Wonderful property, great location for exploring Reykjavik on foot. Felt like we were right in the middle of everything. Room had a full kitchen including a freezer, lots of space, very clean. Hotel staff was super helpful and kind. Free laundry which is great if you get rained on or bit dirty hiking. Definitely recommend!

I’ll start with the check in staff. They were so kind and helpful when we arrived that it put most of any anxiety we had when we got to the city to rest due to the ease with which they acclimated us into our stay and offered plenty of helpful tips (most notably parking) to navigate Reykjavík. We absolutely adored this property. It was a studio apartment style setup with some comforts of home, most notably the kitchenette set up with sink, dishes, dishwasher, microwave and electric stovetop if you prefer to dine in while visiting. There was a small grocery store right around the corner with mostly anything you’d need to cook in your room or stock up for any adventures that you would be getting into outside of the city. We spent most of our time exploring the island but having a comfortable place to call home when we returned to in the evenings was such a pleasant feeling each day. Thank you so much for everything and we would love to return for a future visit and stay with this property. Keep up the great work!!

Think twice about staying here

I would not stay here again. It was not made clear that this hotel has several buildings. Depending on the room you reserve, you can be staying in a building blocks away from reception. We checked in at one building and stayed in another building about 3-4 blocks away. First, the street was blocked off so we had to walk (with our bags) up a hill just to check in. Then when we found out we were staying in another building, there was no help with our bags. We were told to go on our own. Had I known this, I would have planned better. I would have checked in and had the taxi drop off the rest of the group and our bags at the building we were actually staying at. Then when we had to check out, we needed to leave our bags because we were going on a tour. There is a room in our building that clearly states "luggage storage." We spoke to a lady who worked there who told us about it the night before and said all we had to do was call and someone would come to give us access to the room. When we called the front desk, the man who answered said there was no such room and we'd have to bring our bags on our own to the front desk. After some persistence, the man finally sent someone to give us access to the room in our building. While all the female workers we encountered were very helpful, I cannot say the same about the men. This place was great in terms of location but the poor service we received and the fact our building was far from reception did not make this stay worth it.

Stayed in a 2 bed-2 bath apartment in the old Printing Press Building. The building where the hotel reception desk is located was about 2 blocks from the building we stayed in. Easily walkable via sidewalks w/ suitcases when room was available. Arrived from airport before 9am. Reception stored our bags and we headed out to explore Reykjavik expecting our room around 3pm (check-in time). To our surprise, our room was ready before 1pm! The reception desk staff were excellent, helpful and friendly both at check-in and check-out. They also stored our bags at check-out (11am). We didn't leave for the airport until 1:30pm for our 4:50pm flight. The hotel staff were super helpful and friendly. Can't say that enough! We paid for r/t transportation via the hotel for 4 adults with 4 large suitcases and carry-ons. Everything went like clockwork! We ordered the breakfast basket on the first morning and the last morning. The basket from the first morning was enough that we ate items from it the next two mornings before our tours! Bread was SO GOOD! We had a coffee machine with various coffee pods and hot chocolate that was refilled every day. Used a lot of them and never ran out! Previous posts/photos we reviewed before staying here showed washers/dryers in the apartments. Not in ours... but NOT a problem as free washers/dryers are down on the 1st floor. Hotel is awesome, central to everything, walked everywhere easily! Used Bus Stop 6 for ALL our tours. Short 8-10 min walk to Stop 6!

Have stayed in this property before. It is not one property but actually a series of buildings. The room we stayed in in the past was nice. This time, the space was tiny, the area was incredibly noisy and there were lights outside the room that were on all night. It was annoying. Had I known we would be staying on this building, I would have NEVER booked it. Totally disappointing for the price. I could have stayed at one of the nicer hotels in Reykjavik for the same price.

Everyone was so helpful upon our arrival! A big thank you goes out to Cassandra! She was absolutely amazing! From the minute we arrived, Cassandra came out to direct us on where to park and where our residence was located. She was kind, considerate, and very professional! Later in the evening we spoke with Mikkel, he answered our questions thoroughly and was extremely helpful. Thank you so much for making our stay phenomenal!
