A very mixed bag! On the one hand everything is new and clean and the location is absolutely amazing. Staff are welcoming and friendly. That’s the good bits.
The bad part is nothing was really explained to me about the facilities there- for example the wristbands and how they’re used to purchase things. They’re loaded with “credit” which I mistakenly thought was credit to purchase tea and coffee but you do have to pay for them. The machine didn’t work and I was charged for about five drinks I never had but I was in a rush checking out so had to leave it. I also wasn’t told about how to get to the hot tub on the roof so sadly I never got to use that.
The bedding was stained when I got there, weirdly the staff member told me they weren’t “allowed” to change the sheets so I was given some clean sheets and had to battle changing the bed in a tiny space- not ideal. The one hairdryer in the bathrooms also didn’t work fully so that’s why the services rating is low.

The room and bed are both tiny, almost like a narrow daybed as some have pointed out. On the plus side, the bed itself was quite comfortable. Cleanliness was mediocre; I even found hairs on the bed. The bathroom sink is poorly designed; you can barely wash your hands, let alone your face, as your head gets stuck against the glass shelf above it. Considering the prices in Iceland, it's relatively cheap, and it's okay for just one night if you're on a budget. There's a bus stop conveniently located right outside, and the airport shuttle drops you off directly at the entrance.
Conveniently located at the entrance to Reykjavik.
Second-floor room with no elevator.
The room was spacious and had a bathtub, making this the only place we stayed after seven nights in Iceland.
Even luxury hotels didn't have bathtubs.
My husband was delighted with his first bath after driving about 2,000 kilometers.
The bathroom and washroom had poor drainage, so water overflowed from somewhere and flooded the entire place.
The room wasn't particularly clean, but
it's a good option as a hotel to stay before entering (or leaving) Reykjavik.
There are restaurants nearby, like KFC and Sabue.
There was no hair dryer in the room, but I think you could borrow one from the front desk if you needed one.
We realized this in the morning and had to go down to the front desk to borrow one.
Breakfast was minimal.
No hot meals.
Also, the serving area was small and crowded.
Nothing particularly noteworthy, but overall it was an average hotel.
By average, I don't mean badly; it wasn't the best, but it was passable.
I hope this review is helpful.

All good. Service level excellent. Perhaps just need to have more amenities like vanity kit, essential items like bathroom slippers in the room rather than we request for it at the front desk. Otherwise all good.
The location is really good, with a bus stop nearby. Accommodations in Iceland are generally quite small, but thankfully, this one was clean and tidy. It's also quite close to attractions in Reykjavik. You can store your luggage, the front desk service was polite, and breakfast was Western style.
friendly staff,the sauna and hot tub were clean and nice。。。。our room was perfect, but if you are picky with drinking water, bring your own to the room。the water from the tab is drinkable, but has a lot of sulfur in it and smells this way。
the breakfast was very good, different coffee, waffles, bread, porridge,fruits,。。。。

This hotel was the most satisfying I stayed at in Iceland. The overall cleanliness was up to standard, and it even had a bathtub. The staff were enthusiastic, and the breakfast was rich and varied. The biggest advantage is that Bus Stop 12 is right outside the door. If you're in Iceland and not doing a multi-day tour, but rather booking different day tours daily, Bus Stop 12 is a station all buses can reach, which is incredibly convenient! Highly recommended.
The location is convenient. There is a Xiaozhu supermarket downstairs. It is close to bus stop No. 9, which is convenient for local tour groups to gather and pick up. The room is clean. The counter staff provides early check-in service, but the room lighting is a little dim.
We were really happy with our stay at this hotel.
The room size and the beds comfortable. The location was quiet and was perfect for us to walk around the main areas. Location was also great for the buses.
Breakfast was fantastic.
Would definitely stay here again.
Very Good

GGuest UserKEX Hostel in Reykjavík is a great place to stay, especially for budget travelers and friends exploring the city together. The location is excellent, right in the city center and close to the seaside, making it easy to walk to major attractions, restaurants, and shops. The hostel has a unique, social atmosphere with a lively common area and bar, which is perfect for meeting other travelers. Rooms and facilities are generally clean and functional, though they can feel a bit basic and sometimes noisy due to the hostel’s popular and central setting. A special highlight of your stay is being able to see the northern lights from outside the hostel, which is a memorable experience and shows how good the location is near the waterfront. Overall, KEX offers good value, a fun vibe, and a prime location for enjoying Reykjavík.
KKEVINLEEWhile not in the absolute city center, the hotel's facilities, breakfast, and service are all excellent. Getting around is easy: there are several bus routes directly across the street that go downtown. For airport transfers, the Flybus service connects to a shuttle that drops you off right at the hotel. Good day tours and island excursions also provide convenient pick-up and drop-off from the lobby. A majority of the guests are American, and the restaurant primarily offers Western dishes.
GGuest UserLocation was right in the centre of town, in front of a popular taxi stand where many party-goers gather before heading home, so it gets REALLY noisy on friday/saturday nights. I usually fall asleep easily but the noise was keeping me up. Bring earplugs if you intend to stay here. Otherwise the location was really accessible, walking distance to bus stop 1 where the flybus from the airport would drop off, and many tours pick you up from there as well. Sunday night was actually pretty peaceful so maybe just stay there on sundays-thursdays. Room was also decent and clean. A bit small for longer stays but good for a couple of nights.
ZZaynetzyTo my surprise, the time to access the locker is only from 9am onwards!!! (only when the staff is at the reception).
My plan was to put my luggage into the locker and I have to catch a morning bus at 7am the next day!! Next time please design the lockers in a way such that it is accessible 24/7 😅😅
Anyways, I still figured out a way - which is to walk to the bus terminal to leave my luggage at the lockers. Attaching a photo of the daylight at 12am 😊
HhalfdotzThe hotel is very cosy and the staff are very attentive to our needs. We have stayed there for honeymoon and they gave us complimentary upgrades of room with free wine and chocolate which is pleasant surprise too. The hotel is also central located. There is also free access to gym, sauna and outdoor hotspring too.
Greatly recommended
MManyoufuguangThe room facilities are very comprehensive; you can make breakfast and simple meals. They provide complimentary milk, juice, and cereal, as well as salt, pepper, and oil.
I stayed for about a week, and milk and juice were restocked occasionally, but I couldn't figure out the pattern. Sometimes, even after I finished them, they weren't refilled.
The room is on the top floor, and some areas have low ceilings. You need to be careful, especially when showering, as you might hit your head.
The location is very convenient. You can walk to the cathedral, bus stop 6, Piggly Wiggly supermarket, and various restaurants.
Regarding service, one of the front desk staff, a shorter male with dark hair, provided mediocre service. However, the taller male with light hair was excellent and even offered to help with my luggage.

CChristiaan WillemI had booked a solo room. This is fine. It is small but you know that in advance. Friendly staff. Nice bar on floor 8. Walk straight into the center.
