    Decent hotel for customers who doesn't mind absence of staff on site

    This hotel operates without front desk or staff on-site. It's not necessarily a problem, but locks to the lobby and to the room were somewhat capricious, and overall approach of remembering the pass that is provided 24 hours in advance, somewhat annoying. Also, entrance to the lobby diner through side door, and its somewhat uncomfortable to go through

    It's a small hotel with its distinct room design/style, which I liked.

    Good value for money close to the meeting I was attending. Netto grocery store and plenty of coffee and food options all in walking distance . Free parking

    It was quite tricky to find the exact location of the hotel in the building, as it didn't have very much visually present signs. On top of that, it was quite hard to figure out how the touch-screen number pad on the door works - after a long day it was a stressful experience to get it all right. Visual instructions on finding the spot and entering the key could have been very helpful here. There was no room service, during our stay of 4 nights the rooms remained untouched (not that as we know of) in terms of cleaning. This includes the trash in the bin that was not thrown out on any of the days. Refrigerator was buzzing, and since it was all in a single room, it could be difficult to fall asleep for irritable individuals.

    The room looked really nice, clean and had neat design choices. The bed was comfortable. The kitchenette had most of the things that we needed and the oven could be used as a microwave. When we arrived we found out that refrigerator was not working. We reached out to customer support via chat and they resolved the issue quickly. The Wifi was alright and there was free parking space both in front and in the back of the building. We received all of the instructions for a self service check-in in time.

It has the name hotel in it but it’s not an actual hotel there’s no front desk we had some difficulties given in use in our code and it was myself and two other guest all trying to record over the course of like 20 minutes not being able to get inside and it was cold outside And I’m from a different country I cannot call for help so that was not fun.

    Fully equipped with everything

    Arriving 2am in the morning was not easy to find the entrance, i would put a larger and clean sign for easier reconization of the entrance. After finding it everything is easy and straight forward.

    Queit good location, easy access to bus to downtown and grocery stores near by.

    Little space for toiletries in the bathroom.

    Self service check in. Secure entrance and door lock. The location was okay as there is a bus stop behind the hotel on the main street, easy to get into the city with public transport. And there are some restaurants in the block for 5-10 min walk.

    There was a very loud dishwasher, we started it before going to bed and we couldn’t sleep until it turned off. Other than that, everything was okay.

    There was 3 of us in one room and I would say there was enough space, however it is needed to say we only stayed for two nights. I believe the stay would have been a bit less comfortable had we’ve been here longer. The bathroom was clean and spatious. Beds were very nice. Parking was available infront of the hotel.

    overall ok experience, but definitely didn't like the lack of space to hang clothes/towels

    There is not a single place in the room at all where you can hang your clothes. No hook in the bathroom to hang towels, no closet in the room, no hangers, which I find very inconvenient since we stayed for a few nights. For a room that's not all that small, they could definitely have designed it better to fit a small closet or even a rack of some sort.

    Location is great, it's about 10min from downtown Reykjavik by car. Iceland can become very expensive if you eat out every day, so it's great to have a little kitchen in the room where we can cook simple meals.

    Complicated oven and hob and lack of storage but we worked around it. Tv a bit limited for English speakers.

    Had very comfortable beds. Reasonably quiet location, private, dishwasher and tablets, coffee and tea and everything needed to make breakfast, snacks and simple dinners. Blackout curtains were good. Shower was amazing, toiletries good quality. Convenient door codes. Big windowsills to place toiletries and our stuff, and one shelf above bed. Dishwasher was welcome and good communication with the staff via messages.

    There was a bit limited space for storing belongings, but overall the stay was pleasant and perfectly suited for a short holiday.

    The apartment was small, and the bathroom was also compact, but everything was clean and comfortable. We always found a parking spot, and there were plenty of essential items – from kitchen utensils to small everyday conveniences. The stay was pleasant and perfectly suited for a short holiday.

    I felt that the place needed more attention to cleaning.

    The format seemed simple to me and the instructions very clear. Although there is no staff available to answer questions, it is enough to write through the defined communication channels and the response is almost immediate.

    The ceiling was not finished, it looked creepy considering the bed was a bunk bed. A closet or additional space for hanging outside clothes would help.

    For travelers with a car, this apartment is an excellent choice. It's in a great location with free parking available, which is a huge plus. While it's a bit of a walk to get to the downtown area (about 50 minutes), it's only a quick drive away. The room itself was clean and comfortable, providing a pleasant place to rest. The bunk bed works well for a child, but it may feel a little too narrow for an adult.

    Room could have been cleaner. In particular, finding human hairs in the sheets was not pleasant. Lacks cupboards. In my room, one of the window mechanisms was broken, could not close totally. Check-out at 10 is quite early.

    Room size was good. Possible to walk to the centre of town (it took me about 30 minutes).
