The hotel is in the.middle of all activities. Five stars on location and convenience. Safe clean and quiet. The check in process is not so easy. Its all virtual. Once you figure it out its okay. There is only a remote number for assistance. All things considered i would stay there again.

Great location

Great location in town. We weren’t able to get into the restaurant that has an elevator so we had to carry the luggage upstairs but the stairs were wide. Check in was pretty easy- we got a email with the door codes and were able to get in easy (no front desk). Room was clean and comfortable with good amount of space, cooktop, coffee maker (with pods) and little fridge. Although the patio door didn’t seem to lock we felt safe and would return.

The hotel room itself was fantastic - lots of space, comfy bed, well decorated. But the street was SO noisy (I was there on a Friday night) it made it difficult to sleep and the stupid automatic door lock did not work at all. I had to call and have a staff member remote access to let me in - really wish we could go back to real keys! You also have to walk through a restaurant to get to the elevator which was a little awkward.

Good overall quick stay in Reykjavik !

The location was good, and quiet. Plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The room’s AC unit did not seem to work so it was very hot in the room even with the windows open constantly. Room had nice kitchenette. Drinkable water from tap was very nice. Stand up shower only, and due to not having a door or a lip, only a curtain, it would flood rest of bathroom floor. Due to the early limited flights into the country we requested an early check-in via email the morning we arrived. Staff was able to accommodate us for a fee.

Good choice for downtown Rejkyavik

This was a last minute choice and it met our needs. We were on the ground floor, and the rooms are located at the back of a restaurant, which was fine. You couldn't hear any noise from the restaurant. The room had a skylight which provided ample light and fresh air into the room. It was larger than we expected (we were 3 x adults). You step out the front door and everything you need is within a 3-5 minute walk.

Room very nice. Hotel unmanned so initial access was not ideal, particularly for early arrival and should you need to leave luggage while explore the area. Otherwise, the room was very nice and the restaurant below was a good option and provided good food.

It’s a self-serve sort of place. Use a keypad to get into the hall, and a keypad to get into the room. The rooms were fine. Clean, big enough with a counter and little kitchenette. One of our rooms needed a little TLC with a bathroom door that wouldn’t close and the closer foe the patio door dangling as the screws had been pulled from the frame. The elevator is accessed through the dining room of a restaurant. It’s strange but it works. When we left the hotel the restaurant was closed but we were still able to access the elevator. Very strange but it was fine. I’m sure a lot of folks will struggle with the keypads - watch the YouTube video they send you and it’s easy. Overall it’s a super convenient location and seemed good value for the money. As it’s not a hotel per se, no staff on site, no reception desk, etc, you’ll have to find somewhere to store your luggage if you arrive before check in time. We found a service just a few doors down - keep that extra cost in mind when booking. Same goes for breakfast - there aren’t a lot of choices nearby. In the end although the room rate was appealing we spent extra time and money on luggage storage and breakfast - perhaps paying a bit more for a true hotel with breakfast included would have been beneficial.

Excellent staff and location. Rooms differ a lot even with the same description - size etc. We had three rooms, the middle of summer when it's daylight the blackout curtains in our room were falling off the rails etc. Other room curtains/rod were inches away from the wall, so it never was dark at all. It was not conducive to sleeping well. Beds were not super comfortable, but we were only there for a short time.

Very clean and comfortable self-check in aparthotel in the heart of Reykjavik's dining and shopping along Laugavegur (Flybus drop off/pick up: Stop 9, OK Studios) We had a smooth check-in, a good stay and a smooth check-out. No staff on-site but host was clear in their instructions and prompt in theirccommunication via emails in the few days before and during our stay. Kitchen was well-equipped and stocked for cooking and cleaning (the coffee machine, freezer fridge, stove, grill microwave and dishwasher worked great, self-paid basement laundry facilities were a godsend). We were fine without daily cleaning as the large trash bins were sufficient for 3-4 nights. Would stay here again!
