Terrible experience. You have to phone to get your room number and key code, but the phone number was wrong in the email 6 digits instead of seven). I found the right number in another email but I never got an answer. Not that it mattered. I want to the property - you can just walk in - and found that the key code entrance for my room had been ripped off and replaced with a key lock (fortunately not locked). The front door doesn't open fully and slammed shut with spring-loaded force, pushing me to the ground. The toilet paper dispensers were locked, making toilet paper inaccessible. The room smelled of disinfectant. Just a bad experience all around.

Water leak from the roof ceiling during the rainy night. After reporting the leak and bowed in ceiling, We did not get any replacement room and later back to hotel, found our room locked with no explanation. We ended up searching for another place to stay overnight. Our prepaid room was locked out, service staff on property were given no directions

We are a family of 3 with a small child traveling. Finding the room upon arrival was difficult, our room was though the kitchen on the other side and there is no one there to help you. The room itself was clean. There is two numbers to be able to contact the staff, neither worked. Staff was unreachable during our 2 night stay. The toilet closest to us needed to be cleaned, the floor in the bathroom was dirty with used tp all over. There was no soap on the hand soap dispenser. The shower closest to us, the door was broke and you couldn't shut it, it also doesn't drain so the whole floor was flooded after one use. We messages management about this as well and got no response. Literally it was missing the bottom hinge. The other bathroom available had no soap or toilet paper available either day. The floor needed to be cleaned in the common kitchen area as well. Please do yourself a favor and sleep somewhere else.

DO NOT BOOK THIS GUESTHOUSE - YOU WILL REGRET IT !!!

My room was dirty at check in (like previously lived in dirty)

No staff found on property

No response via telephone, text or email for over 21 days now. No accountability.

When i finally found someone to clean it - it was STILL dirty afterwards and I could not longer find any staff members to finish the job.

I have been waiting 21 days for them to respond to me.

Hotels.com (who i booked through) has been waiting 12 days for them to respond to my refund requests.... and wont refund me until they reply.....

And they just refuse to respond!!

The one person I got ahold of by telephone said \"she is reservations only\" gave me an email address to complain to with my issues and then hung up on me when I begged for a phone number of a real person who could help me.

Oh, and this place was grimy - stains and goop in the fridges, no power to the entire communal eating area on check in and grime in the corners of the bathroom.

Only stayed one night instead of two. Floors were dirty. Some of our group were uncomfortable staying in a room opposite of where the shared bath and shower facilities were located. The other guests were loud. The surrounding area seemed off the beat and track, but not bad. Parking was available nearby. I did call staff to try to ask about nearby laundry facilities and restaurants. I started by saying that I knew they did not have laundry services, but the person just got upset with me and said \"we do not have that\" and hung up on me. I tried to call back but never got anyone to answer the phone after that. Very rude. Very frustrating.

We thought this place had a decent room and shared kitchen area, although only one out of the two stoves turned on when my husband and I were cooking. The shared bathroom situation was a bit of a challenge for me since I'm in my third trimester, and to get there I had to go through three doors and a brightly lit hallway in the middle of the night. All in all, it's a good place to sleep if you can get through the night without having to pee.

Wouldnt stay again

No front desk for this property. Per the cleaning lady: \"if its not between 4pm and 9pm, staff does not usually respond. Like many others i did NOT receive a message with check in info, but I was aware that they frequently have this issue and called in the morning for my door code. Its time for a chahge in how you handle check in, Riverside.
Rooms were clean. No rug or shoe rack, so lots of dirt and pebbles get tracked in. Spacious kitchen that is stocked with cooking ware. The walls are thicker than other hostels we have stayed, but the front door slams and can be heard through open windows.
We counted 12 rooms, but only 1 bathroom for men. 2 for women. There is an extra unisex one through the kitchen, but the window lines up with the toilet (prepare to moon the neighbors).
Showers do not have curtains, or locks on the door. You have to cross the bathroom naked to retrieve your clothes (unless you want them soaked in the shower with you). Mens bathroom also leaks under the wall, so when anyone showers the toilet is soaked around it on the floor.
Good price, good location, but just missing too many things and a bit too greedy. We would not stay again.

Stressful check-in. The host was not responsive. They never sent the check-in instruction email and when I followed up via messaging them on Expedia repeatedly, they never responded. We had to call Expedia customer service (which required activating roaming service on our phone) and get them contact the property manager/host and even then they sent the passcode 1 hour after the original start time for of check-in. The stay itself went ok with no particular problem. Overall, a decent stay given its lower price range.

The accommodations themselves were nice, but the space likely needed more care than an off-site manager. The women's restroom had two stalls, both of which did not have toilet paper accessible from the dispensers. No other backup toiletpaper was available. No paper towels were available for drying hands at the sink. The kitchen had no dishsoap for the communal dishes. All of these things were brought up via the hotels.com chat to the hotel, and no response was received during our stay there.

The shower areas had a single body-gel/soap product and did not have standard shampoo/conditioner/soap as separate products. Bring shower shoes if you don't want to step on the common shower floor.

The beds were comfortable, room had enough space compared to other rooms we had stayed in in Iceland so it was nice to be able to to open the suitcase and still step around it.

