Hotels in Hlíðar - Reykjavík

Negativ:: Es roch, als hätte jemand in den Flur geworfen. Ich glaube, das Reinigungspersonal versuchte, es so gut wie möglich zu reinigen, aber der Geruch blieb.

Positiv:: Wir kamen früh an und bekamen Frühstück und Kaffee. Wir kamen bis 10:30 in ein Zimmer. Das Zimmer war effizient, sauber und gepflegt. Das Personal war während des gesamten Aufenthalts ausgezeichnet.

Positiv:: Das Personal war sehr freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Die Anlage selbst war außergewöhnlich.

Positiv:: Sehr gutes Personal - immer da und immer hilfsbereit!

Positiv:: Das Hotel war wirklich einzigartig. Mir gefiel das Design, das die Angestellten sehr nett und zuvorkommend waren

Positiv:: Stilvolles Frühstücksbuffet, große Räume in den Wohnheimen, nicht zu eng, Angestellte an der Abendschicht "Gary the Great" ist kein cooler, freundlicher Dude, aber äußerst hilfreich.

Positiv:: lockere Atmosphäre

Negativ:: Es gab nichts, was mir nicht gefallen

Positiv:: Freundliches Personal, gute Lage, saubere Schlafsäle, schöne Umkleideräume für Koffer.

Negativ:: Keine Badezimmer für beide Geschlechter auf beiden Seiten der Etage. Raumaufteilung der Schlafsäle nicht großartig. Schlechtes Internet

Positiv:: Well laid out and spacious rooms. Comfortable beds. Great location and super friendly, helpful staff

Negativ:: Washing machine would be nice! They offer a service but I’d prefer to do my own

Positiv:: Die Lage

Negativ:: Überteuert. Überbewertet. Man zahlt an die 150 Euro pro Nacht (ohne Frühstück) und findet sich de facto in einer Jugendherberge wieder. Ich gehe davon aus, dass das Hotel Zimmer auch günstig verscherbelt. Wer dann voll zahlt, ist wohl der Verlierer.

Positiv:: - 4-Bett-Zimmer hatte ich erfreulicherweise zur Einzelnuttung - dicke Matratzen, saubere, ordentliche Bettwäsche, gute Beleuchtung an den Betten und ausreichend Steckdosen - einladende Lobby

Positiv:: Staff was very responsive to our request to change rooms. Rooms had a nice (small) outside sun deck.

Negativ:: It's a little far from the tourist area (shops and restaurants) but that might be an advantage as we got more exercise.

Positiv:: This review is about the two floors of the hotel which are a hostel, not a hotel. They lend you a tiny (nearly a joke, I guess) lock to put on the small cubby boxes in the room. 1000ISK deposit. The kitchen contains dishwashers.

Negativ:: I stayed in a room with 12 or 14 beds. The doors on these rooms are "underdamped", meaning they are designed or adjusted to slam very very loudly if you let them close by themselves. It shakes not just the room, but is even obnoxious during the day if you're in a common kitchen or lounge down/across the hall. The door in my room was slammed AT ALL HOURS of the day except 12h30 -- 03h00 a.m. by the absurdly inconsiderate guests. The problem is that there is no effort by the hostel to tell people how to behave, and for some reason a large cross-section of the sample of young travellers in my room seem entirely oblivious to the surely-obvious effects of their actions on other people. There were no quiet hours announced. No one was told to close doors quietly. I was dumbfounded how people stayed up shouting, drinking, etc inside the dorm room (there are couches) until midnight, even when others were obviously trying to sleep, and the same people when they were on a different schedule, were up at 03h a.m. sharp talking loudly, and slamming the door countless times again. I mentioned to the staff that there was an educational solution (maybe) to this problem, but they didn't seem very interested. In addition to all that, the rooms, which look nothing nice as clean as in the pictures online (of course), have little cubby boxes below the beds where you supposedly can lock your valuables. The locking tabs are a bit of a joke, maybe, but in my room several were actually broken off anyway, so there was no way to lock them. This was my worst hostel experience ever.

