Lovely Spot Downtown
We loved our stay. The hotel has a lot of unique character. Our room was spacious with a large bathroom, gorgeous balcony view and a kitchenette for easy cooking.

Great location
Hotel is in a great location, and easily accessible to the city and not too far from the main road. The bathroom needs some acrobat abilities due to its compact nature.

Facilities are old and not comfortable, but staff are very friendly. Cheap and very good location.
Ayaka, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is centrally located and very close to bus stop #8 which is next to one of the most visible landmarks. Its perfect for a short no frills stay. The owner is kind. When choosing a place to stay in Reykjavik either you splurge and be far away from downtown or you compromise and be centrally located. I only stayed 1night and it worked for me.

It is almost in front of the main church and very well connected with everything. Good value

Good for solo travel
This was my second stay at this hotel, and it’s exactly what I’m looking for on solo travels - a decent room and not too expensive. It’s not the most luxurious place, but I wouldn’t expect that for the price. The location is great too, as it’s very close to bus stop 8, and you can reach the city centre on foot.

Excellent no-frills budget hotel, great location
Only had about 15 hours in Reykjavik so literally checked in (super easy and friendly) and slept there. Room is budget so no frills but the bed was super comfy, the shower had pressure and was hot, and there was even a little kitchen area with microwave, fridge, sink and plates, cutlery etc. I didn't eat at the restaurant but it smelled amazing. The owner let me keep my bag there after checkout. All in all, for the crazy prices in this city and for what I needed, it was perfect.it was right near the bus stop for the airport shuttle and perfectly located for checking out the church and city.

This spot was perfect for 2 friends on the go...we didn't hang in room. Great location and price . Cramped bathroom and noisy at night. (Noise expected for central location). We had a good experience!

Simple no thrills and clean
Simple, tired room but clean. Great location in the centre of downtown and airport pick up bus stop 2 mins away. Did the job for me as I was only staying overnight to catch a flight the next morning.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the location. Was very happy I could get into my room earlier than normal check-in. They helped me make arrangements to get to the airport. However that bus never came so I was lucky a stranger helped me. No fault of the hotel.

Great stay in Reykjavik downtown
Enjoyed our stay - location is amazing and the room was spacious with lots of amenities - fridge, microwave, plates, cups, glasses and cutlery, tv, chairs and table. Wifi was great, even on second floor. The interior is not the newest, but everything was in working order and we were very comfortable. The reception is in the downstairs restaurant, which we found slightly awkward, but once we'd checked in, we mostly used the back door which was accessible outside the restaurant. The staff we met were polite and helpful. If you need a place where breakfast is included, this hotel is not for you, but there is a grocery store right next to the hotel and shops and restaurants right down the street. Great location!
