    Only small downside was that the toilet and sink are really close together with the sink having a handrail underneath so a very small space to manoeuvre about.

    R13 was a great stay, just a short drive to reykjavik centre. Self check in was super easy. Very clean & had everything needed for a great stay. Kitchen amenities were plenty. Beds were comfy. Beautiful views too.

    This was our second time staying at this hotel. Have no complaints - if you're looking for somewhere comfortable, within easy reach of the city centre, with free parking, then this is a good choice. I will most likely stay here again.

    location

    It's hard to find a hotel at first, but after that you can easily check in and check out. Ideally, there is no need to contact the staff. It is a little far from the center, you should notice that. But you can always use a scooter. Anyway, It was really good place to stay for a few nights.

    A few things were messy and/or needing repairs/cleaning. This should be noticed by staff before guests check in. At first glance things look good, but upon closer examination it could be better. Greater attention to detail in the rooms is needed.

    Great shower, comfy bed and the kitchenette was nice to have. Staff was responsive when a request was made which was appreciated. My family enjoyed it.

    Bit too far out of the centre although we walked every time. A bit shabby in places. Eerie reception music on, keep expecting to see some staff there but you only see cleaning staff each morning on your corridor. Marie Celeste vibes!

    Kitchenette, extremely comfortable bed, coffee provided, outstanding shower! Could park right outside too!!

    Some won’t like the fact that you are not in the downtown district but it is a quick bus ride or 40 min walk to get there. I have to say that the self check in was a different experience. You punch your code in to the right of the entrance door and you walk in to a very cool looking bar and lounge that is completely devoid of people. I’m here at off season though so that might explain it. You go to the bar and punch in your own key and away you go. In fact I did not see another person on my stay. If this means the price stays low at what is a fantastic place then I’m good with that.

    I had to be in this area for some work and booked one night here. I had little expectation that this would be any good as it was quite cheap for the Reykjavik district. What I found was a fantastic boutique hotel that has amazing rooms and is very clean. Nearby are a number of decent restaurants within a 5 minute walk.

    The check in process was complicated and no one was on site to help. The window was broken in our room and it was freezing cold when we got there.

    This place was nice, good for a night. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very nice.

    The appliances were a bit confusing - the dishwasher continued to loudly beep intermittently all night, and we could not work out how to turn it off. This kept waking us up, which was very frustrating. Equally, the hob kept locking itself, and took quite a while to figure out how to unlock it.

    Good size and quality of room, has parking, and has a good kitchenette.

    The hotel was only accessible by car - but so is Iceland in general. There were some struggles with the self check-in. No staff is present on the property.

    The room was surprisingly big, even included a kitchen. Clean bathroom. Quite a unique style.