Positiv:: Just the cutestest hostel ever. Very trendy, clean and comfortable. Spacious rooms, clean bathrooms and showers. Guests were very respectful. Had no trouble sleeping in the evenings. Great bar and sitting area in the reception area to drink and meet other travelers. Food was delicious at the restaurant. Excellent location, located on the main road, central in downtown. Most tours pick up just outside their door steps, as well as local bus stops. Although, it's easy to walk everywhere from there. Absolutely, love it and hope to stay there again one day.

Negativ:: No negatives.

Positiv:: Decent price and location

Negativ:: Much dirtier in person Kitchen appliances don't work (stoves, ovens, microwaves) so use and need of kitchen is pointless People staying there do not clean their dishes, and cleaning crew doesn't do them either, so there's always a sink full of dirty dishes and no utensils. Advertises soap and shampoo provided yet they give 1 tiny bottle of shampoo that people end up stealing so no soap or shampoo Same with the soap in the bathrooms. No soap. Checked out a day early (almost 30 hours early) yet told that no refund would be given because not given 24 hours notice (?)

Positiv:: good location , ocean view , free wifi , free coffee machine/hot water , heating is very good regulated in room and in bathroom

Negativ:: water is a bit volcanic taste ; room service only once in five days

Positiv:: warm comfortable room with great shower plus hairdryer. Great idea to have an ironing board and iron available on each floor to use if required. Breakfast was ample. Loads of reading material/leaflets available to help inspire ways of exploring Iceland. Hotel staff very friendly & helpful, lovely place to stay. For the price & location it was just perfect.

Positiv:: The hotel staff were very courteous and went out of their way to make sure all of our needs were met. Our room was much larger than expected, very clean, and very affordable. The location is close to the city center but the area is not nearly as busy / moderately quiet. We will stay at this location next time we visit Reykjavik.

Negativ:: It would have been helpful if there was a refrigerator in the room however the staff made accomodations for us get ice to keep our son's milk cold for the evening.

Positiv:: No double beds!!

Negativ:: No double beds

Positiv:: Quiet hotel, staff very knowledgeable about what to see and do in Reykjavik and very helpful.

Negativ:: The hotel itself is just a little bit too far from the centre of town but that is not a major complaint.

Positiv:: Simple, clean warm and friendly.

Negativ:: Wi-fi did not work in the rooms as advertised.

Positiv:: Rooms were clean and adequate for our needs. The staff was most helpful. I would stay with you again.

Negativ:: Our first room assigned to us had an order. There was no problem whatsoever in gettting us changed to another.

Positiv:: Staff very friendly and the place was very clean.Beds were very comfortable

Negativ:: It would have been nice to have been able to make coffee and tea in the room

Positiv:: sympatische ,ungezwungene atmosphäre

Negativ:: eigentlich nicht

Positiv:: Clean, friendly staff.lovely atmosphere.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Zentrale Lage, sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Angestellte im Hotel, schöne Zimmer

Positiv:: Gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis.

Negativ:: Hotelmitarbeiter bezüglich Kunden-Service verbesserungsbedürftig!

Positiv:: Toller Aufenthalt!! Kann es jedem empfehlen!

Positiv:: der Preis war gut. Sauber. Kostenloses Frühstück. Shuttle zum Busterminal entfernt.

Negativ:: Winzige Betten und Badezimmer. Nicht die beste Lage in Reykjavik.

Positiv:: Interior of the hotel was very clean, location was pretty good, and the free WiFi was useful and worked well. Room was much quieter than many hotels, with earplugs in I only heard hallway noises (not the people next door, above, and below, as is common). Breakfast was decent (but plates, bowls, utensils, and cups could be in short supply). Check-in was inconvenient but they do have a nice luggage room and were perfectly willing to hold our bags both day of arrival and day of departure, while we did some sightseeing.

