Room was extremely small, and nothing but two single beds. Bathroom was also way too small.

Cons:

I was very surprised at the size of the room and its location. However, I was not quite aware of the costs in Iceland. It is very expensive place to visit.

Very good for 2** hotel.
Pros:

For a two star hotel one could not ask more. Very good. Expect small rooms and only a simple non-flexible shower. Bring a sponge with you. Very clean. Good breakfast. Has a bar and similar amenities on entrance floor. Not much noise. Location very good because bus to center nearby

Pros:

Convenient location

Cons:

No windows and no ventilation in the rooms. A bit claustrophobic. There are windows but they open to the hallway inside the building.

Tiny rooms, super basic
Pros:

Our tour bus operator put us into this hotel, and we will give them feedback accordingly. It’s a youth hostel with separate rooms, not more. It's clean though. I have stayed in budget hotels in the past, but never places with so tiny rooms, hardly any space to walk, a shower where you can barely bend or turn. Compared with other reviewers we were lucky that we did not have noisy teenagers checking in in the middle of the night, and we actually had a room with a real window and sea view. The breakfast was ok food wise but mayhem, with lots of people trying to eat at 7 in the morning. I would maybe stay here if I was 20 and on a tight budget but I have passed that age.
