“In my opinion, this property's central location puts guests in the heart of Reykjavik's restaurant, bar, and shop scene. While the streamlined service might require some patience, the budget-friendly rates, clean facilities, and well-equipped kitchen make it a worthwhile choice for those prioritizing value and location. Just remember to close doors quietly - a small consideration for a great space.”

Central Stay with Great Amenities

ideal locationconvenient check-incomplimentary beveragesbag storage
The location was ideal, a short walk to many attractions. I found the self check-in process very convenient upon arrival. The shared coffee machine provided complimentary beverages and I enjoyed it. Bag storage was available after checkout, quite helpful.
The sink made loud noises anytime anyone used it which was slightly disruptive.
Dining
9/10
There was a coffee machine that provides several coffee options including cappuccino and hot chocolate. It operated free of charge. Several tables gave guests space to sit and enjoy a drink, or perhaps plan the day.
Facilities
