- Pradeep (2/5): BETTWANZEN! - kein Frühstück BETTWANZEN IN 403
- Manfred Bruno (9/5): - Tolle Lage, direkt in der Altstadt, ruhig, Coffee FREE Keine Rezeption, mit Code Haustür und Zimmertür öffnen. Dass wurde vorher nirgends erwähnt.
Angegebene Tel. Nr. nicht erreichbar/temporär nicht vorhanden, versuchen Sie es später noch einmal.....
Auf WhatsApp, Email und SMS kenen Code erhalten.
Hatte gottseidank die booking- app auf dem Handy.
Dort fand ich unter meine Buchungen irgendwo die Codes, gesendet gegen Mittag.
Jetzt alles ok.
Andere Gäste hatten am nächsten Tag panikartig das gleiche Problem.
Das muss doch nicht sein!
- Rod (1/5): It was an absolute nightmare - I did not get a confirmation email. I tried to ring on the front door 32 times to get assistance. The door entry system does not connect to anybody. The front door was open even though it was meant to be locked. I could enter the property but there was nobody there as stated that there would be. I was not the only person with his problem. I don’t usually leave reviews but I hope that anybody else that books it make sure that they get a confirmation code from the Hotel with the door entry pin number the security of the building is not very good and there are no staff there to help them even though they do say so. As I’ve already stated, security was problem and there is nobody there and the phone number that he’s given on the front door does not work
- Gerd (8/5): -
- Csorgo (3/5): That's what you get for eur 80 - It was clean. Lack off staff, broken coffee machine, not even the basic kitchen facilities although it is just a hostel. fire alarm at 2am for no reason. Noisy interior doors.
- Otaro21 (10/5): Simple but it's good and affordable!!! Your in ICELAND - It's in the center and near in all the bus stop of your excursion. It's clean with free coffee and hot water. When the coffee maker was not working. There's no hot water for coffee. But they made and alternative on it. They 2 thermos for coffee and hot water. So still is good.
- Maurizio (9/5): - B B
- Sini (3/5): Avoid this hotel - Great location The code to the door did not work so I called and messaged the property. Nobody answered my calls or messages. They had not put the # after the room door code which is why the door did not open. I figured this out myself and finally got in.
I felt very unsafe in the hotel as there were no staff and there were some young guys drinking whisky and being loud in the communal area when I arrived. I knew it was not staffed at most times but at least I thought in emergency, my call would be answered.
The floor in the room was dirty with brown stains that went in a long line from almost the door to the window. The curtain had black finger marks on it which were also on the wall next to the window.
There is no sound proofing so I could hear everything coming from outside and the communal area downstairs (I was on the second floor). You can also hear the rooms above me or anybody moving in the corridor. I recommend taking ear plugs with you if you want to stay here and have a good sleep.
I went to get some dinner and got back early evening. There was food thrown on the stairs inside in front of the main door. I heard the staff come in around 7am but when I checked out of the hotel after 10am, the same food was still there. Nobody had cleaned it up.
The floor in the toilet/shower was flooded with water around 8am. The cleaner cleaned the toilet but they left the water puddle on the floor. Also, there was nasty stuff in the plug hole in the shower. This had not been cleaned though staff was in.
The tea/coffee machine did not work. Another guest told me they had reported the issue the day before but nobody had come to fix it.
The breakfast was left outside the door around 7am. It included jam and butter but there were no utensils so you could not use them unless you used your finger. They should have included a disposable knife in the bag.
My main issue was not feeling safe and clean.

