on that street is a tow away zone or a limited 3 hour paid parking at 1000 kr per hour.

This was a terrible experience from the start. Zero parking available on the street. Door code didn’t work. I was hung up on when I called. Several other guests couldn’t get in either. It was pouring rain during this time. My door code didn’t work for my room setting off a siren, another guest couldn’t get into her room. Once I finally got into the room, which should be called a closet. (Don’t believe the pictures). It took me an hour to figure how to turn off the lights, loud street noise, shower doors that didn’t seal. This is an awful experience, the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Over a 5 night stay, our room (flanked by a large and active construction site) was never cleaned. With myself and two children, we were never offered fresh towels, coffee was never replenished, and were never relieved of the mounting food waste accumulating in our room. The on-site restaurant claimed no affiliation with the hotel and refused to even lend me a bowl for my child’s cereal. The only time we interacted with actual hotel staff (since check-in is virtual) was when we heard a knock at our door thirty minutes prior to check-out and an attendant proceeded to enter our room without invitation. I would strongly dissuade other travelers from staying at this property. Iceland is incredibly…this hotel is not.
