One of the worst hotels I've ever picked. No reception counter. Tiny room. No amenities at all... Sigh!

位置離大教堂走路約十分鐘，離巴士車站也差不多同樣距離，冬天拖行李的話應該不太好走，需要上下坡。衞生不好，床上還有之前房客的頭髮，浴室也沒打掃乾淨，水漬很明顯。

The garage was converted and it was OK;
The bath water smelled of sulfur, please do not disturb if you mind;
No service, but it was worth the price. Overall, it was OK and worth staying in, and the room rate was cheap.

The room is seriously different from the picture, not cost-effective at all, the room is very small! Check out early and no refund! I am speechless

No slippers, toothbrush, toothpaste, including shampoo, laundry detergent, shower gel, etc.
Check-out is very convenient, just leave the key in the lock on the door, no need to inform anyone
Staff is not on duty 24 hours a day, and may not be in the hotel, you can contact by phone if necessary; they will come to the room to clean up around 3 pm local time every day
The location is very convenient, no more than 5 minutes walk to the city center, there are souvenir shops, daily necessities stores, restaurants, etc. nearby

The location is ideal in the middle of an affluent residential area (a lot of embassies around, for example), just a short walk from the main shopping street. The building itself is also really classy. Staff was friendly and our room downstairs was big and bright, although the corridor to the room was a bit cramped. The room was mostly clean, only some dust balls under the bed... We had a room with a bathroom and I have to say that the bathtube really needs a shower curtain! Also the sink was ancient and unpractical with own taps for hot (read: too hot) and cold water. Breakfast wasn't special in any way, just some toasts, fruits, cereals etc. I would say that with the same price you can get better breakfast and better bathroom in other parts of Iceland, but hey, it's just five minutes walk to the centre of the capital from this place...
