My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean and comfy with a spectacular view, and the staff was extremely friendly. The location was ideal, very close to the city center. The dining experience, however, could use some improvement as the options were limited. Overall, a great value for money!

I had a fabulous time at this hotel! The rooms offered a spectacular view, were spacious, and had multiple beds, though I found the bathroom to be conveniently located just in front. The service at the reception desk was top-notch with a diligent staff member always available, and the laundry service was a big plus. The location was perfect, right in the city center with easy access to shopping options. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the hot wok dishes served. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of my stay.

My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious and modern, offering a spectacular view of the mountains. The staff was very attentive and friendly. However, the lack of dining options was disappointing. The location, just outside the city center, was convenient for exploring.

The hostel offers a convenient location right in the city center and close to the main street in downtown Reykjavik. The rooms are equipped with small lockers in the normal bunk beds, with the upper beds facing the bathrooms. The service includes a staff member available after hours at the reception desk and laundry facilities. The dining experience includes gyudon dishes while the hostel is surrounded by car dealerships and located on a busy street. It's near bus stops, ensuring prompt transportation, but lacks ideal privacy due to the bunk bed setup.

The hostel boasts rooms with a spectacular view and numerous beds, but the layout just in front of the bathroom could be inconvenient. The service is efficient, especially at the reception desk, and having staff members available after hours adds an extra layer of convenience. The location is superb, being exactly in the city center on the main street, providing easy access to places of interest. The dining options, including homemade soups, enhance the overall experience. However, the pricing might not fully reflect the value for money, signaling room for improvement in that aspect.

The hostel has a spectacular view, but the bunk bed with 18 beds in the room was not ideal. The staff at the reception desk was helpful and available after hours, but laundry service was lacking. The location is just on the outskirts of the city center, which could be convenient for some. The seafood dining offered was delightful. The facilities were basic but functional.
