    The price was very affordable. I picked it from the internet and expected a hotel, but it was more like a hostel. The room was clean and bedding fine, but it felt like my friend and I were sleeping in a closet (no windows; if we closed the door, it felt somewhat claustrophobic and very warm!). It was quiet and dark, so that part was great. We were kind of stranded at the Rekyvakik airport and you came and picked us up and then took us to Keflavik airport the next day. We appreciated that very much!

    The location is in a really great part of town. Right next to the park. It's a little bit away from Reykjavik city center so it's quiet and calm and close enough to get to rekjavik by bus or long walk. Very nice. The hostel was clean and quiet and good lighting and water. The kitchen and laundry facility were such a treat very nice and clean. The staff was super nice and helpful with anything I needed. Will definitely come back here. 👍

    Charming boutique hotel. Great location, very friendly and informative staff! We stayed in a cabin that although small and basic, was meticulously clean. The shower pressure is amazing although the water has a sulfur smell which apparently is common for the area. We had to leave for the airport before breakfast and they were kind enough to make us a sandwich to take with us. We rented a car and there was plenty of parking.

    The best apartment we have ever stayed in. Perfect location with excellent decor. It made our holiday so relaxing to come back to such a beautiful place. So comfortable with everything you could possibly need. Great location if you have a hire car as 10-15 mins drive to Reykjavik. Lots of facilities nearby. Close to restaurants. We loved sitting by the windows watching the water and occasional seal in the Harbour. Super clean. Just perfect.

    Great location, with easy access to both the airport bus stops right outside the front of the hotel) and public transport buses (less than 5 minutes walk). Friendly staff. Very clean. Interesting display cabinets around the ground floor . Nice and warm given it was very cold and snowing outside. Comfortable bed and room was dark and quiet at night. Felt comfortable being here as a solo traveller. Hairdryer in bathroom.
