A Hostel would have been preferable
We ended up going to a different hotel. We had to wait 10 minutes in the restaurant before we could check in, one of the two lights in the room was broken off. The bed was dirty (had hair on it and it looked like hay). The bathroom was not clean and the water smelled like sulfur. I did not want to spend my last night in Iceland being uncomfortable and not wanting to shower. There was a bicycle and an old mattress in the stairway leading to our room.

The hotel is centrally located and very close to bus stop #8 which is next to one of the most visible landmarks. Its perfect for a short no frills stay. The owner is kind. When choosing a place to stay in Reykjavik either you splurge and be far away from downtown or you compromise and be centrally located. I only stayed 1night and it worked for me.

Excellent no-frills budget hotel, great location
Only had about 15 hours in Reykjavik so literally checked in (super easy and friendly) and slept there. Room is budget so no frills but the bed was super comfy, the shower had pressure and was hot, and there was even a little kitchen area with microwave, fridge, sink and plates, cutlery etc. I didn't eat at the restaurant but it smelled amazing. The owner let me keep my bag there after checkout. All in all, for the crazy prices in this city and for what I needed, it was perfect.it was right near the bus stop for the airport shuttle and perfectly located for checking out the church and city.