Negativ:: It felt a lot like a hostel - difference being the fact they provided sheets and own bathroom. Breakfast was better than what's offered at most hostels I've stayed at but felt very similar otherwise (complete with threatening signs). Our reservation paperwork said check-in was at 2:00--when we arrived, staff was insistent that it was 3:00, and no, no early check-in available. Well before 3:00, the lobby was crowded with people waiting to check-in.

Positiv:: Einfache Zimmer, aber das Zimmer war komfortabel, ruhig und nachts dunkel. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet.

Positiv:: nicely maintained facilities and a good location walking distance to the bus terminal

Positiv:: The breakfast was good.

Negativ:: No dinner and not so many restaurants nearby.

Positiv:: Friendly, helpful owner, clean and pleasant guesthouse and I had interesting conversations with fellow guests.

Positiv:: Very pleasant, helpful staff. Very clean facility. Wonderful breakfasts.

Negativ:: A little noisy (busy road outside; sound of guests entering/leaving their rooms).

Positiv:: The Guest house is built to a boutique hotel standard.

Negativ:: The location is a bit far from centre of city.

Positiv:: The staff was super nice. The room was clean, but the most important thing, for me, was the clean showers and toilets, since they were common. [And they were always clean and available, and with a sense of privacy] the breakfast was really good, and it was pretty close to the center. Not in the heart of town, but in a walking distance, and also close to other sites and facilities, such as the bus terminal for the airport and for day trips]. The free internet access really helped a lot, although sometimes reception was not good. In short it was a really good deal. And I would definitely recommend it to anyone, and will probably come back again.

Negativ:: One thing I found somewhat disturbing is that I really didn't know how to contact the staff at some points of the day, especially at night. I had to leave really early in the morning, but couldn't find out how to check out. Just left the keys on the bed and left. Usually this would be a good thing, I guess. Because it gives you a sense of privacy and feeling that you are "at home". You don't feel their presence all the time, but you do know they are there. But thinking about emergencies, check outs and some unexpected things, I would have liked to know how and where to contact the staff.

Positiv:: awhr nette betreiber, exzellentes frühstück (grüntee!), gute lage nahe am zentrum

Positiv:: freundliche, familiäre Atmosphäee

Positiv:: Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin

Positiv:: Sehr freundliches Personal

Positiv:: Very good location, excellent breakfast, very nice room.

Positiv:: Obwohl sie am Anfang in das falsche Zimmer gebracht wurden, haben sie es mit kostenlosem Frühstück in Ordnung gebracht. Wir kamen früher als die Check-in-Zeit an und waren erschöpft und sie haben uns untergebracht, nur in einem Familienzimmer, das wir am nächsten Tag ausziehen mussten.

Negativ:: War nicht wirklich im Zentrum der Stadt. Wünschte, sie hätten eine Karte an der Wand oder eine Broschüre, die zeigte, wo sie in Beziehung zur Innenstadt von Reykjavik standen.

Negativ:: Everything was dirty, including the common kitchen, and the front desk gave te let to our room to another guest who ealked right into our room while we were sleeping! They don't care, so don't stay there. The plae doesn't even have a sign to find it.

Positiv:: Clean safe easy to park. Great beds and comforter. Can open the room window. Kitchen available. Free tea and coffee. Friendly staff.

Negativ:: No tv. Shower pressure weak. Toilet ran long to fill. Few accessible outlets.

Positiv:: Praktisch und gut gelegen. Ruhig.

Negativ:: Die Betten waren ein wenig schmutzig.

Positiv:: Das Frühstück war gut, die Zimmer sauber, das Personal freundlich und hilfreich. Es war kein schlechter Spaziergang zur Innenstadt von Reykjavik (nur 40-50 Minuten) und es hat eine schöne Aussicht. Die Betten waren bequem und die Zimmer im oberen Stock waren gemütlich. Während es pro Stockwerk nur eine Dusche/toilette pro Geschlecht gab, musste ich nur einmal warten, um das Bad zu benutzen. Meistens waren die Leute höflich und machten ihre Geschäfte schnell. (Es hilft, wenn Sie am Abend duschen, nehme ich an.)

