Hotel in zona Nói Síríus, Reykjavik

Sono stata 7 notti in questo hotel e sono stata molto soddisfatta della scelta! L'hotel non è distante dal centro, è in una zona tranquilla e vicina ad una fermata dove passano molti bus urbani. Proprio di fronte all'hotel c'è la fermata dei bus per l'aeroporto, quindi super comodo! La camera era bella, pulita e comoda. Ottima anche la colazione, con una buona scelta di dolce e salato (rispetto alla media islandese direi ampia). Abbiamo prenotato con largo anticipo trovando un'ottima offerta. Per un cambio di data del volo abbiamo modificato le date e non ci hanno chiesto costi aggiuntivi. Il personale è sempre stato gentile e disponibile. Lo consiglio sicuramente!

Ci sono molti letti, ma la cucina comune non basta per così tante persone. L'areazione delle stanze è estremamente scarsa, perché le finestre sono piccole e non si aprono completamente. Ecco perché la stanza puzza di piedi. Considera l'idea di dormire la notte, soprattutto in una stanza con scarpe da alpinista.

So near to bus stop 9 pick up area which is on the right after u come out from left side of the hotel. Pls note: Bus stop 9 is not the one with Big Buses running. Hotel was super clean and ( as we were asians) female kitchen staff or waitress helped us heat up our rice packets in oven for 2-3 days. So kind of her ( can’t remember her name). We are very thankful, because of that rice, we were able to complete trips every day without any proper lunch ( as we joined tour and no time for that) . So grateful.

This one is somewhat tough to review. Service was 1-star. We received no instructions to enter and had to spend a fair amount of time on the phone (at costly international rates) to receive instructions. The instructions we received were not detailed enough. They did not mention entering through the restaurant to get to the first-floor rooms. Rooms on the second floor do not have to do this. The room itself was okay to decent. The kitchenette was nice, but the dishes were in the dishwasher when we arrived. The room lacked commonplace security features like an interior deadbolt, security chain, or a peephole. Combined with the strange way to enter the ”hotel” this made us feel uneasy. The fact that this hotel is not staffed and entry is through code would have been fine if detailed instructions were provided. Plenty of AirBnBs do this well. For the price, this would be much better value if they had better customer service and detailed instructions along with some additional security features. As it is I wouldn't recommend.

Kex… Ugh such a frustrating review to write. I really wanted to like the Kex hostel it has its good points, but overall was the worst hostel stay I have had in Iceland. I’ll give you my very detailed opinion. The Bad… -Lacking in the toilet paper department!!! We were on floor 4 there were several private bathrooms with showers and also separate locker room style bathrooms. At 7:30 AM I ran to the bathroom after finishing my business realized there was no TP! Ugh. Anyway afterwards I looked through the different open stalls with toilets. Only 3 toilets on the whole 4th floor had TP! To me having adequate TP is an essential thing. The bathrooms weren’t restocked until 10AM ish. And we aren’t even in peak tourist season. We mentioned the issue to the staff and they said “just call next time you need something” kinda hard to “just call” when you have already done your business in the bathroom and you need something to wipe with! They need to have staff check the bathrooms more frequently. -The kitchen is sad in the “equipment” department. One of the reasons we stay at hostels is to cook our own food. Maybe they are trying to push buying food from their restaurant. I get that they get a lot of traffic. But the cooking pan selection is -Terrible- nasty old pans that the thrift shop would discard. Janky handles, and interior coating mega gouged out. Don’t come here expecting to cook at least on level 4. -No way to make coffee!!! Again they probably want you to pay for their breakfast. But there is no option to make coffee. No coffee pot, machine, or way to make a filter pour over etc. Don’t bring coffee grounds expecting to make your morning brew. There was an electric kettle, but again no way to make coffee unless you brought instant. -The showers need a good bleach and scrub. The walls had black mold growing on them. Considering the fact that Kex was our most expensive hostel in Iceland (we paid 20,906 for a private double, with linens, and shared bathrooms…or $153 US) compare Kex to the Svjarborg in Stykkisholmer $90 US or Halfdan HI Hostel $63 US ( in both we had a private double & shared bath) but both were awesome and had a fully equipped kitchen with decent quality pots, options to make coffee, and plenty of toilet paper. I understand that being in the city we can expect to pay more. BUT I expect that price to include: -enough toilet paper -a means to make coffee -decent cookware. The good… -The location is great. Easy walking distance to the main shops/streets. And the ocean right across the highway. -Awesome “vibe” cool decor, lots of couches/lounge areas. -Entertaining/Social. In the evening there was group song trivia in the main area, and in another a live band. -Our room a private double with shared bathroom was large, and we slept well. (Note: I have never stayed in a “quiet” hostel so I always travel with a sleep soundtrack on my phone and a melatonin) -The staff was all polite In conclusion, I have traveled on 4 contine

Hotel molto ben posizionato e il personale è cordiale e disponibile. Questa è la seconda volta che soggiorno qui e finalmente ho avuto la possibilità di provare la vasca idromassaggio che è molto bella con questo tempo freddo. Bella decorazione nell'area lounge d'attesa

A good little hotel that works for a single traveler. Everything is basic but works and rooms look nicely renovated. There's just no elevator for those with a lot of luggage and the windows are very thin so you hear all the noise from the outside especially if you're facing the church.

Appartamento davvero grazioso e dotato di tutto nel pieno centro della capitale. Il personale molto discreto ma attento nella pulizia e nella cura del soggiorno, anche se non richiesto, ogni mattina ci veniva fornito del caffè e del latte per la colazione. Self check-in comodo e funzionale, si fa tutto con un app del cellulare. Decisamente soddisfatti!

We were initially allocated 331 which was in another block and had twin beds, so we swapped to room 301 which was double and we weren't disappointed. It was a clean and spacious, comfy bed .Great to have a ettle, fridge and coffee machine :-) Large walk in shower with constant hot water. Large wardrobe, plenty of storage. We had a 2nd door onto a corridor to other rooms, there was windows in this wall but by opening curtains people on corridor could look in. Only downside no natural light. Relatives across corridor in room 305 had full wall of windows for day light. Breakfast was good choice and plentiful. Reception staff friendly and helpful. Located with walking access to everything. Would stay here again and recommend

La posizione è molto buona. Camminare a distanza da tutti i luoghi. Le camere sono piccole ma ok. Abbiamo soggiornato per 3 notti. La prima notte siamo arrivati per le 2 e siamo stati messi in una stanza strana nel prossimo edificio adiacente, che non aveva ascensore da unirsi. Immediatamente ho notificato trip.com assistente e anche chiedere di cambiare la stanza che è stato fatto la mattina prossima. Grazie all'hotel & trip.com Il personale della reception è stato molto bello e utile La colazione era abbastanza buona
