Very pleasant and quiet

Hotel was great, had a small kitchen (no oven). Room was clean and shower was great. My only issue is that I didn't have much communication with the hotel staff. They sent me a message which I did not receive on the hotels.com website or my email so I was lucky to check in when the owner was there. They weren't clear with me about the checkout time.

This was a great place to stay value for moneywise, but if you're expecting it to be a hotel you will be disappointed! There are only 4 rooms, and it's a converted office with no staff onsite. The keypad access to the building was very quick and easy though, and there is bag storage if you need it (you just need to email them for instructions). It was clean, but basic. There is no housekeeping though, and nowhere to hang towels to dry, so after a 5 night stay it was beginning to smell a bit musty! For a couple of nights stay I think it would be fine, and really it's very good value for so central a position in Reykjavik. Any queries were also answered quickly.

Lovely clean little room in a good location and at a good price. We opted for a room with a separate bathroom and used the shard kitchen a little for drinks. About a 20 min walk into town but it does not feel that long.

Non c’è mai nessuno alla struttura, non c’è nessun modo di contattare i gestori nè col telefono nè tramite e-mail. La stanza sarebbe carina, peccato che le lenzuola non fossero state cambiate, ma solo il letto rifatto sporco. Gli asciugamani erano sporchi come anche il pavimento. Peccato perché la struttura avrebbe potenziale.

Rek Inn was in a very good location close to downtown Reykjavik. Despite being unstaffed, check-in and pre-arrival instructions were very clear. The room was clean and spacious with a modern bathroom. There was access to a communal kitchen and seating area which had all the necessary amenities to cook basic meals. On-street parking was always available close to the hotel and the area was quiet and safe. We had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend it.

Great, no complains whatsoever!

Great, clean room, cozy bed, spacious, with nice bathroom, in the city centre. Parked on the street around the corner for free. Kitchen with fridge, one ring cooker, dishes and utensils and a nice area for eating/sitting. No staff on site, you are given access code remotely and then you find keys inside. But works ok. It was ok to check in before 2pm which we appreciated!
