Categories

Cleanliness
6
Mixed reports: several guests note clean rooms ('tiny but clean', 'very clean'), but others reported unclean elements (dirty glass shower, bed not clean, small/insufficient toiletries). Overall slightly below average cleanliness.
Service
7.5
Generally helpful staff cited multiple times (helpful on arrival, provided gluten-free items); a few reviews describe mediocre interactions. Service is competent and often friendly.
Location
9
Consistently praised: excellent/central location close to historic centre, water, tour pickups and nearby shops/food court; convenient for short stays and cruise/tour commencements.
Room Quality
5
Frequently criticized: rooms are very small/cramped, many interior/no-window rooms, thin walls and poor soundproofing, some windows that don’t close properly. Room comfort is the main negative.
Amenities
6.5
Mixed amenities: useful extras such as parking, lounge and attached restaurant noted, but some lacked small comforts (no kettle, tiny gel bottles, limited toiletries) and limited on-site dining options beyond the attached restaurant.
Value for Money
7.5
Divergent views: several guests call it excellent value for Reykjavik and good price-quality, while others feel it's overpriced for tiny/interior rooms. Overall slightly above target given location and pricing context.
Food and Beverage
8
Breakfast repeatedly praised (tasty, well-organized, gluten-free options available). Food offerings are a strong point for most guests.
Overall Experience
6.5
An adequate choice for short stays: great location and decent breakfast/service balance out small room size, noise and some cleanliness issues. Best suited for brief visits or as a budget option in the area.

Απαίσια δεν θα το πρότεινα σε κανέναν
Pros:

Το πρωινό ήταν καλό

Cons:

Μας έβαλαν σε ένα δωμάτιο που είχε παράθυρο το οποίο όταν το άνοιγες έβλεπες τον εσωτερικό διάδρομο του ξενοδοχείου. Επίσης το συγκεκριμένο παράθυρο ήταν λεπτό χωρίς ηχομόνωση, πράγμα που σημαίνει ότι ακούγαμε τους περαστικούς που περνούσαν από το διάδρομο για να πάνε στο ανσασέρ. Επίσης το δωμάτιο ήταν πολύ μικρό δεν υπήρχε καμία άνεση

Tiny and sufficient in a great location. Great for a quick night's sleep.
Pros:

Location was excellent. Room was tiny with no windows but perfect for a night.

Cons:

Not much soundproofing, the walls were pretty thin and we could hear our neighbor coughing. We were super tired so we luckily slept through any noise that may have normally woken us.

Pros:

Enkel men bra frukost. Nära till tourpickups och centrum. Ligger fint intill vattnet. Bra bartender :)

Cons:

Dåligt ljudisolerat i enkelrummet utan fönster, Det var korridorer på båda sidor och man kunde höra allting utanför.
