Check-in in this hotel is like solving a puzzle. No actual receptionist. Everything you need to know to be able to get the keys to your room is all written as instruction that you must follow. Oddly the doors of the rooms have paintings of comic faces. Hmm. I wonder whose idea this was. The rooms are good size and there's a mini kitchenette which is good just to cook simple stuff. Good size bed and place was clean.
I normally dont complain. This place had a great restaurant, lobby area was really classy and the service was good. But the room had a POTENT smell of catshit that would and should peel the wallpaper! We stayed in room A.
Spatious room and bathroom. Clean and nicely decorated. There is a nice terrace overlooking colourful houses. The hotel is on a very lively street that is full of restaurants and shops.
Lovely boutique hotel, right on the main shoping street in Reykjavik. Only on street parking is available, which is expensive as it's in the P1 parking zone but free parking is just a few hundred metres away.
Imaginatively decorated and furnished. Entrance is via a restaurant, there's no front of house staff. We arrived at 2:30 am due to our late flight into Keflavik and it was a bit surreal being let into an empty restaurant in the middle of the night to access the remote telephone receptionist.
The remote receptionist then tells you the code for the safe so you can retrieve your room key.
The room had cooking facilities, crockery, and cutlery which made it ideal as a family room as you're looking at £50+ to get breakfast for 2 adults and 2 kids in Reykyavik.
Double bed was comfy and the kids slept on a fold down sofa bed.
Iceland is probably the least energy efficient place I've ever been to. It's minus 10 Celsius outside and plus 30 indoors and they use large single glazed windows. Energy comes from geothermal, wind and hydro, it must be cheap. It's a shame they don't adopt a more carbon friendly policy and built an electric train between Keflavik and Reykyavik.
Public transport is virtually non existent. You have to hire a car or pay for expensive bus transfers to any and all attractions outside the city.
Enjoy, my family and I did.
A bit noisy but our room was directly above the restaurant. The room was very basic but had everything you would need, the heating was amazing.
Clean, comfortable and warm after a long trip in the cold wildlands. The beds are also good and there are several additionals, like coffee and tea maker.
Complicated check-in, no reception, no parking for unloading luggage. Very cosy and absolutely centric.
Great location in the middle of the shopping street. Even possible to store the luggage after checkout. Funny designed rooms. There was even coffee and a coffee maker in the room.
A lovely, clean room with a great view. There is no front desk person so the check-in is a little strange but overall a good, central place to stay.
Nice rooms at a good price. Could be better if the entrance was a lobby instead of a nonoperational bar/restaurant.
The OK Hotel was in the perfect location on a main street that had many shops and restaurants. The check in process was a bit odd considering there wasn't any staff but once we got the hang of getting in and out it was pretty nice. The room had a great bed and a eclectic style, my only complaint was that it smelled a bit funny and the pillows were too squishy.
Great location and comfortable bed, the room is quirky and unique. The small kitchenette is a great feature to help save some cash. Definitely would recommend.
Great location. The place was not easy to find so it's better too read the email they send. Just to bad that at the time we went the bar restaurant and breakfast area was closed
Great value for money spent. Really neat and original interior design. The check-in experience was memorable as well, done over the phone using a vault. You have to try it :)
As soon as we arrived, we found no reception. It was a self service apartment which we had to call their office from the lobby and obtain the keys from the lock next to the phone station. Each room has its own unique designed room. There's private kitchen and private bathroom. It was located right on the main shopping street in Reykjavik. You could find everything you need in walking distance.
