Guest-rated 8.1/10 from 2,391 reviews

8.1Verified guest“The room was compact, the bathroom tiny, and the awkward sink made washing difficult. No nightstands or drawers meant we left things on the floor, and the shower flooded the bathroom. There was no food service, and despite the good location for walking to Perlan and the National Museum, poor soundproofing affected our privacy. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for a more comfortable stay.”
8.1Verified guest“A great pick for a trip, ideal for a single night. Breakfast had plenty of goodies, and the staff were friendly and polite.”
8.1Verified guest“A reasonable base for exploring. My room felt luxurious thanks to the kind staff. The location was close to city centre bars, mountains, and lagoons. Taps and Dolls was a short stroll away, and I ate lunch and dinner there.”
8.1Verified guest“Perfect location with easy access to the city, and the staff were genuinely nice and helpful.”
8.1Verified guest“The location is super convenient—just a 5-minute walk to the bus stop, making it easy to explore. I loved how clean and modern it felt, with a nice vibe for relaxing after a day of sightseeing.”
8.1Verified guest“I had trouble getting into my room because the check-in code arrived late. The touchpad was a nightmare, and I felt lost without staff around. My window was broken, and freezing air came in all night.”
