Nice atmosphere and good location

Nice hostel with spacious private (hotel) rooms at the top floor. I had stayed at the hostel before but tried the hotel rooms for the first time. The room was comfortable and clean and with excellent views over the city and the sea. Very good and friendly service from all the staff.

Hyggeligt hotel

Centralt liggende hotel. Super god service, men et hotel der trænger til renovering og nye senge🙄 Når det er sagt, så overskygges det af den hyggelige atmosfære. Vi kunne sagtens finde på at besøge hotellet uge .

Location is convenient. Right in front of bus stop #10. Rooms are spacious and well equipped with amenities. Breakfast provided is good. Staffs are helpful and friendly. Definitely a good choice! Most restaurants are closed by 11pm. Found a pizza chain nearby which opens till 1am and the pizza was delicious

レイキャビクを再訪する機会があれば、迷わずここに泊まります！

現地ツアーの集合場所であるbus停10がすぐそばなので便利！ 共有スペース、キッチンともに広々している。 6ベッドの部屋に泊まったのだけど、広めなので余裕があります。 スタッフもとてもフレンドリーです。 目の前にスーパーがあるので夜遅く何か必要になったときは利用できますが、アイスランドは物価がとても高く、このスーパーでは500mlペットボトルの水やコーラなどが300円以上します。 時間があれば、歩いて5分ほどの場所にブタがトレードマークの激安スーパーがあり、半値なのでそこをおすすめ。

Excellent location - easy walking distance for exploring the city centre and with many bars/restaurants nearby including a 24 hour supermarket across the street. Bus stop conveniently located outside the hotel for airport and excursion drop off/pick up. Spacious, comfy and quiet room. Good breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely touch leaving a bottle prosecco and chocoate in my room on New Year's Eve thank you :) Would definitely stay here again

Perfect location and really nice staff. I thought the dorm rooms got a little warm, but this is likely because guest might of turned up the radiator/ heater. In the community kitchen fridge space was hard to find. Maybe a bigger fridge or a better system to toss out old stuff that guest might have left behind.
