Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic rooms — Many rooms are simple — a bed, a sink, and shared bathroom — which suits a no-frills stay but not those wanting more comfort.
- Street noise — Rooms facing the main street can pick up traffic noise, which light sleepers should consider.
- Mixed value for money — While the location is a plus, some guests feel the price is high for the simple setup, and the overall rating sits below the city average.
- Limited breakfast — Breakfast is described as simple — nothing extensive — so plan for an extra stop if you want a bigger start to the day.

7.2Verified guest“As a solo traveller, it was hard to find something affordable. The room is basic — a bed, a sink, a window facing the road — and the bathroom is shared, but it was clean. A simple breakfast is available. Fine if you don't want to spend time hunting for other options.”
7.2Verified guest“The location was excellent, convenient for reaching Hlemmur.”
7.2Verified guest“The hotel is clean and works well as a budget base. The room was reasonably large, warm, and had central heating, a writing desk, and a private entrance. The private bathroom was clean. The helpful staff made our stay comfortable. The location is great, near a Lutheran church, with a restaurant downstairs, downtown and convenience stores close by, plus the harbour.”
