Hotel 2 Bintang di Reykjavik

The location is very good, it’s very close to the city center, sightseeings and the bus station (flybus to the airport). Good fully equipped kitchen, you really can cook everything here. Nice living room zone with big dining table. My shared room was a bit too small for 6 people, not enough place to open the big travel bag. The bed was too small, there is no individual lamp and socket next to the bed. The price was good, during the high season it was really big luck to book this place for such a small price. I can recommend this place!

I'm usually not a person who writes reviews , but I truly feel that Freyja Guesthouse deserves a review. Let's start with something that truly impressed me about our experience at Freyja. It a rarity in today's world that you will find more accommodating, helpful, and people willing to go above and beyond for their guests. Let me explain. While many hotels will hold your luggage for you, they waited for and delivered to our room luggage that had been left in Boston so that we could enjoy a worry free Golden Circle tour. That's nothing compared to what truly impressed me about our visit. While on that tour my wife injured herself requiring medical attention the next morning. They helped us figure out where to go, offered a ride there, brought our luggage to the hospital, and then dropped us off at the cruise port so we could make our embarkation. If you're looking for a Bed and Breakfast type of accommodation give them a try they will impress you as they did me. Time for a little about the overall accommodations. The rooms although smaller are comfortable and some have shared bathrooms, it's not a big deal really you get used to it. There's also a shared kitchen on each floor with a coffee machine, refrigerator, and microwave. So if you're looking for great hosts with a unique accommodation please give them a try you won't regret it.

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!

Great hotel for location. Only 5-10mins away from Hallgrimskirkja (Modern Cathedral) which is a great reference point. Only 10 mins walk into the central area of Reykjavik. 2 mins drive to one of the main highways (No. 49). I stayed in Room 7 located in the loft, which was very spacious, comfortable, clean and warm. I only required a single room and was given a room with 3 single beds, so worth noting for a small group. There was a sink in the room. The shared shower room was next door which again was very clean and tidy. Breakfast was included in my deal which was a standard continental selection. Ideal for making up a cheeky little sarnie for when out and about. Most importantly, the two hosts were very polite, happy and welcoming. Overall, Ideal hotel for a short stay 😁.

I stayed in Aurora Guesthouse for a week. I had room for one (shared bathroom). The room was small but nice. Very comfortable bed, blanket and pillow! Tasty breakfest and helpful and friendly staff. Location is perfect! You have to share bathroom with other visitors and You can hear people while they're walking by on the street but that's fine while staying in the center of this amazing small city called Reykjavík! Felt like home to me after first night and next time would be happy to stay there again!

Good room at a reasonable price. It is a short walk to downtown and the staff was friendly and helpful. I will be staying here again before I fly out of the country.

Kex… Ugh such a frustrating review to write. I really wanted to like the Kex hostel it has its good points, but overall was the worst hostel stay I have had in Iceland. I’ll give you my very detailed opinion. The Bad… -Lacking in the toilet paper department!!! We were on floor 4 there were several private bathrooms with showers and also separate locker room style bathrooms. At 7:30 AM I ran to the bathroom after finishing my business realized there was no TP! Ugh. Anyway afterwards I looked through the different open stalls with toilets. Only 3 toilets on the whole 4th floor had TP! To me having adequate TP is an essential thing. The bathrooms weren’t restocked until 10AM ish. And we aren’t even in peak tourist season. We mentioned the issue to the staff and they said “just call next time you need something” kinda hard to “just call” when you have already done your business in the bathroom and you need something to wipe with! They need to have staff check the bathrooms more frequently. -The kitchen is sad in the “equipment” department. One of the reasons we stay at hostels is to cook our own food. Maybe they are trying to push buying food from their restaurant. I get that they get a lot of traffic. But the cooking pan selection is -Terrible- nasty old pans that the thrift shop would discard. Janky handles, and interior coating mega gouged out. Don’t come here expecting to cook at least on level 4. -No way to make coffee!!! Again they probably want you to pay for their breakfast. But there is no option to make coffee. No coffee pot, machine, or way to make a filter pour over etc. Don’t bring coffee grounds expecting to make your morning brew. There was an electric kettle, but again no way to make coffee unless you brought instant. -The showers need a good bleach and scrub. The walls had black mold growing on them. Considering the fact that Kex was our most expensive hostel in Iceland (we paid 20,906 for a private double, with linens, and shared bathrooms…or $153 US) compare Kex to the Svjarborg in Stykkisholmer $90 US or Halfdan HI Hostel $63 US ( in both we had a private double & shared bath) but both were awesome and had a fully equipped kitchen with decent quality pots, options to make coffee, and plenty of toilet paper. I understand that being in the city we can expect to pay more. BUT I expect that price to include: -enough toilet paper -a means to make coffee -decent cookware. The good… -The location is great. Easy walking distance to the main shops/streets. And the ocean right across the highway. -Awesome “vibe” cool decor, lots of couches/lounge areas. -Entertaining/Social. In the evening there was group song trivia in the main area, and in another a live band. -Our room a private double with shared bathroom was large, and we slept well. (Note: I have never stayed in a “quiet” hostel so I always travel with a sleep soundtrack on my phone and a melatonin) -The staff was all polite In conclusion, I have traveled on 4 contine

Unfortunately, before we had even arrived I had contacted the owners to find out if towels were included in our stay and we never received a response. Upon entering the triple studio apartment, we noticed paint/concrete flaking from the wall and one of us even had to put a blanket above the bunk bed to stop debris from falling onto the bed. The property is described as including toiletries and tea and coffee but there was no tea bags and the amount of instant coffee in the container was barely enough for one day. The toiletries were what looked to be shower gel that had been left behind by the previous visitors. When searching for your standard shampoo and conditioner that we're expected to be on display, we found two empty alcohol bottles full of cigarette butt's inside them and bottle tops left inside one of the bed side tables. This suggests that the apartment is rarely cleaned. There was an awful smell of egg/faeces when using the shower and there was no where near enough toilet roll for 3 people for 3/4 days. We understood that the accommodation was described as a guesthouse, however, despite the fact that there was a 'no noise after midnight' policy - the people staying in the otherside of the guesthouse were noisy and shouting all through the night and playing loud music which meant we could not fully enjoy our plans the following day. Overall, we would not stay here again and do not recommend the guesthouse if you want a clean and tidy stay. We decided it would be worth spending extra money next time for a comfortable, reassuring stay somewhere else inside the city.
