The hotel is close to the church which is good for city walk. The city is too cold and the hotel is hard to locate. I could see some homeless ppl walking in the hall with half naked. The shared bathroom/ WC were smelling. There were not much to do in the city and we left early morning next day.

For that cost, the room was super basic - I have seen private hospital rooms with better amenities. No television, no hot water kettle, no fridge - but the worst? No elevator! Or actually one that only goes up to first floor (mine was on the 3rd floor). Had to get my change of clothes for the night and the next day by opening my suite case in the car trunk. Hotel staff is incredibly rude and unaccommodating.
Breakfast was included - basic affair. Have had such a great experience in Iceland that I don’t want it to be influenced by this one bad experience. You can book a little in advance for better options.

Conveniently located. Acceptable price and breakfast. We did not like that there is no elevator, so we had to carry our luggage to the 3rd floor using the stairs. I do have to recognize that the girl who checked us in offered to help, but we found that really awkward, that should not be part of her job description.

This used to be a college dorm, so expect small rooms and a very small shower, not made for a big person.

Would we stay here again? Hmm, that is a hard \"maybe\".

This is a dorm which is used as a hotel in summer. This should be mentioned in the description. Looking at the pictures you will not realize that. The breakfast looked overpriced. It would have been 27$ US. We went to Lon inside hotel Akureyri instead which was way better breakfast for 31$. Rooms were clean but it is a dorm room. The curtains don’t block light to have a good night sleep when night time is only a few hours in summer here in Iceland. I will not book this hotel again.

This is a part time hotel during the summer season.
The rest of the time it is a dormitory for school. No safe, no TV or radio, breakfast buffet is terrible it's what it is for the school. When searching for the hotel they show a big check mark before breakfast buffet, then on another line it says available. The hotel is ran by school students and really don't care for your needs.

There are no amenities in the room like tv. Should be advertised as more of a hostel than a hotel. The common area with tv and pool table was nice but it closed very early.

Serviceable, Inexpensive

I ended up on the third floor of the older “boarding school side.” The hotel was serviceable and people were readily able to address my concerns. Some aspects of the hotel were a little rough around the edges: third floor walk-up room for me, tourist-bus heavy breakfast times sometimes made it hard to find a seat for breakfast, not too centrally located (big hill down to quite a few sights and run routes). None of those could be helped by the hotel, and did not factor in my ratings, but would be helpful to know. I had a few crumbs in the closet, a few hairs on the bedding, and the drinking on the sink still had a bit of cleaning solution still streaked upon it. All were able to be fixed on my own.
