This was a last minute alternative stay, and expected to be nothing but sleepover. It ends up with everything once in my lifetime! Surprisingly upon checking in, tax paid in cash 3,000 ISK but almost doubles if paying by card. People work there are amazing, and manage the property superb. BTW, room with no blanket means you can rent pillow&blanket set at the place. I ended up getting myself a nice fleet and a perfect towel from 66 North for rainy cold days over the stay!

They’re charging an additional 3,000 kroner in tax? The experience doesn’t justify the price.

來冰島大學讀研,攜程上可以下單,住了一週靠近市中心,房子背面就是中餐館Fine restaurant. 工作人員很熱情,離學校宿舍搬進去還需要一段時間,不得不在各大平台薅羊毛。 a favorable reception is really impressed The hostel is absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such warmth and hospitality. The staff were incredibly helpful and always had a smile on their face. Our room was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city, making it so easy to explore all the attractions. We will definitely be back!

First, the hotel does not provide quilts or pillows. If you want a quilt or pillow, you have to pay an extra 300 RMB. Second, check-in is only available from 4pm to 9pm. Check-in at other times will cost an extra 300 RMB. Third, the hotel illegally charges more than 100 RMB in taxes per day. Fourth, the hotel owner has a dog, which is particularly scary. Fifth, the hotel does not give door cards to the main door or the small door. You need to ring the doorbell for the main door. If you come in in the middle of the night, probably no one will open the door for you. If you lose something at the small door without a door card, you don’t know who stole it. Sixth, when paying taxes, you can only pay in cash without a card. Seventh, forced buying and selling. All the above charges are notified after booking the hotel and paying, and the hotel does not refund. Eighth, the room is for 5 people, and it is too small to accommodate 5 people. Two days before I left, someone called the police because of illegal charges, hahahaha

It was a small, family-run guesthouse. The room smelled strongly of smoke. There was a bunk bed, but nothing was provided – no pillows or blankets. They charged an extra 3000 Icelandic krona for anything else, and when I paid by credit card, they added a double fee. Ctrip showed an additional 1099 krona upon arrival, but the hotel insisted on charging 2000 krona. Ctrip customer service was very helpful; after I complained, they refunded the overcharged amount. In short, this hotel had many hidden charges; be careful.

When we got to the hotel, we had to pay more, and there were no quilts or bath towels. The whole restaurant, kitchen, and room were all in poor condition.

Huge pit. The room is extremely small and low, and the suitcase is difficult to open. What's even weirder is that there is only one empty bed, and you can rent pillows and sheets yourself. The landlady had to pay for everything. After staying for two days, she said she would charge several hundred yuan to store the luggage for a few hours. Finally, she stored it in a regular hotel nearby for free.
