We found this stay just adequate. Reykjavik is an expensive city for travelers and we saved a bit by staying here. The location was fair but farther from a bus stop, shops, or restaurants than we would like. The market on Skipholt street opens at 10. Early arrival was difficult, with no good place to rest. Luggage storage was self-service. The lobby area felt unfinished and without comfortable seating. Rooms were a bit cramped and lacking in basics like bedside tables. Euro electrical outlets and no USB (A store across the street sold adapters for those that forget). Bathrooms were awkwardly designed. Beds were fairly comfortable, though. There is no regular staff on site with messages only. Sometimes we found responses to be unhelpful. Finding breakfast was challenging - plan ahead. This property works best for those that are on a budget, like to self manage, like to be away from busyness and like to walk quite a bit.

This place has the potential to be great, but it felt much more like a hostel than a hotel. There is an elevator for luggage, but you are pretty much guaranteed to still have to lug bags up and down random, confusing flights of stairs. It felt like being in an Escher picture. There is no staff on site, so you are on your own to figure things out. The shower flooded our room; I had to get about seven towels to build a dam to just keep the shower water out of the main room. And even though it was 12 C degrees outside, there was only a tiny window that opened a total of 5 cm (at most) causing our room to be 30 C with no fan and no draft -- really hard to sleep when you're sweating.

Nice room

Clean room.

Check-in online is terible, their app does not work and sending personal documents photos through their sketchy website is not normal or needed. No one is there to receive you, you can only talk to some remote customer support... It took more than an hour to manage to settle everything. I then asked for an early check-in (1PM instead of 3PM). They charge me 25$ for this and asked me to send the money through some sketchy app. Then they ask me to send the proof of payment to some other e-mail, but the payment app gave me no invoice or anything. I then receive another e-mail confirmation saying that my room will be ready at 3PM. I asked and they confirmed that this was automated and it will be available at 1PM. Got there at 1PM, the entry code didn't work... Tried to call but there is no reception in this building. Had to do everything from outside and lost about another 30 minutes there. On one of the nights, the fire alarm went off while we were asleep. We had to get outside in our underwear with no one being reachable. Their phone number would not answer or directly hang up on us. I finally managed to reach them through the chat to be told they already knew. This whole thing took a good 45 minutes... The heat in the bathroom cannot be turned off. It was heating the whole room day and night and felt suffocating. Opening the window makes you hear all the construction noise.. My girlfriend was sick during this whole time, all those annoyance made us spend a terrible stay.

A great location close to everything! Very clean and free parking

While I understand that this is a self serve hotel, there should be staff available to remedy problems or fix things that are broken. Door code didn’t work when we arrived (appears they didn’t program it for the correct time), fan in our room was broken, room was stifling hot with no airflow or air conditioning and they did NOTHING to resolve the issues.

The experience with the room was so simple. Check-in was all on my phone and the entrance was with a code. Everything in the room was clean and worked. Would stay here again!

Quiet clean property. The added breakfast option was a nice treat in the mornings before tours. Property very secure.

Remote staff was very helpful. Room was very clean. Parking was available on the street and behind property.

We had to pay for our own transportation. The room was clean, very limited amenities, the staff was not at the location so we needed to call for assistance when we could not open the door with the code. The limited breakfast was hanging on a hook outside of the door in the open. We were not aware we would receive anything so were surprised to find when we returned from a day away.

Room was perfect as long as you dont expect to sleep! The noise from the ventilation was so loud! I was emailing till 4am trying to get it fixed and i was so angry and frustrated i demanded a new hotel. They didn't fix the ventilation, all they did was offer me another room.... which is also connected to the noisy ventilation system. I asked for refund for my remaining days so i could pay for a new hotel but they refused. AWFUL AWFUL experience. Avoid at all costs!

Great location, and room is not fancy, but was exactly what I needed. The breakfast - rustic, but REALLY good... croissant, bun, jam, cheese, butter, fruit and a juice. Simple and so good!

We had a room on the 0 floor, which took us a minute to find the door to without guidance but we got there eventually! Parking is also very, very limited at this hotel. It is extremely close to a grocery store though so that was very convenient for our dinner/breakfast. Overall the stay was pleasant. The room was quiet overnight and the bed was pretty comfortable. We crashed hard here after our flight in!

This place was just okay. Get what you pay for with the cheaper room. Our code didnt work when we arrived so had to call in freezing cold and got a completely different one. Floor in room itself was gross if you wanted bare feet. Shower doesnt have proper drainage methods or even a lip to catch water so you essentially flood bathroom floor every shower. Do yourself a favor and spend a little extra for a nicer room

Our sheets were FULL of body hair and there's no staff to complain about. There's no heating control in the room (IN ICELAND) so we were cold at night, the bathroom completely flood when we showered, the room lock only worked after at least 3 tries, and our room was right next to the parking lot on the ground floor so very noisy.

.

My room was right next to stairs and entrance so very noisy. Door codes were a bit temperamental especially with cold hands! The fridge in my room smelt very bad.

Everything was good, clean and the free parking was convenient.

Amazing
