Guest Reviews
- Ona (10/5): -
- Jacopo (8/5): - La struttura si trova in una posizione centrale e praticamente di fronte alla cattedrale della città.
La colazione è servita a buffet che è molto vario. Ho affittato la camera per oltre una settimana, avrei gradito che venisse pulita almeno una o due volte nell'arco del periodo in cui mi ha ospitato.
- Regina (8/5): -
- Valentina (7/5): -
- Rudolf Andreas (8/5): -
- Anni (10/5): - Stedet ligger super centralt
- Alexandra (8/5): - Nettes Guesthouse in guter Lage. Preis-Leistung ist stimmig.
- Marek (7/5): Za tú cenu človek nemôže očakávať niečo ako v **** hotely. Na jednu noc je to v poriadku. - Skvelá poloha blízko centra, radiátor na izbe, fajn raňajky Hrozne smrdela voda ako týždeň staré vajcia. Ešte že sme mali vodu so sebou, lebo by sme si nemali ani ako umyť zuby. Nemajú svoje parkovisko, musíte parkovať v ulici. My sme parkovali pri kostole
- Külli (8/5): -
- Magali (5/5): EN DERNIER RECOURS - le petit déjeuner et l'emplacement la taille de la chambre , la qualité de la literie , la salle de bains très petite . Mauvaise insonorisation de l'établissement ( cloisons tuyauterie, escaliers);
- Linda (7/5): - The breakfast bread was warm and delicicious You'd habe to walk to the Main building for breakfast and with the hardboiled eggs in the morning you could murder someone. They were more than dead.
- Gyorgy (10/5): -
- Anastasiia (10/5): - Мы попали когда было мало людей .. и по соседству никого не было .. если вы едете в сезон то шумоизоляция от соседей никакая. Всё в пешей доступности , в хостеле есть всё необходимое для готовки , завтрак скудный но всегда был свежеиспечённый хлеб ( очень вкусный) Минусов не нашла
- Shahana (8/5): Good - Big rooms. Excellent location free parking on side road Check in at night the instructions where really bad took is so long to find our rooms as we checked in late and host left.
- Gaelle (8/5): - L'emplacement, près de toutes les commodités. Grande cuisine à disposition. Petit déjeuner moyen, un peu coincés les uns sur les autres dans la pièce. Pas d'accueil, un peu impersonnel mais une bonne adresse tout de même
- Tea (7/5): - Lokacija Soba je bila u potkrovlju i bilo je podosta bučno jer je vani kišilo
- Francesco (7/5): - Room was clean, great location just by the main church, parking available on the street (if you are lucky you can find it in a free parking street, otherwise you need to pay but it's not too expensive). The bathroom was very clean, however we were sharing it with 5 rooms so it was often busy. Overall, positive experience.

- LEONARDO DAVID (9/5): -
- Y. Chancelier (8/5): - Bon emplacement et bon petit-déjeuner. Une odeur d'égoût dans les parties communes à l'arrivée. Heureusement, elle a disparu le lendemain.
Le matelas aurait pu être meilleur.

- Teller (8/5): - Preis Leistung verhâltnis
Sauberkeit
Frühstücksbuffet Schmale steile Treppe nach oben
- Michaela (9/5): Einfach, übersichtlich, sauber, alles was man braucht. Super gelgen. Das parkieren in der Umgebung geht ohne Probleme. - Die Lage, Sauberkeit, Preis-Leistung, Unkompliziertheit Es hat eine enge steile Treppe die mit schwerem grossem Koffer je nach Muskelkraft etwas umständlich sein könnte. Für mich wars aber machbar.
- Anabel (9/5): - Very clean and delicious breakfast
- OLEKSANDR (10/5): - Місце розташування,чистота і персонал
- Guillermo Tf89 (8/5): -
- Natasja (7/5): - De locatie Voelde nogal heel hostelachtig
- Mary (10/5): Clean, close to it all - Ckean, kind, stored bags as soon as arrived early am, room ready early, nice all around
- Brigitte (8/5): - Die Lage ist super, das Frühstück ist völlig ausreichend und frisch und es gibt leckeres Brot. Die Zimmer sind geräumig. Der check-in verlief reibungslos. Wir empfehlen es auf jeden Fall weiter. Die Gemeinschaftsküche hat keinen Kühlschrank und ist im Kellergeschoss etwas kalt....
