So so glad I decided to pick this hostel for my trip. Despite having booked the cheapest rooms from one of the cheapest hostels, the room was private, clean, quiet, and even had its own bathroom. The location was incredible and the owners were responsive and accommodating. Absolutely the best bang for your buck.

Really convenient spot in a great part of the city. It was nice to leave our luggage in a locked room and explore the city while our room was getting ready and letting us know our room was ready early was awesome. Everything was great about the guesthouse we really loved it for the most part. Except the pillows really suck (though the bed was super comfortable) and if you're 6ft or taller the shower was awful. I could barely fit in it and it made it difficult to clean myself. Other than that it was a great spot.

Great location ! Only 1 negative is this. Being that there is only 1 window that opens I believe it would be helpful if a fan was provided to help with the circulation. When I was there it was 82°. It was a little difficult sleeping without air movement.

Very small room, but we had everything we need for our stay, very clean, convenient location close to the beautiful church where all the tours take their start, walkable to the center of the city and bus station. We are very thankful that we could leave our luggage before the check-in and after check-out in the hotel.

Was inexpensive, downtown, and comfortable. Only complaint was that the windows need to be open and there can be loud sounds outside, but there’s not much the property owners can do about that.

We really enjoyed staying at Day Dream L23! It was located in the heart of Reykjavík on a residential street, which made our experience of the city more authentic. The room was cozy and warm and had everything we needed. The kitchen was super useful, as we made some of our meals at home. The hotel was a short walk to shopping, dining, the harbour and public transit. Overall amazing experience. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Really good location, right in the center. It’s tiny but also cheap, so that is fine. The only thing we disliked was that we didn’t know the emergency exit was going through our room and that meant we had emergency lights on 24/7 and they were extremely bright which made it hard to sleep. We would have brought sleep masks if we had known! The bathroom was a little messily renovated, but clean.

This property was amazing. Had guestroom with private bathroom. Check in and check out was flawless. I would add additional information about the electronic key box next to stairs. It was alittle confusing versus the email stated there was a key box outside door to room. Likewise, I would also add instructions on how to get out of the building as thr normal door handle doesnt get you out and you have to use the deadbolt know.

No Heat

the room is small and the sink area had a leak so it would fall on our food and had to find in the small space a diff spot to prepare food. The room had no heat and how can you not realize there is no heat when the country is so cold and this would be the first thing you check. The bathroom is not made for a normal human to be able to fit in. It was very uncomfortable to get in even for my relative that is barely 5ft. The owner never got back to me when I placed my concern.

The good things: Central location in the heart of Reykjavik. The bad things (lots!) Awful smell / stench in the entire building (a plumbing issue?). Much smaller than the pictures disclose. Kitchenette / small kitchen is a fridge, a microwave, a sink, a kettle, and a single electric heater/burner. The latter is useless because there were no pots or pans to cook with (some shown on the pictures though). Property management is totally unresponsive. I contacted them by email (their preferred and only method of communication per welcome message) about the missing pots and pans but never heard back. Also, most of the plates and bowls were dirty and one bedside lamp was broken and could not be adjusted.

Host is accommodative. We arrived early morning but host was kind enough to let us check in. Room was good and clean.. close to dining, tour pick up locations and shopping. Local restaurant called Loki (highly recommended) is just in front of the apartment. Only thing was shower water was not controlled sometimes get too hot and sometimes too cold. May be it is a common issue in this area.

Great Location, Average Room

I would consider this more of a hostel than a hotel. The common areas (entry, halls, stairwells) looked very sketchy - as soon as I walked into the building, I considered cancelling my booking. However, the room was okay. It had what I needed, was clean enough. The water smells kind of like sulphur. The location is great for walking around Reykjavik and driving out of the city. Free parking a short walk away. If they cleaned up the entrance and slapped on a coat of paint, it might even warrant another half star.
