Mengapa Orang Menyukainya
- Steps from Reykjavik Harbour and Laugavegur street
- Budget-friendly rates in a notoriously expensive city
- Kitchenettes and shared kitchens to save money on meals
Ringkasan Cepat: It’s a glorified hostel masquerading as an aparthotel—expect zero staff, thin walls, and a roll of the dice on cleanliness.
Ditinjau oleh @Hayhopkins: My stay here was exactly what I needed. The room is bright, super clean, and the twin beds were comfy after long days out. It's a no-fuss, incredibly central spot in Reykjavik. I loved having my morning tea right in the room before heading out to explore.

- You prefer cooking your own meals
- You just need a bed and a shower near the harbor
Kebersihan & Pemeliharaan
4
- Housekeeping: Virtually non-existent during your stay. Missed spots, dusty floors, and trash left behind are common complaints.
- Bathroom hygiene: A major pain point. Reports of clogged drains, flooding showers, and filthy shared toilets.
- Maintenance: Shoddy. Broken chairs, malfunctioning fridges, and light switches that don't work.
- Linens & towels: Hit or miss. Some report fresh sheets, while others found mold on the ceiling and hair on the bedding.
- Odors & scents: Stuffy. With no AC and poor ventilation, rooms can feel stagnant.