- Sandra (6/5): - Vuilnisbakken onder ons raam, wij zeten in het bijgebouw. Sanitair erg klein. Het kraanwater stond naar zwavel.
- Raul (8/5): -
- Antoinette (8/5): Top voor een nachtje - Prachtige locatie. Goed ontbijt Jammer dat er niet meerdere douches waren nu moest je geluk hebben of je er bij kon.
- Amandine (6/5): - Le rapport qualité/prix (en basse saison) est très correct. C’est très bruyant, les chambres ne sont pas insonorisées. Au rez-de-chaussée, on est constamment réveillés par les allées et venues dans l’immeuble.

- ti (8/5): -
- Hana (9/5): - Breakfast was excellent. Nice and clean accommodation.
- Glyn (7/5): - Good breakfast Noisy bedroom doors banging all night
- Norbert (8/5): - Great central location with a nice, clean room. The shared bathroom was also clean; however, the soap dispenser didn't work. Breakfast offered a good variety and plenty of food. The late check-in policy has a downside: towels are not provided, which was very inconvenient after a long day of travel and hiking. It would be helpful to understand the reasoning behind this policy. Additionally, some of our food went missing from the shared fridge—this wasn't the apartment's responsibility, but it still left an unpleasant impression.
- Fatima (8/5): -
- Anna (10/5): Simple, clean rooms and bathrooms in walking distance to all the city has to offer. Breakfast included makes it a great -
- Aneta (9/5): -
- Saskia (8/5): good spot! - Nice beds, good location, breakfast was fine. Checked in late and it worked very convientiently. Kitchen was shared with one other room but was very clean and well equipped The bathroom had some mold and smelled a bit like sewage
- Linda (9/5): Great place to stay - Great location with everything we needed. Kitchen facilities were good and breakfast was well prepared.
- Laetitia (8/5): Bon logement pour explorer Reykjavík - Localisation pratique depuis la station de bus et pour découvrir Reykjavik à pieds. Le lieu est plutôt calme. La cuisine était pratique. Il manque quelques équipements de base à la cuisine pour qu'elle soit réellement fonctionnelle. Le petit-déjeuner pourrait être de meilleur qualité même s'il est suffisant pour démarrer la journée.
- Thomas Just (8/5): -
- Kristel (1/5): Beware!!! This place is great if you want the prison experience - Nothing Small room resembling a prison cell
You can hear every noise from every room. Doors slam and lock loudly. The luggage storage was just in an open room where multiple people travel in and out of. No staff overnight— did not answer my complaint was told they only monitor phones— no phone in room and can’t make international call
- Jennifer (10/5): -
- Birgit (6/5): - Die Lage ist wirklich gut und es ist eine günstige Übernachtungsoption in Reyklavik. Anfänglich fanden wir den Self Check-in etwas verwirrend und fanden auch nicht auf Anhieb unser zugewiesenes Haus. Wir waren im Guesthouse Nr.27 untergebracht. Es gab dort fünf Zimmer und nur ein WC und eine Dusche. Das Bett war sehr klein und die Matratze war schon etwas "durchgelegen". Waschbecken gab es in unserem Zimmer keines.
- Mariana (8/5): -
- Milas (10/5): - U centru grada, 5 minuta hoda do znamenitosti, osoblje brzo u odgovoru, kućni red se poštuje, dobar doručak.
- Hajda (9/5): - Świetna lokalizacja, pyszne śniadania (zwłaszcza ciepły chrupiący chleb), bardzo miła obsluga! Polecam!
- Zoltán (10/5): Mindent elmond, hogy ötödször szálltunk meg itt. - Nagyon jó, bőséges reggeli. Szuper elhelyezkedés.
- Lisa (8/5): Good value budget hotel in a great location - The hotel met our request for a ground floor room which was great. The room was small, but everything functioned well. The breakfast was simple, but again all we expected for the price. No towels in the room on the first night, and too late to request any (I should have read online that you have to ask for them). Three locked doors to get through before getting into the room (but very secure!)
- Vladyslav (5/5): - lokalizacja
- Elise (9/5): Très bon rapport qualité prix pour une nuit, - Facile d’accès, calme, proximité du centre.
- Mira (7/5): Zuverlässig geführtes Haus, Preis-Leistung ist top! - Die zentrale Lage, das Zimmer war sauber und hatte immer einen frischen Duft, Handtücher gab's genug, Check-In und -Out waren unkompliziert, das Personal war bemüht und hilfsbereit, die Bettwäsche war sehr angenehm flauschig, es gab ein kleines Waschbecken im Zimmer (Zähneputzen, Gesicht waschen, Flasche auffüllen), das Frühstück war reichlich und das Brot einfach köstlich!!!
