Lyns, Rekyjavic

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The room was ok, very basic (one pillow? Really?), but at least it was warm. The hostel was very very noisy, lots of partying downstairs, from the owners/managers of the hostel, not the people staying! I got minimal sleep last night. Free wifi was great, location great too. Shower facilities needs a massive makeover, old, grimy, cold.

Seemed nice overall - but technical issues
Had a late arrival and was still greeted no issue. Only had one night and an early morning shuttle so did not have opportunity to follow up on the two issues. Unfortunately never got the key to work in the door and never found a towel to shower in the morning. Did find face cloths so managed a basic cleaning.

Service - The man that helped us was very vice. We accidentally went to the wrong accommodation (we were staying at a different place the day before our tour and at Egilsborg Guesthouse the day after our tour). He was kind enough to drive us to our correct accommodation and was not angry at all about our mistake. Location - Great. Walkable distance to the city. Facilities - I have stayed at various places around the world that have had shared bathrooms, including Barcelona, London, Berlin and Reykjavik. This was by far the cleanest, well-lit, well-kept and well-stocked shared bathroom of all the places I have been to, probably even better than some 4-4.5 star hotels. Overall, fantastic for a short term stay before or after a tour around Iceland :)

Hotel doesn’t provide correct information about check in. Staff Proceeded to write a very mean message to us after we simply tried to call to ensure our lastmin booking was still valid (provided incorrect phone numbers on expedia and Checkin details). If last min booking allowed on Expedia then the Checkin process must reflect this.

Good deal
This place is perfect for a budget traveler or backpacker. The owners, a married couple, were friendly and helpful. I found the room comfortable & warm, about a 10 minute walk from shops & attractions. I would certainly stay here again.

Cosy comfort.
In the city centre, easy access to major attractions, home away from home.
