Hotel dengan Pengambilan dari hotel di Reykjavik

We stayed for the last 2 nights of our week in Iceland and were pleasantly surprised at the amount of space - 2 separate bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen/diner - which made the stay more relaxing for the 4 of us. The views from the balcony to the waterside/mountains were great and it was an easy walk to the main streets/church/viking ship sculpture. We weren't after a 5 star experience so the relaxed nature of this hotel, plus Dominos pizzas from over the road really hit the spot!

The place itself is really nice, it’s a 1 bedroom studio, basically it’s an apartment in the downtown area. Perfect location. You have to check in at a hotel up the road about two minutes, but that’s the only thing I didn’t like. Other than that, great place, and also had a fully functional kitchen if you wanna cook a night or two at home.

A good little hostel with the front staff being very friendly. This hostel is not at BSI bus station which is where fly bus airport transfers arrive and depart. It is a 15 minute walk from BSI bus station, but there are many tour buses that stop here. The kitchen and bathrooms were always very clean and you could see someone always mopping or cleaning. The room was very hot so pack light Pyjamas. Also there are no women only dorms!!! I thought I was booking a women only dormitory but men were in there too. One man had booked a man only dorm but obviously they don't have this either. The website and the trip.com descriptions clearly need udpating.

This hotel had such a lovely “feel” to it. Staff were lovely, homemade cake every afternoon and tea and coffee from 12 midday to 1am… perfect if you’ve been out looking for the Northern lights or whales! Hotel had a car park. Breakfast was lovely rye breads, jams, boiled eggs, yoghurt’s, muesli, granola ( with loads of toppings to add) cheese, cold meats etc.

The included breakfast was absolutely amazing. The all you can eat spread contained every breakfast food I can think of -- all prepared to perfection by Chef Alex who is a breakfast artist. All the standards: eggs, bacon, pancakes, potatoes, cereal, etc, etc. Yet, also included a next level fresh fruit and yogurt bar that even had mangos and some delicious fruit I was previously unfamiliar with. Pastries, breads, breakfast meats, cheeses I have never heard of... a chocolate filled croissant that my wife fell in love with. Juices, coffees, lemon water... Honestly, if I listed all of the deliciousness I would hit a character limit... The real kicker though was how it fueled us for some long adventure filled days. Truly made a big difference -- left us energized and ready to roll. BIG thanks to Sabina, Kariena, and Chef Alex for top-notch everything!!! Best breakfast I have ever had... Truth.

The hotel was nice and in a good location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a lot about the hotel experience that I did not like. First, get real room door card keys. The electronic insert key was ridiculous. In a country with a lot of day travel and changing of clothing layers, the key was a hassle to manage and simply not a good concept. Checked into the room, and the mini refrigerator did not work. It was stocked with warm beers, cocktails, and drinks. I expect this to be found in a pre check in room check. I left a note and it was replaced when I returned. I admit, I did not need the mini fridge and did not expect one, but with there being one, I feel this is sloppy room readiness. Although I had the top room type for the hotel, I did not like the bathroom design. Toilet was behind a translucent glass door by the sink and shower open to the room. I prefer doors and not being able to see the figure of someone in the toilet. Finally, I don’t take parking as a given. The hotel has 5 spaces marked for hotel only. I was given a car park sign for the hotel. Did not expect spaces to always be available. When I checked in, the staff swore there should be a spot, but two cars were illegally parked with no hotel pass. Same happened two more days after day trips. Working this after I paid for parking does not help me. If the hotel is going to have designated and clearly posted spots for guest, monitor and enforce them. One evening the hotel van was even using a space, but the other spots were valid hotel guests. But I should not need to bring license plate pictures for the hotel to enforce their parking. Finally, I was surprised there was not even a small heating pot for water to make instant coffee in the room or coffee for guests in the lobby or bar. Just coffee with the full continental breakfast (which I had better breakfast for less price outside the hotel). I think the hotel used the “designer” concept too much and forgot about guest experience. It is in the Marriott offering, but I would sacrifice location for a better overall guest experience.

Absolutely 5 star experience! Hotel mamma (local Icelandic) is the sweetest and most warm hearted person I met in a long time. She clearly loved to nurture and care for her guests. We got bumped up and had a suite for 3 days. Such a beautiful ambient atmosphere. The best home smoked salmon for breakfast and pukka tea! Simply a place full of love. I will come back any time

Room 101 was hardly up to my expections. the room was 4 square meters ( found out later) but it is a room of about 2 meters wide and 3,5 meter long but the wall was diagonal so it was a strange, small room With no table no wardrobe . So no room for my suitecase or my close. So 7 days of living out of my suitcase and no place to leave my suitcase open. Alone some walking space by the bed. I thought there was no cleaningserves because but to my surprice the 6th day i got new bedlinnen and towels. (that was something good but not on the last night :-) So i would recommend not to rent room 101 its not worth it (in my opinion) Also the pictures of the room are looking good but don't let you see the real layout of the room. But Reykjavik and Iceland made it a wunderfull experience afterall.

Check-in was pretty smooth. I was allocated the room just above the main entrance as such, it can be quite noisy whenever people get in or out of the hostel with the door slamming and some vibration felt! The bathroom and wc are fairly clean and tidy. Very cosy common area to mingle and make new friends. Kitchen has all the basic necessity. I especially like the small area right outside my room where i can have a light meal and nice view of the surroundings. Bought the unlimited bus rides ticket via the Klappid app for travel within the Reykjavik capital city and bus svc 12 is just few steps away. If time permits, you can even walk to the coastal area for sight-seeing. Overall, i am very satisfied with my 8 nights stay at Laekur hostel!

We booked a stay at Alfred Studios but had to cancel our reservation due to changes in our travel plans. The cancellation process through a third party did not go as expected, and I was in a very stressful situation, thinking I would have to pay thousands of dollars for a stay we were not going to complete. The owners of Alfred Studios worked with me--they were very gracious in allowing me to cancel without fees, even though they are a small family business and had to risk not renting the three rooms I had booked with them for the week stay. They are a true example of what those in the service industry should be. I will definitely stay with them when future travel brings me to Iceland and highly recommend their property to anyone looking to book a stay.
