So this was a fantastic property. It was centrally located to just about everything in Reykjavík. It was more than a hostel, and the private rooms were well worth the price. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip.

The chief virtue of this hotel is its location. It's one of the least expensive places to stay in the old city, but you basically get what you pay for. The rooms are small, the bathrooms are shared, the cleaning and upkeep are minimal, and the staff are non-existent. You are basically paying for its proximity to the center of town more than anything else.

The location is excellent, and I really liked the free coffee and tea station. There is also a spacious seating area where you can charge your phone. My room was clean when I arrived, and the communal showers were also mostly clean. However, during my three-day stay, my room wasn’t cleaned at all, and I didn’t receive any fresh towels despite messaging the property to request some. I also had to contact Expedia because the hotel didn’t send me the access codes needed to enter the building/room. However, as a solo female traveller, I felt safe, and I would stay here again.

Very basic guesthouse. Bed was good. One electrical outlet in the room--had to unplug the lamp to plug in my phone charger. Electronic locks on room doors are a bit fussy--especially ridiculous if you get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night! ALL the door hinges in the place could use a bit of oil--not a huge deal in the off season, but I would get annoyed very quickly by all the noisy/squeaky doors when occupancy is high.