Negativ:: Der Lärm von der Straße ist sehr laut, aber wenn man müde ist, spielt es keine Rolle. Das Wasser aus dem Hahn roch wie Eier (Schwefel), aber es war nicht schrecklich. Der Wasserdruck für die Damendusche im zweiten Stock war ziemlich schlecht, aber ich konnte immer noch sauber werden.

Positiv:: Die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit Das Frühstück hatte eine gute Qualität der Speisen und eine gute Auswahl ruhige Umgebung

Negativ:: Das Zimmer roch ein wenig muffig nur zwei Toiletten/Duschen pro Etage von ca. 10 Zimmern

Positiv:: The facilities were clean and the staff was welcoming. Breakfast was interesting.... So is every breakfast bar at hostel/guesthouse style lodging.

Negativ:: I knew what type of facility its was so I knew what I was getting into. All around solid performance.

Positiv:: Günstiger Preis für isländische Verhältnisse, auch sehr sauber, obwohl Toilette und Dusche gemeinschaftlich genutzt werden

Negativ:: Das Frühstück ist zwar relativ einfach, allerdings für den Preis so zu erwarten.

Positiv:: The breakfaste and service.

Positiv:: Hotel personnel and breakfeast. Also the possibility to make your own meals

Negativ:: Hotel is located just by main road. So if you have the room from road side it can be noisy

Positiv:: Guests were mostly international students and fun to visit with them

Negativ:: It was more like student dorm. & family hotel and was no 24hr staff to wake you up!! You must have your own alarm clock. I almost missedmy early morning flight because the alarm clock the hotel lent me did not go off!!

Positiv:: Breakfast was very good

Negativ:: Too far away from everything, no transport (shuttle bus did not work) on website the free shuttle bus service was stated, which made taxi transport very expensive

Positiv:: the staff were very friendley and helpfull, good english spoken so that was good being english, the breakfast was excellent value, with a good all round sellection, the hotel was very good value for money, the rooms were cleaned, and supplied with fresh towels each day. I was very happy.

Negativ:: It is a little off the beaten track, but for people of moderate fitness this presents no problem, and the busses are regular, and within reach of the hotel.

Positiv:: Freundliches Personal. man kann Frühstück essen von 7 bis 10 Uhr.

Negativ:: Mann hat nur eine 1ner Dusche und ein Wc für den ganzen Stock. Es ist ein starker Lärm wegen der Schnellstrasse daneben.Schlechte Vorhänge, also viel zu hell zum schlaffen

Negativ:: - Kein eigenes Klo - mikriges Frühstücksanngebot - zu wenig Parkplätze

Positiv:: Sehr hilfsbereites Personal

Negativ:: Nur eine Toilette je Geschlecht, und diese auch noch zusammen mit einer einzigen Dusche für ein ganzes Geschoss war viel zu wenig. Deshalb meine Einstufung bei Komfort und Einrichtungen nur mittel. Die Gästebewertung habe ich mir nicht angesehen; deshalb keine Antwort.

Positiv:: Sehr gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Super Frühstück.

Negativ:: Etwas chaotisches Verhalten beim Check Inn.

Positiv:: Müheloses Einchecken, saubere Zimmer, gutes Frühstück, junges Klientel, viele Angebote zu entsprechenden Aktivitäten lagen aus.

Negativ:: Zentrale Lage absolut nicht gegeben. Zimmer direkt zur Hauptstraße - sehr laut. Kein Klo, keine Dusche in Reichweite. War auch als Hotel ausgeschrieben und dann doch nur ein Guesthouse, viel Busreisende, Bestattungsinstitut direkt davor...

Positiv:: Friendly staff, clean

Negativ:: - Noise (doors, highway) - tv quality - monotone breakfast - bathroom needs a facelift

Positiv:: Nice atmosphere
