Great location. Walkable. Close to shopping, dinning and sites. The room was spacious-especially the bathroom. I contacted the property managers and received a response within 2 hours. The bakery on the first floor, Brikk was lovely. We had a room on the 3rd floor with a sloped ceiling-I'm tall and hit my head a few times-lol.

We really enjoyed Oddsson. It’s right next door to a cute coffee shop and only 7 minutes to a grocery store by foot. We liked how close it was to everything, but outside of the main areas enough to be quiet. The only downside for us was the room was quite warm. We were there in July and it was a warm summer for Reykjavík, and the room was very warm. Our room only had one small window that would open and there were no fans. Just be prepared. Still a great place to stay and a lovely room, just can be a little warm during the warm months.

Tranquille, propre, tout près de la ville et des rues animées. Stationnement gratuit en plus! Il n’y a pas de réception sur place, mais tout s’est vraiment bien déroulé. Un gros coup de cœur!

Great Room, Poor Communication

Great room. Comfortable and clean. Communication was terrible. Very difficult to reach concierge and given the wrong directions to catch our Fly Bus. We noticed immediately and they didn’t believe us. We needed a couple things re-stocked in the room and never heard back. The keypad to enter the building can be tricky and we weren’t the only people having trouble getting in.

Our room was too small for staying in Reykjavík for a week. It would be fine for an overnight stay. Our friends booked at the same time and had bigger rooms than us.

The hotel was very comfortable and we enjoyed the stay. The beds were very comfortable. We were able to walk around easily and safely. Catching a bus for our tour was also super easy. There is a great food hall down the street for a quick yummy meal. I do wish the curtains/blinds were better blackout since it is light here so much of the day. Also a safe would have been nice to have. Biggest complaint was about communication. I had emailed before our stay about early check in which was able to happen and I received emails very quickly. Once we checked in and asked a few more questions, it was radio silence! I’m still waiting for a response to 2 emails and a WhatsApp chat. You need to be more responsive if there is gin g to be no reception desk. I was not asking difficult questions…just about pillows and storing luggage.

A group of 8 of us stayed here for a week while in Iceland and each couple had their own room. Each room is different. Great location to be able to walk to everything downtown. This place is more like a tiny efficiency apartment rather than a hotel room. The beds are incredibly comfortable, kitchette was well stocked, bathroom and shower was great! It was a nice touch to have a towel warmer in the bathroom. There is a wonderful bakery right next door that we got coffee and rolls every morning, that were amazing! The only con would be that the rooms are very warm, even with windows open, so bring a fan. Housekeeping came every other day, which was perfect. We would definitely stay here again!
