I shared detailed feedback with the hotel. Consistent traveler here with over 30 countries experience. We all know Iceland is more expensive than other areas; please consider this a hostel/low budget hotel quality. The location is good, close to areas that one will want to visit. Although the town is so small that people who are fitter/enjoy walking will find nearly everything is in close distance. The elevator is reliable for those who have mobility issues. For people who have a one night stay and/or are on an extended, budget trip with no kids or elderly folks, this can be a reasonable stop over option.

Hotel cancelled reservation because credit card « did work » I was in transit therefore didn’t know there was an issue until I got there at 11pm. Couldn’t find another hotel( tried 4 hotels then gave up). Credit card was fine- Charged taxi back to airport $260 (more than the cancelled room charge) and no issues. I receive email with check in information from 101 guesthouse same day they canceled

Excellent location, but the accommodations are sparse, to put it mildly. My biggest complaint was the closest toilet and shower to our room was simply dangerous to get in and out of the shower. It’s up on a podium and, when wet, extremely dangerous to exit. Both mornings we stayed there the toilet had run out of toilet paper.

Okay place for a one night stay as it is right in Reykjavik it made walking everywhere really easy. Our room was on the 3rd floor which was sweltering hot so we had to leave the windows open and then just listen to the city noise all night. It worked for one night.
