Chose Cabin for our last night in Iceland, primarily because of the shuttle bus to the airport, but I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival. The front desk staff made check-in a breeze, and they even used a translation app on their phone if there were any English communication difficulties. Although the room was small, it was very cozy. The location is also fantastic, right by the sea, just 100 meters away. It's only a 10-15 minute walk to popular areas like the church and Rainbow Street. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets conveniently located nearby. Thumbs up! 👍

Extremely affordable hotel in reykjavik with a convenient carpark. Unfortunately the room wasn't very big and had no kettle. There is a very convenient kronan walking distance from the hotel.

Location is good have supermarket nearby.

The biggest plus of this hotel is its direct access to the airport bus. It's also quite convenient, about a 10-minute walk to the bus stop for all day tours. Across the street, there's a public bus that goes directly to Rainbow Street, the Cathedral, and other places, costing around 38 RMB (about 38RMB by credit card) per ride. Just a 5-minute walk to the left from the hotel entrance, there's a fairly large supermarket where you can buy bread, sandwiches, fruits, yogurt, etc.
However, I really have to complain about the hotel rooms. The bathroom being small is one thing, but in the twin room, there wasn't even enough space for two suitcases. If we managed to open a suitcase, there was absolutely no room to walk. What's more, we had booked five consecutive nights and pre-paid the room fees through Trip.com. But on the third day of our stay, the hotel informed us they received a government tax adjustment notice and showed us a piece of paper, demanding we pay an additional tax. We were forced to pay an extra 27.5 euros, which is absolutely unreasonable!!

Great location. clean room. perfect for couples.

This place is great! You can take the airport shuttle directly to the hotel, and tour groups pick up right from here too. It's close to the beach, and you only have to walk about 500 meters to see the Northern Lights!!!

For this price, I really can't complain, it was great! Excellent value for money. I happened to be there on September 22nd, which was a free bus day in Reichenau. At this price, other hotels only offer dorm beds or guesthouses with shared bathrooms. They also offer luggage storage and 24-hour check-in.

The room and bed are both tiny, almost like a narrow daybed as some have pointed out. On the plus side, the bed itself was quite comfortable. Cleanliness was mediocre; I even found hairs on the bed. The bathroom sink is poorly designed; you can barely wash your hands, let alone your face, as your head gets stuck against the glass shelf above it. Considering the prices in Iceland, it's relatively cheap, and it's okay for just one night if you're on a budget. There's a bus stop conveniently located right outside, and the airport shuttle drops you off directly at the entrance.

The room was a bit cramped, only fitting two beds. The beds were clean and tidy, and it was very quiet. The bathroom only had a shower, and the setup made it quite easy to get your hair wet. The biggest convenience was the free parking.
03.09.2025
I booked this for my family. While the room wasn't particularly spacious, it's a great option for travelers needing to catch an early flight. It's reasonably priced, and the airport shuttle bus makes getting to the airport incredibly convenient!

Decent, reasonably priced when compared to other food in Reykjavik.
This was not surprising, the food was predictable, and offered no local cuisine, but one can appreciate free soft drink refills after visiting some of the other choices in the city.

This fish market, which sells fresh and ready to cook Icelandic fish, also serves lunch. You get a choice of two of three fish entrees prepared that day, such as Ling in Moroccan Spices, with roasted potatoes and salad, plus a cold crab salad, bread, and coffee.
Seating is at counters or tables in the back of the market. We loved the food so much we're going back on Monday for the seafood soup, prepared from the same recipe for the past 10 years, we were told by fans of the place.

If you are staying at a place with a kitchen you should visit Fylgifiskar where you can buy variety of fresh fish ready for the oven or the pan. Also a variety of salad and some great sups. All ready for a cooking. You can also dine at the restaurant. A good option for those in the district of Laugardalur and the district of Hlíðar in Reykjavík.

Great service & amazing food! Free wifi too. You don't need extra chilli. Three step menu that's easy to navigate. We paid about euro 30 for our two bowls of mix and match. Must-try.
