lived for 8 nights
clean room
nice staff at front desk who recommended nice places nearby
water pressure for showering can be a bit stronger
yummy breakfast with acceptable amount of choices
acceptable distance from main street
not noisy when sleep
It was good to stay for our last day as it's quite close to the bus station to airport.
As there's fully equipped kitchen, we could be able to cook our own food which made us feel even better. Lastly, Bonus is right beside so it was cooool!
Just one thing is that I had hard time looking for the entrance but unless that, it was good stay.
excellent location.
slightly a bit dated: bedroom doors needed a bit of effort to close. Could hear wind howling in tiny bedroom window gap.
spacious and with a kitchenette. When we checked in there was some condiments, oil, porridge leftover by previous tenants (we did not use)
free parking wasnt really free, paid GBP16 for overnight parking
Great

We absolutely loved the room, the beds were comfy however the corridors stank of what i can only describe as dog food. There was luggage storage which was so helpful and the centre was only 15 minutes on the scooters. The housekeeping also let them selves in at 9:30am on our last day when check out was 11am which for a group of girls was not good.
Except that the door could not be opened at first, after contacting the landlord, the landlord opened the door for us in the background and then updated the correct password. The room is relatively short and does not have a direct view of the sea, but other than that it is very good. The facilities are complete and easy to use. The multi-function oven and refrigerator are very convenient.
I didn't stay at this place. Because of double booking, the conditions of another hotel are much better than this one. However, I still found this apartment-style hotel. I got the door code through the intercom and went in to check it out. The sanitary facilities were good. I just didn’t see anyone or live there.
The studio it self has a great potential but it needs a deep cleaning. The studio still had the garbage from the previous guests inside and was full of dust. Also the outside is not very welcoming (it's OK to be in the back of the house but it is not OK to have construction leftovers just outside the door/window). Apart from that the bed was comfy, you have a mini fridge and good wifi connection. You can walk from here to the city center. Parking space just outside the building for free.
The service was satisfactory and the location was great. There's a large supermarket and a Chinese restaurant nearby, and it's a 10-minute walk to the cathedral and city center, and a 20-minute walk to the Old Port.
Facilities: Excellent
Cleanliness: Very clean
Environment: Convenient for getting around, with the airport Flybus shuttle directly to the door.
Service: The front desk was very friendly and helpful, and the response time was quick.
We started our travel to Iceland by driving around Iceland in a campervan, so we were hoping for a relaxing hotel stay in Reykjavik at the end of the trip when we pre-booked. We were not disappointed by the Eyja Guldsmeden. The location was only a few blocks away from downtown where there were tons of shopping and dining options, and the hotel itself was beautiful. In the lobby, we grabbed (included) coffee in the mornings and a reasonably-priced drink for happy hour. The service at the front desk was friendly and cordial. The room itself had a nice view of the mountains and was warm and cozy. It was a great stay and we would definitely go back to this hotel again if we are ever back in Iceland!
Our only difficulty, understanding this is mostly outside of the hotel's control, is that some of the sidewalks on the walk to downtown were extremely icy and slippery after a day or so of wintry mix that froze over. We had to be extremely careful making our way down to Laugavegur, which had much safer sidewalks. There were even a few buses and cars that couldn't make their way up or down the icy, hilly streets and had to work their way around. So if you are going in the Winter, be cautious and walk slowly!
Environment: In the center of Lei City, the location is very good. Next to the old street, there are many Internet celebrity shops and several Chinese restaurants. This location is very convenient to go anywhere, just walk.
Service: All self-service check-in. If you arrive at the door in the morning, someone may help you check in. They will send an email a few days before check-in. If you don’t receive the door password or something, you need to contact them, otherwise, like us, you have to stand in the cold wind for 10 minutes to communicate with them and then send us an email
Environment:
The room you stayed in is quite large, larger than ordinary hotels, but we are a little noisy on the first floor. There is a smell of rotten eggs in the room, but this is the smell of sulfur water. At first I thought it was from the sewer. There is no water barrier in the bathroom. If the water is turned on, it is easy to flow outside. While taking a shower, I scraped it with a mop
This price-performance ratio is OK there. The room is large and the location is excellent, so its shortcomings can be ignored
Very Good

GGuest UserThe room is quite big, one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom layout, the guest restaurant is relatively large, there is a huge island platform, it is very convenient to put things, the living room combed bed is put down and there is enough place to stack luggage, there is a large balcony, combed bed quilt is very small (I don’t know if there is still a bed that I didn’t find), The bath water smells very sulfurous. There is a dishwasher in the kitchen. You can park for free along the street according to the instructions given by the store, but there are many places with fewer cars (maybe because it is free). There is a paid parking lot across the street. Don't be confused (it is divided according to the middle line of the street). Behind the apartment is a pig supermarket. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the Rainbow Street neighborhood.
WWyw112The bus hostel is really near the airport and quite walkable to major sightseeing like 20-30 minutes.
Yet the Windows curtain could not even cover it well so if you sleep near a Windows in summer (as the night will be very bright) You will affect by the light. There was men snoring really hard so it affect as well (though this is not about the hotel)
I got nose allergy and the entire time I stay in the hotel and it makes me feel very sick.
The self check in system is quite good, yet the reception will be locked after 9pm(?) I was coming back at 10pm and there was no staff help unlocking the main entrance which the password is different. They provide no information about this. A few of us (new guests or those coming back) are locked outside until a guest know the password show up. This certainly not a good service at all.
The toilet has automatic light which is Environmental friendly I like it, but it went off when I only have a short time in the toilet, this really not quite good.
But the location is good and there is bus travel tour pick up from here.
AAnonymous UserTwo people will feel that the room is too small, and one person lives just right. A bit out of the way, flybus+ Generally, I can send it to bus stop 13, and I am worried that the traffic is inconvenient to drag my luggage. As a result, it rained when it arrived. The driver of flybus drop off red line looked at the location map on my mobile phone. It was very nice to put me at the nearest intersection. I don't feel inconvenient. I like to leave the city center a little quiet. The tableware is very new, there is a capsule coffee machine, there is a public laundry room, and it is close to Bonus. I have not seen the staff during the whole process. I like it.
GGuest UserThe room is clean and tidy, the service staff is very friendly, the facilities are complete, the breakfast environment is good, and it feels like returning home. It is worth recommending everyone to stay here.
VVanessaSuper quickly the confirmation email from the hotel, the directions and recommendations are clear and simple. The room was a decent side and it had a huge bathroom. Right now there are making some renovations in the property but during the sleeping hours everything is pretty calm and silent
OOrmsbyI did not receive the check-in information before check-in, so I contacted the host through Facebook messenger when I arrived at the hotel door. The rooms are on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors and there is no lift. It is very inconvenient if you have a large suitcase.
GGuest UserThe room was spacious and clean, shared bathroom was also clean. Good spread for buffet breakfast and good amenities to use in this guesthouse. There was a strict check in at 3pm but the host let us wait in the waiting area when we arrived at 2:30. It has nearby bus stop but everything is walking distance if you brace the weather.
Llucy10The location of the hotel is good, close to the church and Fly bus station, about ten minutes' walk.
The kettle in the hotel was broken, so I had to boil water in a pot to make noodles.
There is no reception staff at the hotel. There is a notice posted on the door. You need to call the hotel to get the password to open the door and then take the room key to check in on your own.
