Probably the cheapest place in the downtown. But the room is small as a jail cell. If you just take buses and live 30 minutes away from downtown, you will find much better deals.

the place was not even open

The place was not open!! The police told us the owner was no longer there and was being investigated. We had to find alternative accommodation at our cost after a long trip from England

The property is fine. Our room had a sink, which helped avoid a lineup in the shared washrooms when it came time to brush your teeth. The rooms were basic, as were the washrooms, but they appeared clean. The guesthouse is in the downtown area so it can be loud at night and our room window faced a wall, so not the best of views, but overall it was fine.

The staff was accommodating when we arrived very early, allowing us to store our bags while we went on a tour. It is disconcerting to talk to staff through a "Ring"-like device (they are not on site all the time). For it being a large guesthouse, it was very quiet - we rarely saw other guests and WC/showers wer always available. Very good value for Iceland!

Rooms are very small, too hot, bathrooms down the hall. However, for what it is (essentially a single-room hostel), it's an excellent value, very clean, fantastic staff, right in the heart of Reykjavik. Just turn down the heat!

Here's what I hate about this place. They aren't open, and they took my money. I had to get a more expensive room at a nearby hotel. I want my money back, and I want Expedia and all the other agency's that list this place to remove it from their listing's.

Ed's Review

I'm an older white male and more accustomed to a regular hotel. The folks who were in this hotel were younger and more of a backpacker type. There was an unfortunate problem with one of the showers, which froze at the "hot" level and could not be turned off, which caused two midnight fire alarms. It was still unfixed when I left.

The tap water smells like rotten egg, I don’t know if it because of the pipe line or of the origin of the water that is somewhere over the mountains.

Pleasantly surprised by this property. Brilliant central location, minutes from all the places you want, very clean and although it was a small room it was ideal for me as a solo traveller. Warm cosy room with a very comfortable bed, sink in the room for brushing your teeth etc. If you want your own room, Reykjavik isn’t cheap, but so happy with this place. Shared shower room/toilet was absolutely fine. I was on the 3rd floor with a view down the street, I suppose if you are in the lower ground it is less ideal. Corridors can be a little noisy when people wheel cases passed but this honestly doesn’t bother me. I walked to the property from the Central Bus station in about 12 minutes. It is a lovely peaceful place. Staff lovely, easiest check in and out ever. I would very happily stay here again, which I think is always the true mark of a good place. ❤️

Horrible. Please avoid. Tiny room - it is literally the size of the bed. Horrible sewage smell in the room. Smelly and dirty toilets and showers. Unfriendly staff. No lift and the stairs are terribly narrow. Kitchen smelled terrible. And the worst part - fire alarm at midnight buzzing non stop for 5 minutes. As I heard it is common for the hotel due to ventilation problems. Doors slamming the whole night. Impossible to sleep. The only good thing about the place is location.