Insgesamt prima für den Preis, empfehlenswert! Das Gebäude ist etwas hellhörig, die Türen knallen leicht zu, und man muss in Stoßzeiten etwas warten, bis das Gemeinschaftsbad frei wird.
- Judit (8/5): Belvárosi szállás minden előnyével és hátrányával! - Rendben volt, késői átvétellel térképes megoldással vettük át. Tiszta és minden egyszerű. Közös helység tiszta és jól használható volt. Reggeli lekvárok mogyórókrém és felvágottak, több féle friss pékáruk.
- Cedric (8/5): -
- Allira (10/5): The lady was super friendly and welcoming, she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything - Everything. Location, amenities, cleanliness, friendly and welcoming! Nothing. Loved it!
- Kamila (10/5): - Pobyt bardzo miły, lokalizacja w samym centrum, idealne miejsce dla osób, które Reykjavik odwiedzają przelotem. Śniadanie urozmaicone. Pokój 1 osobowy bardzo wygodny. Polecam!
- Chris59200 (9/5): - Emplacement idéal à proximité des 2 principales artères de la capitale et à 2mn à pieds de la cathédrale.
Petit déjeuner complet. Cuisine totalement équipée (sauf accès frigo). Selon l'heure ça peut être bruyant.
- Michele (8/5): - La colazione, i numerosi bagni e le numerose cucine Scale sporche,
- Bruno (9/5): - Posizione top Nulla
- Rudolf (8/5): Citynah - Style Guesthouse - auf Hügel - Ein Guesthouse auf einem Hügel mit sehr guter Lage zwischen Busstation und Fußgängerzone der City. Landmark Kirche ist sehr nahe. Frühstücksauswahl ist begrenzt, aber Frühstücksraum ist auch tagsüber offen und stimuliert Begegnungen. Pizza Service sehr nahe. Aus meinem Einzelzimmer im 3. Stock konnte ich Meer sehen. Mobiles Angebot preiswert. Treppe, Zimmer und Gemeinschaftsbad etwas beengt. Personal habe ich kaum gesehen. Kein TV.

- Simone (8/5): -
- Tatiana (7/5): - Le gars au petit déjeuner très désagréable
- Riccardo (7/5): 2 notti a reykjavíkk - La posizione è ottima dato che si trova a due minuti dalla cattedrale, la camera era pulita (anche se piccola) così come il bagno in comune Insonorizzazione inesistente, si sentivano le persone parlare fuori, le macchine passare e le scale cigolare diciamo che può andare bene per al massimo due nottu
- Houme Nathalie (7/5): - En plein centre ville et on peut tout visiter à pied. La salle du petit déjeuner petite et pas trop de choix
- EVGENIA (6/5): Très bien pour une nuit - L'odeur des canalisations dans la salle de bain
- Rodrigo (9/5): Muy buena estancia. Gran Desayuno. - Es un muy buen lugar con una extraordinaria ubicación en Reykiavik
Excelente desayuno. Le faltan Common Rooms..se siente todo muy apretado..pero al final sólo vamos a dormir y a desayunar y cumple con todo eso.
- Elia (9/5): -
- Ineta (8/5): - Lieliska atrašanās vieta, labas brokastis, ērta gulta Šauras trepes- koferi grūti uznest uz 3.stāvu.
- Anne (7/5): Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt gut geeignet – mit sehr guter Lage - Der Check-in und Check-out verliefen unkompliziert. Die Lage der Unterkunft ist sehr gut. Zudem gibt es in fußläufiger Entfernung einige Möglichkeiten, kostenfrei im öffentlichen Straßenraum zu parken. Das Frühstück war sehr einfach und könnte noch etwas aufgewertet werden. Insgesamt für einen kurzen Aufenthalt ganz gut geeignet.
- Mateusz (9/5): - Dobra lokalizacja, dobre śniadanie.
- patis (8/5): -
- Flora (7/5): - Emplacement On ne voit personne . Un peu perdu à l'arrivée
- Ghislaine (8/5): - L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter Reyjlavik Une seule salle d'eau avec WC partagée pour 4 à 5 chambres, cela fait peu ...
