Very cool hotel with rooms above a very quiet cafe lounge, the owner Yost was very accommodating in allowing me an early check-in and the room had a sleek decor and a convenient kitchenette setup. I really enjoyed my 3 night stay here and it was conveniently placed within driving distance of many major attractions, but also in a quiet area that allowed me to feel safe and free of disturbance. The view of Perlan Museum from out the window of my room was very cool. Personally the check-in and check-out process was very easy and I would recommend this hotel to anybody looking for a cool vibe while visiting Reykjavík.

Stay was good to be fair to the hotel. Check in was weird as we arrived on a Sunday and there were no staff, we didn't know there was a self-check in process and so were quite lost for a while. Also we have a young child and the garage just behind the hotel work past his bed time so was a bit noisy for him.
That said, the beds were comfy, parking was easy, the area was nice (a short walk to botanical gardens) and staff were friendly and helpful.

We’ll appointed kitchenette
Small apartment, Although compact we had a small well appointed kitchenette which was kitted out very practically (washing up liquid, sponge, cloth, tea towel, dishwasher tablets). Other reviews have pointed out the lack of storage. But it was comfortable enough

Overall is not good
- no staff in the reception and lobby at all, but it is not an auto self-service hotel
- did not receive any e-mails about how to do the self-check in and the password to enter the building
- has a restaurant but no staff to cook
- bed linen was dirty, stick with hairs and not comfortable
- location is not good, very few restaurants and no supermarkets/convenient stores nearby

Clean. Located a little farther from the touristy parts of town than other hotels, but is right next to Braud&Co (bakery for breakfast) and botanical gardens. It is only a 20min walk from all the restaurants. It was also a bonus to have a kitchenette for those days when we returned by bus from Thorsmork and Landmannalaugar and were too tired and too late for restaurants.

Comfortable and convenient
We had a really enjoyable stay. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed (but a bigger French press would be great!). There were a couple of issues with the shower rail and hanging rail in the room which we mentioned to the manager. Parking was convenient. Would recommend to others.

Really spacious and modern room, with stove top and oven was very cool touch. One thing though the shower glass panel isn't sealed properly at the bottom so water leaks out into the main bathroom floor. Other than that the room was very nice. Would stay again

Really liked the bunk bed as we were traveling with our six yr old son. The bathroom lacked a shelf in the shower, was a bit small and didn’t provide hair conditioner, which would have been nice. Otherwise it really suited our needs. Easy quick drive to downtown Reykjavík. The staff were helpful.
