Lovely clean little room in a good location and at a good price. We opted for a room with a separate bathroom and used the shard kitchen a little for drinks. About a 20 min walk into town but it does not feel that long.

Very pleasant and quiet

Hotel was great, had a small kitchen (no oven). Room was clean and shower was great. My only issue is that I didn't have much communication with the hotel staff. They sent me a message which I did not receive on the hotels.com website or my email so I was lucky to check in when the owner was there. They weren't clear with me about the checkout time.

Liked: Cleanliness
This was a great place to stay value for moneywise, but if you're expecting it to be a hotel you will be disappointed! There are only 4 rooms, and it's a converted office with no staff onsite. The keypad access to the building was very quick and easy though, and there is bag storage if you need it (you just need to email them for instructions). It was clean, but basic. There is no housekeeping though, and nowhere to hang towels to dry, so after a 5 night stay it was beginning to smell a bit musty! For a couple of nights stay I think it would be fine, and really it's very good value for so central a position in Reykjavik. Any queries were also answered quickly.

Posizione comoda per le maggiori attrazioni di reykjavik, check-in semplice, stanza pulita. unica pecca il letto matrimoniale erano due letti singoli separati e dormendo si tende a cadere nel buco in mezzo.

Alojamiento perfecto en Reikiavik

Alojamiento muy céntrico con cocina compartida que viene muy bien para desayunar o si quieres comer, hay habitaciones con baño privado y otras compartido, la del baño privado muy bien. Te mandan un mensaje con las instrucciones para entrar ya que no hay recepción.

Non c’è mai nessuno alla struttura, non c’è nessun modo di contattare i gestori nè col telefono nè tramite e-mail. La stanza sarebbe carina, peccato che le lenzuola non fossero state cambiate, ma solo il letto rifatto sporco. Gli asciugamani erano sporchi come anche il pavimento. Peccato perché la struttura avrebbe potenziale.

Rek Inn was in a very good location close to downtown Reykjavik. Despite being unstaffed, check-in and pre-arrival instructions were very clear. The room was clean and spacious with a modern bathroom. There was access to a communal kitchen and seating area which had all the necessary amenities to cook basic meals. On-street parking was always available close to the hotel and the area was quiet and safe. We had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend it.

Great, no complains whatsoever!

Great, clean room, cozy bed, spacious, with nice bathroom, in the city centre. Parked on the street around the corner for free. Kitchen with fridge, one ring cooker, dishes and utensils and a nice area for eating/sitting. No staff on site, you are given access code remotely and then you find keys inside. But works ok. It was ok to check in before 2pm which we appreciated!

Localisation idéale pres d un supermarché et proche du centre de Reykjavik. Chambre simple mais confortable. Les moins: pas de flexible et peu de pression pour la douche, éclairage de la chambre par des neons d entreprise, il manquait à chaque fois une petite serviette...

Bon rapport qualité prix

Bon rapport qualité prix et situé correctement par rapport au centre ville ou au bord de mer (15mn à pied à tout casser). Un supermarché juste à côté en prime. Équipements corrects. Rue peu roulante donc peu bruyante. Seule la chambre du corridor d'entrée est peu être moins agréable. Rien à redire en tout cas pr nous. Message d'accueil très clair, avec codes et instructions. Check in et out sans personnel. Bref vu les prix pratiqués à Reykjavik je suis très satisfait de mon choix. Je précise que nous étions véhiculé (parking facile en février mais payant sur certains côtés de rue, attention).

省錢的好選擇！

地點很棒，位在市區，旁邊又是小豬超市很方便～廚房設備、調味料也都很齊全，還附咖啡。門禁是輸入密碼，沒有看過服務人員，但都沒甚麼問題。唯一小缺點是棉被有點小味道。但CP值很高～推薦！
