So this was a fantastic property. It was centrally located to just about everything in Reykjavík. It was more than a hostel, and the private rooms were well worth the price. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip.

The best thing about this property is the location. It was right central to downtown. However, it was very dated, not clean, smelled musky, tiny room, not what we expected

The chief virtue of this hotel is its location. It's one of the least expensive places to stay in the old city, but you basically get what you pay for. The rooms are small, the bathrooms are shared, the cleaning and upkeep are minimal, and the staff are non-existent. You are basically paying for its proximity to the center of town more than anything else.

The location is excellent, and I really liked the free coffee and tea station. There is also a spacious seating area where you can charge your phone. My room was clean when I arrived, and the communal showers were also mostly clean. However, during my three-day stay, my room wasn’t cleaned at all, and I didn’t receive any fresh towels despite messaging the property to request some. I also had to contact Expedia because the hotel didn’t send me the access codes needed to enter the building/room. However, as a solo female traveller, I felt safe, and I would stay here again.

There is no staff working at any time during our stay, although the self check in process is simple it is hard to get a hold of them to correct any issues you may have with staying there. A lot of good money spent to have to use a washroom with no lights and no toilet paper and by the morning no paper towel towels. Yes very easy to go to another floor to use another washroom, but an inconvenience in the middle of the night. Have to stress nowhere in their advertisement did I notice it is shared washroom facilities but even so keep up so all guest can enjoy them

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I booked due to it being walking distance to the port- well not from the Viking port it is about 40 minutes by car. There are stairs only- and no staff to ask anything - it’s all do it yourself. We had a sink on our room that smelled and gurgles when anyone showers or flushes. A shared WC / toilet shower. No staff onsite until check out, then they pound on your door to leave. It was expensive for no amenities - in fact after hauling luggage up and down all the stairs it made my trip harder. if you are 50+ avoid, it’s NOT convenient at all.
