Great location. We had a studio, so we had a private bathroom, which was small but adequate. It slept 4, which worked well for our family. It would have been great to have blackout curtains on the windows since the sun never set.

We had a family room with en suite bath and a kitchenette, and it was fine for our short stay in Reykjavik. It really is central too all of the attractions in the town; we walked in all directions and the property always seemed to be only a few streets away. It is also steps from Bus Stop No. 2 - Tjornin, which is a pick-up point for excursion busses. The kitchenette had cooking facilities, a small refrigerator, a water kettle, and the like. It was a pleasant place to stay.

FRANCINE

It was very well set up with a full and large kitchen / dining room for guests to prepare their own food. It was more like a hostel than a hotel. One shared bathroom per floor worked fairly well. Shame there was not a separate toilet tho. Room was neat snd well decorated bed and bedding was amazingly comfortable . Narrow stairs up to bedrooms and down to kitchen were challenging for a 70 plus body . My early checkin was accommodated at no extra charge

Centrally located, easy to walk to the centre of town. Despite this, it is remarkably quiet. Clean. Room was very clean and bright. This hostel is located in an older building - the rooms were great, the kitchen and bathrooms need some updating. The bathrooms were a little musty and toilets were coming to the end of their life. Kitchen microwave is old and slow.

Oveall good place for our family of 4 with good beds and ammenities. Sound proofing wasnt great as street noise was quite loud. When i tried to use the stovetop the power went out due to a vlown breaker, forcing me to use the shared kitchen vs the private one in our suite (after i found the breaker box and reset it), so that was inconvenient.

Older rooms and not terribly quiet between rooms but great to have access to a kitchen to make breakfast or lunch. Nice walkable location and bus stop right out front. Overall, pleased with stay.

A nice economy hotel in Old Reykjavik's city center, close to the ocean, and if you don't mind a shared bathroom (one on each floor) and the curiosity of needing to remove your shoes at the entryway. I would stay here again.

Great Location Youth Hostel Feel
Good location and good shared kitchen facilities. However, the private room was stuffy and the shared bathroom was mediocre.
