Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The fire alarms constantly go off even in the middle of the night. I stayed there 6 nights and had it go off 3 times in the middle of the night.
Clean. Located a little farther from the touristy parts of town than other hotels, but is right next to Braud&Co (bakery for breakfast) and botanical gardens. It is only a 20min walk from all the restaurants. It was also a bonus to have a kitchenette for those days when we returned by bus from Thorsmork and Landmannalaugar and were too tired and too late for restaurants.

Comfortable and convenient
We had a really enjoyable stay. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed (but a bigger French press would be great!). There were a couple of issues with the shower rail and hanging rail in the room which we mentioned to the manager. Parking was convenient. Would recommend to others.
Really spacious and modern room, with stove top and oven was very cool touch. One thing though the shower glass panel isn't sealed properly at the bottom so water leaks out into the main bathroom floor. Other than that the room was very nice. Would stay again
Room was small but very clean and includes essentially a full kitchen. Nice common area downstairs. Host is not present but very helpful by phone. The surrounding area is a bit industrial but seems safe.
Very cool hotel with rooms above a very quiet cafe lounge, the owner Yost was very accommodating in allowing me an early check-in and the room had a sleek decor and a convenient kitchenette setup. I really enjoyed my 3 night stay here and it was conveniently placed within driving distance of many major attractions, but also in a quiet area that allowed me to feel safe and free of disturbance. The view of Perlan Museum from out the window of my room was very cool. Personally the check-in and check-out process was very easy and I would recommend this hotel to anybody looking for a cool vibe while visiting Reykjavík.
Really liked the bunk bed as we were traveling with our six yr old son. The bathroom lacked a shelf in the shower, was a bit small and didn’t provide hair conditioner, which would have been nice. Otherwise it really suited our needs. Easy quick drive to downtown Reykjavík. The staff were helpful.
What a beautiful room we stayed in! It was big enough for the 3 of us including our luggages. The bed was sufficient for all 3 of us. The bathroom was clean and enjoyed the strong water pressure in the shower. Beautiful view outside! Although the check in process was difficult. We ended up calling the phone number for assistance which we realized the self check in was at the bar! Overall enjoyed our stay and highly recommend as there's plenty of parking and it was quiet at night.
My boyfriend and I spent 2 nights here and thought it was a really great hotel! The room was clean and spacious for the amount of stuff that came in the room. The use of a full kitchen really saved us a ton on eating expenses in the trip! The hotel seems to be in a more industrial part of the city and kind of far off from the city center but we had a car and rented scooters to get into the main city. The best feature in the room was probably the black out curtains! The room was very dark on the summer nights and the bed was very comfy for our stay. We would definitely stay again!

Stove top didn’t work and the windows were broken with one window glass shattered. Didn’t affect our stay and the staff were nice!
