    Parking was a little scarce and the shared bathroom wasn’t amazing.

    It was a great location in downtown Reykjavik and was a good price. It also had a nice breakfast and allowed us to check in late.

    The shared bathroom needs some cleaning (there was a bit of mold on the ceiling). Not an accommodation fault but other tourists can't behave during breakfast when there are more people around.

    The location is right next to the Hallgrímskirkja. The breakfast was fine.

    No hand soap in the bathroom and wasn't filled up at any point during the duration of our stay.

    Great location, very close to city centre, breakfast was really good, check-in was super easy and straightforward. Room was nice and cozy, even had a fridge and kettle and beds were comfortable.

    It could have been a little bit cleaner, there was some dust under the bed and the bathroom could have been cleaned more regularly. Considering the prize, it was okay though. Other guests were pretty loud in the middle of the night, you could hear every step on the stairs.

    There was a kitchen we could use for preparing our own meals and storing food in the fridge. Since we did not expect it, it was a great surprise. Plus the walk to the city center was only 5-10 minutes.

    It does need a bit of an update but It was fine without being exceptional.

    They made the after hours check in very simple and were helpful when i asked for advice on how to get to the accommodation. The breakfast is good and sets you up for the day. Room was clean, fine for a short stay.

    The room for 2 people was very tiny so you maybe have to do a little downsizing. The equipment of room/kitchen was quite poor.

    The room in the centre with solid price and the possibility of breakfast. Self-check in the evening was no problem.

    Very easy check-in, we had a 4-bed-room and a studio. The 4-bed-room was totally fine for us, the studio was really great! Super cosy and comfortable with bathroom and kitchen :) Breakfast was very fine with bread, different jams, peanut butter, chocolate spread, eggs, cheese, butter, different types of muesli and some juices. Coffee and tea as well. Unfortunately no vegan milk, that would have been perfect ;)

    The water of the bathroom it was very very smelly, I don't know if has to do something with the springs that they have in Iceland or something else.

    The location was very nice. Very close to the main church (Hallgrimskirja) and in general to the center by foot. It was 8 minutes till the BSI bus terminal and 20 minutes to the Perlan museum. Also very close (2 min) to the bus stop no 8 which helped us with the tours, it was every time the pick up point for us. A large communal kitchen to cook whatever you want in the main building. Breakfast was okay for the occasion.

    The bathrooms. With up to 8 people sharing one bathroom, it could have done with a clean more regularly.

    The location of the property was terrific, a close walk to everything and not far from Bus Stop 8 for the tours, Airport bus etc. It was a short walk <5mins walk, right near Hallsgrimskirkja Church.

    We had room 33 which is an exit room and has a super bright exit sign in it which can't be turned off. Bright enough that you think you left a light on in your room. We had to cover it with a towel to sleep. Bathroom was right next door but there was a puddle right in front of the toilet the whole stay. I assume the floor had a dip and it pools there. Breakfast room is a bit crowded but that was probably our fault for waiting until the last hour to go.

    Location was awesome, just a block from hallgrimskirkja and a few min walk from the main part of downtown. Breakfast in the morning was great. Beds were comfy.
