Horrible Hotel
The computerized door locks did not work and we had to stand out in the cold on multiple occasions while we tried to get in contact with the staff. The staff was unhelpful and did not resolve the issue and they were very rude.

Perfect location, safe, clean. A little nosy at times but manageable since we were there in the middle of it all. Great shops and restaurants. Communication was via email or Expedia text box, so didn’t get an immediate response, but one within the day. We requested daily housekeeping and a one hour later check out and received. I totally definitely stay here again.

The uniqueness of this hotel is the self check in and out. You are given a code to access the building and room. Everything is done via email. Although we were given the wrong room number, it was rectified with a phone call. Room was clean, with completely furnished kitchen. And complementary Nespresso machine. Hotel is situated in the heart of downtown Reykjavic. Grocery market nearby and close to everything. Will stay again!

This property was a fantastic blend of historic architecture & details with a modern, clean update. Everything we needed (minus the microwave & dishwasher as stated on the description) was in our King Studio Apartment. Tasteful and vintage decor, clean and ample linens, soaps and even a Nespresso machine was much appreciated! The building’s location is perfect for access to the the downtown sights and shops. Easily walked to from the BSI and minutes away to Stop #6 if you’re going on excursions! Communication was always easy!

Loved the room and location, however, we were not satisfied about communication with staff. While they responded to our phone calls when we had issues, they did not respond to our request to book our bus to the airport. They told us they would book for us in our welcome email, but after phone calls and a few emails, we ended up having to book ourselves last minute. They also have a room for storing luggage, however once through the main doors, it was not guarded or locked in any way. We opted for a different luggage storage. Other than those 2 details, we absolutely loved our room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. Self check in was a breeze. You cannot beat this location!

Loved it! It was adorable and a great location. I liked how small It was, seemed a little more relaxing then a big hotel with a ton of people. Two negatives, the walls are kinda thin, we heard screaming kids one night really loud and was hard to sleep. Not at all the hotel’s fault though. And the second one is the bathroom smell. The hot water in Iceland smells like rotten eggs due to the sulphur. So the bathroom in turn smelled like that also. Probably something u would find most places though. I would absolutely stay here again though. My husband and I really liked it!

We thought this place was great! Would definitely consider staying here again....within walking distance of pretty much anything you want to do in Reykjavik. Be careful where you park....it looks as though you can park on the street right in front of the hotel, but that mistake cost us around $100.

Lovely little apartment, I actually put in a different apartment, 206, which was located right on main street. The only downside was that there was a lot of noise 6/7 nights and it was hard to sleep until about 3:00 because of people walking, laughing and making noise just outside the window.

Absolutely lovely condo spotless and well maintained and equipped. Keep in mind that this neighborhood gets very loud on the weekends so I wouldn't suggest this place if you have small kids but it was great for our mom-daughter trip. 2 issues: 1. no free parking anywhere close and parking zones are a bit confusing in Reykjavik so maybe provide guests with a handout on parking options. 2. The bathtub in the condo was sooooo cool. I was super excited to use it and then couldn't because for some reason the shower gets hot water but the bathtub only got luke-warm.

Beautiful apartment in a fun neighborhood, well located close to everything. Need to pay for parking. The apartment was poorly maintained. Th dishwasher had a sign that it was broken (that's OK, it happens) but was also left with dirty water. When we checked in late at night the windows were open and we didnt notice. We had to close the windows because of the rain and when we came back the next evening the place was stinking like dead fish. Luckily we were checking out early in the 2nd morning. Also the bathroom sliding door was very difficult to move and the hot water would take a really long time. If the owners maintain the place it will be worth excellent ratings