Stayed here for the 2nd night during our Iceland trip on the way back to Reykjavik. The code for self-check in was sent the day before. We were in the exact same room again. The room was clean, the shower room worked well, the kitchen was spacious and equipped with two sets of everything (sinks, ovens, stoves, microwaves, fridges, etc). Spacious dining areas with plenty of tables and chairs. Our room was really warm (June) without even turning on the heater. We actually needed to keep the window open to stay cool. The room had nice blackout curtains as well. A little sink in the room was super convenient. Overall, an excellent guesthouse. Thank you!

The room was spacious for four people. Blackout curtains worked really well. The shower room was close by, and there were washers as well (we did not use it). Kitchen was kept clean, and we were able to warm up our food in microwaves, and keep food in the fridge overnight. Overall, a very excellent stay. Thank you!

When we tried to contact on the given phone number, there was no response.
We were left outside on the street in the extreme cold weather with nowhere to go. With great difficulty got another hotel for the overnight stay.

People... who cares

We have stayed in multiple self check in places, so we were familiar with the concept. This place however requires someone to at a bare minimum have a look to the common areas and do some sensible mantainance. The men bathroom, disgrace, flooded thanks to the shower room leaking water everywhere, one of the shower rooms had a holw in the wall were you could easily hide inside, who knows what you can find inside there. The kitchen had no light as 5 out of 8 lights were broken. We saw people arriving with no codes to self check in and waiting in the common area, hoping to get someone to answer their phone calls. The room itself was simple but enough to sleep one night, unless you find hairs all over the bed and pillow in which case, you will spend your time calling for service and get no one to answer.

The owners of this place don't care about their guests, here you will pay without knowing what you will get, and you wont be able to claim anything during your stay.

Most Icelandic guesthouses are converted from old houses and have small rooms up narrow staircases. This building is a purpose-built guesthouse with wide, hotel-style accesses which makes it a lot more accessible for people with accessibility issues. However, it loses some of the guesthouse charm as a result :) so it depends on what you're looking for!

good in parts

Nicer inside than it looks from exterior - clean, modern Scandi style rooms.
Good large communal kitchen
BUT - interior structure is not solid - every time a door closes, the walls shake - and the doors are on strong self closing springs so bang, shake, shake - and as for the main front door, even though it was a long way from us, it makes a massive thump every time it closes.
Then only three showers for maybe 40 guests - we didn't have a problem but it doesn't seem enough.
Only one frying pan in kitchen!
Getting the automated pass code was a hassle - it didn't arrive and they kept saying it must be in my spam folder - just send it again guys, don't make it painful.
No owner or manager ever seen - anonymous check in by number is unfriendly.
Don't get me wrong it's not bad, but could easily be much better

Nice clean room that was a good size, no receptionist, you are sent a code when you pay, electronic locks on doors a bit fiddly - especially if you have large hands as they are right at the door jam. Bathrooms could be improved as they were quite far away and only had one shower and one toilet. (male toilet, not sure about the female one!)

Bathroom could be improved

The room is very small but quite clean. The shared bathroom could be upgraded more. Common area is very cute. Only if they approve the bathroom with they be considered 10/10 on my book but considering the price I'm not complaining

Guesthouse stay

Guesthouse which had plenty of cooking facilities. Cozy room for one night’s stay and close to town. There is no reception or staff here so you have to figure things out yourself. Toilet is quite small

Nice budget hotel not too far from Route 1.

Room was comfortable and clean and the communal kitchen was huge and well-equipped. Very affordable place to stay. Since we booked hours before check-in, we had not received the entry code for our room. Had to call their office to get our room assignment and entry code. Otherwise, everything was just fine.

The guesthouse is new and clean and contains basic amenities. The rooms are small but you can survive if you are just there to sleep. One of the beds was missing a leg so the sleep was a bit like sleeping on a hill.

Nice clean comfortable guesthouse

As is the case with most of the guesthouses in Iceland, we received a code but had a problem with the first room we were given. I texted a number shown and as there was still a little hiccup, someone showed up immediately and took care of everything. The room, kitchen, facilities and guesthouse in general were great: clean, comfy and convenient.

Nice hotel

Great hotel. Room was good size. We were the only ones so it was quiet. Big shared bathrooms. Large kitchen area to cook own meals.

Excellent stay in this very comfortable, modern and clean guesthouse. Couldn't fault it, was perfect for our family of four during our trip to Iceland. Great value for money.

Check your bedding and towels!

We arrived and found the hostel Is unwardened, using email to send you your room code etc.

We found that our room had used bedding and towels.

The phone number did not respond. The email simply asked the hostel and room number, after that they did not give us any reply despite numerous emails from me.

After half an hour someone turned up and gave us a clean room which was better.

He left as another couple arrived and found their room was used to and he had to return to give them another room.

Two other young guys thought their room had been used but did not complain, but in the morning said they’d been visited by bed bugs and were covered in bites!

This is a shame as the hostel itself is very pleasant and if the staff did their jobs and the phone number/email was responsive they would have a great business model.

Let down by staff!

New, clean and spacious!

Great stay, thanks! We were a group of 4, the room was spacious and spotless. The ktchen facilities were far more than adequate. Price was outstanding.

Clean, comfortable, with lots of common space to cook, eat and relax. The only thing missing for us was a toaster in the kitchen.

Nice guesthouse in hella

It was a great little guest house. Really enjoyed the location. Loved the little sink in room. Pillows were substandard and Would be nice if it had basic spices or a shared pantry that people had left with dry goods. There was no dish soap to do dishes. Overall great place and had a great nights sleep. It was quiet and comfy. Got some great northern light photos from the river path across the street.
