Negative Reviews
negative:
Poor value for money
This property is criticised for being overpriced with the facilities and standards repeatedly not matching customer’s expectations. Reviews frequently mention the cheap furnishings and shared facilities not being adequate for the price charged by the hotel.
negative:
No blackout curtains
During the summer months, Reykjavik sees very little hours of darkness. The rooms of this property are not equipped with blackout curtains; an array of guests report this to be an issue with achieving a good night’s sleep.
negative:
Lack of housekeeping
Multiple guests remark upon the lack of housekeeping undertaken. This seems particular with changing of towels and linen, whereby a number of guests have stayed for multiple days and not had their linen refreshed. Common areas are also subject to repeated criticism for tidiness.