- Inês (7/5): No geral foi, boa. Boa localização, quarto confortável. Zonas comuns podiam ser mais cuidadas. - No geral estava tudo ok. O quarto era confortável e tinha as comodidades necessárias para o tempo que fiquei, achei que tinha boa proteção sonora. Um dos duches achei muito pequeno e acho que as casas de banho deveriam ser limpas mais regularmente, sendo que nunca vi ninguém a limpar durante a minha estadia, mas estavam razoáveis. A parte pior foi o alarme de incêndio que enquanto estive no hotel tocou pelo menos duas vezes, tendo sido uma delas a meio da noite, o que provocou um grande sobressalto. Felizmente ambas as vezes foram falsos alarmes, mas deveria ser algo a melhorar, sendo que na segunda vez outro hóspede tentou contactar o alojamento várias vezes para perceber o que se passava e ninguém atendeu.
- Sophie (8/5): - C'est proche du centre. Hôtel calme.
- JohnHGLloyd (9/5): Old Town Reykjavík is an ideal base for city stays - Old Town's location is excellent, right in the historic heart of Reykjavík, steps away from the Parliament building, and close to a wide range of restaurants and bars. The room was clean and comfortable, with clean bathrooms and WCs. I was particularly grateful to the hotel cleaners, who helped me with my suitcase up the stairs to my room. There were also lots of chairs and tables in the common area, making it a good place to rest and recover after travel into the city. It ticked all the boxes for me, a simple overnight stay before an airport transfer the following morning.
- Hanna (3/5): This place will ruin your vacation - I liked that it was close to all main locations in the city I didn’t like that there is no elevator; it’s not soundproof and you can hear everything, so it’s impossible to sleep.
The worst thing is fire alarm at 01:45, everyone was evacuated and then told that it’s a mistake
- Tricia Ann (10/5): -
- Rico (6/5): -
- Július (8/5): Lacné ubytovanie v centre Reykjaviku - Poloha a káva. Niekto spustil požiarny alarm skoro ráno.
- Corrado (6/5): -
- michal (10/5): - - good location
- coffe, tea and microvawe available in the common arena
- good internet
- helpful staff - no parking on premises, you can leave the car for the night for free at public parking (10min walk) or use free public parking (25min walk)
- Aleksandra (7/5): -
- Pamela (9/5): Great place to stay; Very well located - The room was comfortable and clean, always coffee at the lobby; very peaceful. The cleaning ladies very kind and helpful. Loved the sink into the room! And the possibility to regulate the temp room. Kinda loud during bed time and in the middle of the night. Woke me up several times. Lots of noises from the corridors, fire alarm, etc. It would be helpful have someone to manage these situations onsite.
- Tea (8/5): Billigt och väldigt prisvärt om man vill ha bra enkelt boende och lägga pengar på annat än hotell! - Läget och enkelheten med checking/ut är toppen! Bra och rena rum för priset. Läget är 10/10 Väldigt lyhört, tunna väggar och även om kodlåsen på dörrarna är jättebra så hörs de alltid när andra rum är i korridorerna eller ska öppna sina dörrar!
- Patrik (7/5): -
- Roman (7/5): -
- Manuel Ángel (6/5): - Sólo había café
- Rexhino (10/5): -
- Christoph (2/5): - - the overall idea of sinks in the rooms and shared bathrooms works quite well. Rooms are small but enough for 1 person
- location is very good
- heaters could easily keep the small room cozy
- the room also had a nice chair and table - there is absolutely 0 sound isolation. No sound proof windows, no sound proof doors. You can hear absolutely EVERYTHING happening on the street and outside your room. Every car driving by, music from across the street, rowdy guests in the hallways. You can hear every conversation
- there was no staff present to enforce the quiet hours. People were shouting in the hallways and slamming doors well into the morning hours. Messages about this were answered a week after my stay
- due to this, the most basic function of a hotel - sleep - was impossible
- the bed was hard and the pillow flat. I ended up using my jacket as a pillow
- Álvaro (5/5): - Solicité una factura porque era un viaje de trabajo y no me la enviaron
- Tommi (5/5): -
- Marek (10/5): -
- Jessica (8/5): - Sijainti, ilmainen kahvi & tee (toki ei toiminut koko aikaa). Majoituspaikka ei vastannut yhteenkään viestiin eikä aina puhelinsoittoonkaan. Henkilökuntaa eli siistijöitä näkyi siivousaikana, he olivat ystävällisiä ja avuliaita. Ulko-oven koodi oli vaihdettu ja se ilmoitettiin jälkikäteen. Onneksi oli muita yöpyjiä, jotka osasivat sen kertoa.Äänieristys todella huono ja ovet paukkuivat aina kiinni mennessään.
- Anna sigfríður (8/5): -
- Faria (7/5): Loved it - Every thing was good Nothing
- Renaud (10/5): Excellent rapport qualité prix pour ce logement en plein cœur de la ville. Chambre petite mais bien aménagée. - Excellent rapport qualité prix pour ce logement en plein cœur de la ville. Chambre petite mais bien aménagée. Chambre un peu petite
- Ingunn (1/5): -

- Rooveer (10/5): -
- Raul (4/5): - Ubicación Habitación increíblemente pequeña. Se escucha todo, pasillo, habitación de al lado. Cada pisada
- Isaac (10/5): -
- Karolina (8/5): Good value for money - Very nice location, good price. A bit poor noise izolation, we can hear everybody walking one floor up.
- Lukas (9/5): - Good pace nearby the mains activities. The noise from other guests and noise from outside was uncomfortable. But is not fault by Hotel.
- Steffen (7/5): -
- Maron (10/5): -
- Luca (6/5): - Good value for money, comfortable bed, easy check-in and check-out, close to city centre No room cleaning, shower in shared bathroom was not very clean
- Xi (6/5): 这个价格可以选择更好的地方 - 楼下有微波炉可以加热 没有电梯,如果你的行李很重很多不要选择这里
房东提供的大门密码是错的,大门上提供的电话一直没人接听,我们在寒冷的天气里等待
- Karolina (10/5): -
- Zoran (10/5): -
- maaike (8/5): Prima verblijf voor 1 overnachting, heerlijk centraal gelegen - Centraal gelegen, faciliteiten binnen bereik, schoon Geen gordijnen enkel rolgordijnen
- Liliana (10/5): -
- Nikolaus (5/5): - The common areas were perfect. Like a good hostel, moreso than a hotel, with nice coffee making facilities The beds were rather uncomfortable. There's no staff, which means that we did not know what to do when the room next to ours started drinking and partying noisily very late at night. But worst of all, the hotel cancelled our original booking 2 nights before our stay, and it was a nightmare trying to get in contact with them. They told booking.com that they would ring/email us right back, and it took over 8 hours for them to reply. I wasted a whole day on the phone with booking.com just trying to fix the situation. Would not recommend this hotel for this reason alone. Not worth the stress.
- Valentin (10/5): -
- Biljana Seper (10/5): Excellent location! - Everything is very nice, location, cleanliness and room is very bright and cozy. Room could be a bit bigger.
- Sohal (10/5): - good
- Chi (10/5): Elegant budget hotel in a quiet neighborhood. - A free tea station is the best feature of this hotel. The location is ideal for travelers seeking quiet accommodations, yet it's not far from downtown. All main bus stations are within walking distance. This hotel does not have an elevator. However, there is a locker room that is quite convenient for late check-ins. No receptionist is needed because the hotel uses access codes for entry.
- MICHAEL (9/5): -
- Jack (9/5): -
- Dylan (7/5): Good location, very loud. - Great location, friendly staff. Paper thin walls. You could hear everything happening on the floor. Also, despite there being quiet hours, they are not enforced and we had some extremely loud and inconsiderate neighbors that kept us up at night.

