“This aparthotel strikes me as a practical choice for independent travelers in Reykjavik. Each unit includes a well-equipped kitchenette and self check-in, alongside the advantage of on-site parking, which are valuable assets in the city. While the rooms might be compact, the location near attractions and functional amenities make it a solid base for exploring.”

convenient locationprivate parkingcomfortable bedsmall roomground floorhot room

The hotel had a very convenient location and private parking (a big plus!). The bed was comfortable, and cleanliness was at a high standard. We received a discount at a nearby bakery, that offered a fast option for breakfast.

The room I booked was very small and cramped. It did not look like the photos online. Our room was on the ground floor, and the window faced the pavement. We had to keep the window and curtains closed, so the room became too hot.

the location provides a great base for exploring. the kitchenette has everything you might need. usb charging switches was convenient for my devices.

the blinds let in a lot of light. it makes sleeping difficult in summer with the 24 hour daylight. there were a lot of noises from other people's doors slamming. the room felt warm when sleeping and just one small window was opened.

great channelsexcellent kitchenettelittle storagepoor cleaning

the location worked great for getting around the area. there is also a kitchenette that includes everything necessary. i could easily prepare my own meals. the tv includes great channels plus a chromecast. i was able to cast my own netflix shows.

the room had very little storage. staying longer than one night would be difficult with two people because of this, i think. also, i noticed cleaning was not very thorough. they only came in once and seemed to just change towels and fold the bed cover.
