“What strikes me most is its prime location near Hallgrímskirkja church and the BSI bus station, handy for airport transfers. I think it's a practical base for exploring the city on foot, and it seems clean and well-maintained inside. Though basic, it looks like a solid, budget-friendly option.”

the breakfast had a top notch buffet. they had a shared kitchen , so i could cook. luggage storage was available, this helped me a lot.
my room was very small on the top level, due to the pitched roof. the room had a constant smell of rotten eggs either from the bathroom or the small sink. there was a emergercy light in the room constantly on. it was impossible to sleep unless i cover it.

Charming Stay in Central Location
cooking facilitiesincluded breakfastluggage storagefast checkout
The kitchen had very good cooking facilities and helped save money as I bought my own food. Breakfast was included, ideal and very convenient. I appreciated the option to store my luggage after checkout. The check-in and check-out processes were super easy and fast.
The shared bathroom lacked a hook for hanging a towel or robe. It was a slight inconvenience.

The main building has a large dining area where the breakfast is served. The area is spacious and accommodates many guests. Everything needed for a good breakfast is present.

The breakfast was acceptable, nothing special (I mean, it filled me up).
The noise was a serious issue. I heard doors slamming and people stomping around late into the night. This made it difficult to sleep. The thin walls provided no soundproofing.
