In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Excellent central location — A short walk from Hallgrimskirkja, the old town, and the main bus stop, with many restaurants nearby.
- Free on-site parking — Free parking is available, a real advantage in central Reykjavik where street parking can be scarce.

- Shared kitchen and practical amenities — A well-equipped shared kitchen, free Wi-Fi, and TVs with Netflix are appreciated by families and self-catering travellers.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Basic rooms, small scale — With only 10 rooms and modest furnishings (no air conditioning, limited in-room amenities), it may not suit those wanting full-service comfort.
- Value can vary — The price-to-service balance is rated 7/10, and some guests felt the experience didn't fully match the cost.
- Limited dining on-site — There's no restaurant or breakfast service, so guests need to use the shared kitchen or head out to nearby eateries.

7.6Verified guest“The entire staff was wonderful and went out of their way to help.”
7.6Verified guest“Nothing was too much trouble – I'd strongly recommend it. They made our last night of a week-long Iceland trip very comfortable. The staff is welcoming and exceptionally nice, and you can park right nearby. The location is great, minutes from a Lutheran parish church, in a nice area close to Perlan and the historic tourist district.”
