    Unreliable wifi in the room. Very hot room even with the radiator off. The window didn't close properly so the noise from the street came in. I had to unclog the shower drain from hair. Very noisy fans in the bathrooms.

    The fully equipped kitchen and coffee machine are great. It’s easy walking distance to town. Street parking - limited spots out front of hotel. The single bed rooms are small but functional. Rooms are dark with insufficient lighting. Some issues depend on the room. 2nd floor stay - a curtain that didn’t cover the window (30cm gap). Shower vent you cannot turn off, and is a bit noisy (all rooms). Level 1 stay (Room 111) is much noisier. This room is next to the maintenance room where the venting system must be housed (or near) The relentless noise is incredibly irritating all the time. The shower vent was also much stronger. 3 hours trying to heat the room before realising the vent was sucking the room heat out. The towel heating rack had the knob removed to stop use. Art adorns the walls. Most is interesting and in good taste, but level 1 shows very poor judgement. Graphic art is okay in an art gallery where you expect it and have the choice to avoid it (e.g., full frontal nudity, graphic sexual acts). It’s inappropriate for a hotel because it’s very likely to make at least some guests uncomfortable, and then they cannot avoid repeated exposure if that’s where their room is.

    Lack of WiFi in the rooms, window could hardly open and it was quite a dark room. Overall, apart from that the stay was fine.

    A couple of things could be improved: - The curtains were too short, which was a real issue since our window faced the street with buildings directly across. Not ideal for privacy. - The room was way too hot, even with the heating turned off, which made it a bit uncomfortable at night.

    We spent two nights here and had a really good experience overall. We had a small issue when we arrived—a bad smell in the bathroom—but as soon as we reported it via Booking, the staff reacted immediately and moved us to a larger, more comfortable room. Super quick and professional service! The breakfast was solid, the service was top-notch, and we left very happy with our stay. Would definitely recommend!

    The self service aspect of check in was fine, but the lack of reception and lack of a radiator knob to turn down said radiator left us with a room temp of around 27 degrees and nobody to ask to help us. Not an ideal environment conducive to good sleep. Also the free coffee machine in the second floor needed it’s coffee refilling and wasnt working for the duration of our stay. It was dispensing v nice hot chocolate though. But when your up at 4 am for an early flight. It’s coffee you want, not chocolate. Lastly and back to the comfort of the room. We ordered a king size bed. Which we got… except it wasnt! It was 2 singles pushed together with a hard ridge between them. This made it very uncomfortable to actually share the bed space even if it was just for a cuddle.

    The location is fine, it’s a short 10 min walk from the city centre. The breakfast was great. The self service check in worked fine. The staff we saw at breakfast time were kind and helpful.

    The room smelled funny which is probably why they had the window open when I checked it but the room was freezing when I got in! Coffee machine never seemed to work. Would be nice if they had water available. Wifi doesn’t work in the rooms

    The room door was not so smooth that it made a loud noise when closed carelessly.

    This was my first experience of staying in an accommodation without meeting a hotel staff even once during my stay. I enjoyed the free parking.

    I don’t feel as though this hotel is worth the high price that we paid. The room was okay but small, the bathroom floor was dirty when we arrived and the radiator had a leak mark stained into the floor. The beds were okay and we slept alright. It definitely felt more like a glorified hostel than a hotel. The other room doors were very loud when opened and closed, it woke us up a few times each night thinking someone has got into our room. The breakfast wasn’t anything special just cold food, there was no hot food anytime we arrived, and there were not enough tables to facilitate the people wanting breakfast. We had to either squeeze onto someone else’s table or take food out the room to sit down. We ended up just going out for a breakfast in the end.

    It was a 15/20 min walk from the main highstreet in Reykjavik and there was free parking out the front of the hotel. We enjoyed the no contact check-in and out.

    Icy in winter for the walk so if you ca t walk this isn't the hotel for you. Self check in was great for us, but less confident travellers may struggle

    Really warm, excellent breakfast, easy check in, 15-20 minute walk to centre.

    For couples, the bed is not very comfortable, as it consists of two beds pushed together. The noise insulation in the room is very poor; you can hear the neighbors sneezing. The room is very small and basic.

    Warm shower, good and tasty breakfast with a lot of options
