Hotel is in a great location, and easily accessible to the city and not too far from the main road. The bathroom needs some acrobat abilities due to its compact nature.

Good for solo travel

This was my second stay at this hotel, and it’s exactly what I’m looking for on solo travels - a decent room and not too expensive. It’s not the most luxurious place, but I wouldn’t expect that for the price. The location is great too, as it’s very close to bus stop 8, and you can reach the city centre on foot.

The hotel is centrally located and very close to bus stop #8 which is next to one of the most visible landmarks. Its perfect for a short no frills stay. The owner is kind. When choosing a place to stay in Reykjavik either you splurge and be far away from downtown or you compromise and be centrally located. I only stayed 1night and it worked for me.

Excellent no-frills budget hotel, great location

Only had about 15 hours in Reykjavik so literally checked in (super easy and friendly) and slept there. Room is budget so no frills but the bed was super comfy, the shower had pressure and was hot, and there was even a little kitchen area with microwave, fridge, sink and plates, cutlery etc. I didn't eat at the restaurant but it smelled amazing. The owner let me keep my bag there after checkout. All in all, for the crazy prices in this city and for what I needed, it was perfect.it was right near the bus stop for the airport shuttle and perfectly located for checking out the church and city.
