Hotels in Reykjavik East, Reykjavik

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Cabin very much, largely due to the eager-to-please staff, especially Lenny at the front desk. Rooms are small but quite adequate; I didn't expect to be spending a lot of time in the room except to sleep. (The bed was excellent.) The lobby area is a great [place to congregate and/or meet new people. After a long day of touring the many wonders of Iceland, I was very pleased to come back to the Cabin to relax. My only problem was with the continental breakfast, which was OK but lacked variety. I would definitely stay again, largely due to the terrific staff (Lenny, Bianka, Katya).

Great hotel just outside central Reykjavik. The room was clean and quiet. There was a great (but quite expensive) pizza restaurant in the same building! We enjoyed the breakfast, but wished it would have opened a little earlier. There was a parkinglot just outside the hotel for our rental car and that was great!

We stayed for 3 nights b&b in April. We arrived early and our allocated rooms weren't all ready but the reception staff amended our room so that we could check in. We also received a room upgrade to a balcony room on the top floor. The room was spacious, good size bathroom and comfortable bed. There was plenty of wardrobe space but no drawers to store smaller items. There was just one issue with the rooms on the top floor, which was they were very hot. Even with the radiators turned off, the staff advised that the heat from the lower rooms rise and can make them warm. There are just 2 small top windows so didn't allow much cooler air to circulate. There was a good selection at breakfast with English and continental breakfast options, tea, coffee, water and fresh fruit juices. The restaurant food was also good and comparable prices to in Reykjavik centre. Good service from the breakfast and restaurant/ bar staff. We used the spa on one of the days and enjoyed this. There are seperate saunas in the male and female changing rooms, with joint hot tub (not jacuzzi), warm small pool and small cold plunge pool. There are seating areas in the pool area with drink service. Towels and robes are provided. The hotel is located outside of Reykjavik centre and about 30 mins walk into the centre. There are a few supermarkets locally, we didn't find any within a short walking distance but there might be some around. The hotel benefits from free parking right outside and we didn't have an issue with the space being full. This was a good location for us as a base to explore the island. The hotel was clean and well equipped to meet our needs. The only issue was the heat in the bedrooms, but apart from that we had an enjoyable stay.

This hotel has a lot going for it, but it's held back by the fit and finish of many of the hotel's spaces. Overall, the hotel just feels dated. The red carpet in all of the halls is faded and stained, the wood floor in the room had a lot of damage, and the spa is way past its prime. On a positive note, the furniture in the room has been updated recently and the pieces were nice plus I found the bed to be very comfortable. Also, breakfast was really good! The service at the hotel was also great. But that spa, ugh. It's a perk of being a gold/diamond member, but the spa is just not in good condition. Most urgently, something needs to be done about the steam room, it smelled awful while we were there and even made other parts of the spa smell. But overall, the spa was just not in good shape with damage everywhere. Also, the location of this hotel isn't great if you're looking to explore Reykjavik but, if like us, you want somewhere with free parking for you to explore the rest of Iceland, then this is a great location for you.

Although the room is small, it is very convenient to settle in. The password is used to enter and exit. The piggy supermarket is 150 meters away, and shopping is also very close. The breakfast is also good. It is not too far to go to the main street and the Pearl Tower.

The hotel has two doors, one front door and one back door for pick-up and drop-off for various booking activities (when booking activities such as Aurora or sailing, it is best to confirm the address with the travel agency. The address on Ctrip is sigtun28, but the pick-up and drop-off is at sigtun38. It should be the back door address) On the first night we saw Aurora, we had been waiting at the front door. We called the travel agency and found out that the driver had been waiting at the back door. When we ran to the back door, the driver had already arrived at the front door... It took a while. … The hotel has a large free open-air parking lot, which is very friendly to self-driving travelers. You don't have to worry about finding a parking lot. It's about 5-8 minutes' drive from the cathedral and other attractions, and about 15 minutes' walk, which is not very friendly in the winter. The breakfast was quite satisfactory, in line with the general standard in Iceland (similar to the Hilton I stayed at later). There was freshly squeezed orange juice by yourself, which was quite delicious (maybe because it was squeezed by yourself...) There are many medals hanging in the hotel restaurant, so it should be an outstanding restaurant in the local area. However, due to time constraints, I was not able to have a meal, which is still a pity. If you have time, you can try it. The room size is acceptable, and the bedding is relatively comfortable (maybe because of jet lag and being too tired, but I slept extremely well). The bathroom has a bathtub and shower room. The heating is a radiator installed under the window sill. If the curtains are drawn, the effect is not very good. By the way, this hotel has disposable slippers, which are placed directly in the room drawer, which is relatively rare in Europe.

I can absolutely sympathise with people who struggle to get in and check in to this hotel. When you book through a 3rd party app, you do not receive your room number or entry code. The check-in process is then an adventure of trying to shout into a tablet near the front door, for a call that lasts maximum 2 minutes before it disconnects and you have to try again. The layout is… odd… to say the least, but if you follow the signs you can eventually end up at your room (if you find some of the doors that work, not all do). The maintenance person who broke into our room while we were out forgot to lock the door, so we were at risk of all of our things being stolen, which wasn’t ideal. The room itself was nice, location is good and as long as you don’t need anything, you are getting what you pay for.

A good little hostel with the front staff being very friendly. This hostel is not at BSI bus station which is where fly bus airport transfers arrive and depart. It is a 15 minute walk from BSI bus station, but there are many tour buses that stop here. The kitchen and bathrooms were always very clean and you could see someone always mopping or cleaning. The room was very hot so pack light Pyjamas. Also there are no women only dorms!!! I thought I was booking a women only dormitory but men were in there too. One man had booked a man only dorm but obviously they don't have this either. The website and the trip.com descriptions clearly need udpating.

Absolutely 5 star experience! Hotel mamma (local Icelandic) is the sweetest and most warm hearted person I met in a long time. She clearly loved to nurture and care for her guests. We got bumped up and had a suite for 3 days. Such a beautiful ambient atmosphere. The best home smoked salmon for breakfast and pukka tea! Simply a place full of love. I will come back any time

The environment is beautiful, the housing conditions are clean, the service facilities are good, the design structure is unique, and the geographical position is unique. In the international market, there is such a hotel with high cost performance, and the description is worthwhile, so we must have a compliment here. Will continue to live one.
