In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Helpful, attentive staff — Guests repeatedly mention the staff going out of their way—carrying luggage, offering recommendations, extending check-out, and even helping find a lost item.
- Free on-site parking — A rare convenience in Reykjavik, with parking included at no extra cost—a real plus for road-trippers.
- Great location for exploring — Situated in the shopping district, with downtown Reykjavik roughly a 10-minute walk away and small shops across the street.
- Shared kitchen and garden — A well-equipped kitchen and outdoor garden with picnic tables and BBQ facilities create a sociable, self-catering atmosphere.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Some rooms share bathrooms — Economy and standard rooms come with shared bathroom facilities; only select room types have a private bathroom.
- Dining scores lower than other categories — Guests rate dining at 6 out of 8, suggesting the breakfast or food options are serviceable but not a highlight.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- Not all rooms are equally quiet — While soundproofing is listed, one guest noted 'garden shed views' and the property sits on a street—noise could vary by room.
