My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were basic and small, but immaculately clean and very comfortable, offering plenty of space for my belongings. The service was nice and helpful, though a bit slow at answering the door on New Year's Eve. The location was convenient, being near a bus stop but a bit noisy due to nearby bars and restaurants. The dining experience was good but could have had more options. Overall, it was a decent value for the money.

The location was ideal for exploring Reykjavik, being right in the city center and close to essential amenities. The dining options were limited, particularly at breakfast.

My stay at the hostel was overall great! The rooms were basic but very clean, and having two separate bathrooms in a female shared bedroom ensuite was a plus. The service was incredible, with friendly and helpful staff always available. The location was perfect, right at the end of Laugavegur and close to all the shops, bars, and attractions. The dining experience offered a good selection of food, catering to special dietary requirements. Noise from the street could be a concern for some due to the central location but soundproofing was adequate.