- Settimia (9/5): Posizione perfetta, colazione ottima. La cucina in comune con poche stoviglie comunicava con la camera da letto quindi - Posizione comodissima
Colazione ottima Cucina
- Siiri (8/5): Kui toa asukohta mitte arvestada, siis ülejäänud kõik on super :) - Ei meeldinud ainult toa asukoht. Kõik kes tulevad ja lähevad, käivad toauksest mööda. Seega liiga lärmakas asukoht magamiseks.
- Agata (9/5): Guesthouse confortevole in pieno centro - Pulito, confortevole, centrale. Lavandino in camera e bagno ad ogni piano. Buona colazione inaspettatamente inclusa Porta esterna della struttura sempre aperta. Viene fornito un codice per l’accesso ma è inutile.
- Maria Sol (10/5): Muy bien - Llegue de madrugada y el self check in es fácil y rápido! La ubicacion genial. El desayuno bien y completo. Buena relación precio/calidad Nadq
- Laarni (10/5): - Location. All stores are close about 2 minutes from the hotel. The bed is too itchy for my skin. And shared with the bathroom.
- Ülle (10/5): - Alati meeldiv teenindus ja väga hea asukoht ööbimiseks ,et jätkata reisi kas Islandil või lennata koju!
- Olga (9/5): Absolutely worth the price — a centrally located hotel with breakfast included. - I had a really great stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend it.
First of all, the location is absolutely one of the best. The hotel is situated right next to a famous church and in the very center of the city, which makes everything extremely convenient. It’s also very easy to navigate — you can see the church from almost anywhere, so it becomes a perfect landmark to find your way back.
Another big advantage is how easy it is to get around. The bus station is only about a 9-minute walk away, which is especially important since it’s the main way to get to the airport. Most tours also depart from there, so getting from the hotel to the bus station is quick, simple, and very convenient.
The hotel itself was clean and comfortable. Everything was well-maintained, and I had no issues at all during my stay.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the breakfasts. They were simple, but very tasty and satisfying — personally, I found everything I needed and really enjoyed them.
Overall, everything was clean, convenient, and well-organized. I had a very positive experience and no complaints whatsoever. The bathroom and toilet are shared between all rooms, which in itself is not a problem. However, the main inconvenience is that the toilet and shower are located in the same room. This can be quite uncomfortable when someone is taking a longer shower, as others have to wait to use the toilet. It becomes even more inconvenient if someone stays inside to dry their hair afterward, which can significantly extend the waiting time. It would be much more practical if the toilet were separated from the shower.
- Johanna (8/5): -
- Marta (10/5): Cómodo y genial - La ubicación es increíble Nos costó un poco encontrar las habitaciones porque aunque están muy cerca unas de otras, algunas están en otro edificio, pero todo estuvo muy bien
- Kerry (10/5): - 地理位置优越,离教堂和bus stop很近。self check in很方便。早餐丰富。 隔音不太好
- Anikó (6/5): Rövid tartózkodásra megfelelő. - A frissen sült kenyér finom volt a reggelinél. A szoba elhelyezkedése, kilátása a hátsó udvarra, kukákra nézett. Szakadt volt a lepedő, a víz kellemetlen szagú. A reggeli kínálata minimális, de az édesek bőségesek (kekszek, lekvárok).
- Timo (8/5): Sehr zentrales, preiswertes Hotel/Hostel - Das Hotel erstreckt sich auf mehrere Gebäude - allerdings in direkter Nachbarschaft. Unkomplizierter Check-In und Check-Out. Frühstück war in Ordnung, hat allerdings starken Jugendherberge-Charakter. Keine Möglichkeit, (schnee-)nasse Schuhe abzutrocknen, bevor man ins Zimmer geht. Ziemlich kleines Bad mit Bewegungsmelder-aktiviertem Licht - Bewegungsmelder allerdings hinter der Tür versteckt.
- Alessandra (7/5): - La posizione centralissima permetteva di arrivare ovunque a piedi
Staff disponibile e cortese Nella nostra camera, nel bagno privato, non c’era un vero interruttore della luce ma un sensore di movimento
Di conseguenza quando si era sotto la doccia continuava a spegnersi la luce
La colazione non aveva molta scelta dolce
- JOON IL (9/5): -
- Kaisa (9/5): - Helppo mukava vaivaton oleskelu. Nettisivuilla mainitaan että aamiainen on 7-10. Aamiainen alkoi kuitenkin 7.30...
- Royer (8/5): -