- Anton (7/5): A location without great pretensions, but all things considered, it's actually OK. I would come back - The location is very well placed right in the city center which makes all the money, the rooms are quite modest but very clean as are the bathrooms.
The atmosphere inside is pleasant, the heating is ok.
Very useful tips displayed in the entrance lobby about Iceland. Breakfast brought to the room door very promptly every morning, but quite poor and the same things
- Oliver (10/5): -
- NelaS. (8/5): - Great location. Very affordable. The view from our room was completely blocked by another building.
- Donna (8/5): Pleasant stay in well located hostel. - Fantastic location right near the Settlement Museum, close to bus-stops for tours. Close to a mix of restaurants, cafes and grocery stores. My single room was quite small but with a comfortable bed. Really more of a hostel than a hotel so I was pleasantly surprised by the bathrooms. I didn't see any staff and if something had gone wrong I wouldn't have known how to get in touch with anyone. There was only one shower and on the final day I couldn't get in early enough.

- Jurate (10/5): - Eng:The location is amazing, coffee and tea, breakfast at the door, what else does a traveler need. Warm, clean. If I come again, I will definitely stay here. Wifee is great. Near buss stop No.1, near buss station in old town.
LT: Vietovė nuostabi, kava ir arbata, pusryčiai prie durų, ko keliautojui dar reikia. Šilta, švaru. Jei atvyksiu vėl būtinai čia apsistoti. Wifee puikus. Nėra
- VoJu (8/5): -
- Kirsten (7/5): It was a good value. We appreciated having a safe place to stay that was affordable. - The location was great. The property was clean and we felt safe there. We were able to control the temperature in the room and it was cozy. The staff was very responsive when we had issues. The room was small. The beds weren’t bad but they weren’t the most comfortable. The power went out in some of the outlets but after messaging, the staff had it restored in a few minutes.
- Margaret (9/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): Best value for a basic private bed. - In a very expensive city nice to have a private space at a reasonable price. Coffee machine was acting up but just kept unplugging it. Just an improvement opportunity. I still am thankful for the free coffee and microwave.
Also front door needs some attention.
Noisy guests. Sound travels
- Emanuela (7/5): -
- LEE (10/5): 강력추천 - Great location, Easy check-in, Nice and big enough room to feel cozy, good price. Everything was great for 22h layover in Iceland. Nothing

- Jarmoszko (5/5): - Lokalizacja. Zazwyczaj jak zostawałem w tym obiekcie dostawałem pokój który był czysty, łóżko nie było trzeszczące. Miałem przynajmniej 2 gniazdka w pokoju. A tym razem tragedia łóżko pod kątem. Jedno gniazdko daleko od łóżka. Nie było krzesła. Mam nadzieję że nigdy nie dostanę 207.
- Jorunn (5/5): - Beliggenheden, god seng Personalet. Forkert kode til døren,attitude når jeg bad om hjælp, kaffemaskine i stykker, vasken på værelset tilstoppet.

- Jesús Julián (9/5): Muy buena relación calidad-precio. - Ubicación
Tranquilidad
Limpieza en los baños No tener una mesita en la habitación.
- Eleni (10/5): Value for money - Η τοποθεσία ήταν εξαιρετική όπως και η καθαριοτητα Ότι πολύ συχνά δεν λειτουργούσε το μηχάνημα που έβγαζε καφέ και τσάι
- Donya (7/5): - Easy to check in and out. And great location. As it's an old building, it's difficult to prevent noisy in the room - when people are not mindful of walking or talking in the hallways. Perhaps a sign to remind people to be mindful would help?
- ScottyTaylor (9/5): Logement central - Chambre très bien chauffée malgré qu'elle soit petite mais les lits confortables. Le café était offert très apprécié ainsi que des petits chocolats.
En plein centre-ville. On n'a pas vu de personnel.
