維拉飯店(Hotel Vera)

a big room with a lovely balcony.Definitely worth this price.Hotelocated in the reykjavik city centre and the Studio have a kitchen.

The room was large and clean, with a small kitchen, but it was a self-service check-in. No one contacted me before check-in and gave me the room number and password in advance. I had to wait at the hotel door for a long time! There was only one heating outlet in the room, so it was a bit cold.

The hotel is located at the main street where supermarkets and restaurants are nearby. The room is neat and tidy, and the kitchen area is equipped with full sets of utensils and microwave. However, the toilet is a bit stinky everytime after flushing.

Modern and a well thought set up of a hotel. Enjoyed every minute of my stay at Hotel Vera

The hotel is in the perfect location. The videos sent prior to arrival perfectly explained how to find the hotel and use the keypad system. It does feel a little odd walking through the restaurant to access rooms but I was well aware of this having read reviews. The room itself was quite well equipped in terms of catering for yourself (although the bin is quite small if you are going to be self catering for more than a day). The bed was extremely uncomfortable - to the point where I was in so much pain I was waking several times a night. It is in fact two singles pushed together and my husband who has significant back issues had the much better side of the bed. The reason I have given three stars is that we had one of the rooms on the ground floor which had only a velux to let in natural light. It did feel quite claustrophobic and that we were in some kind of underground bunker! It also made me a little nervous that we had no alternative method of escaping the room should there be a fire. I should say that the hotel was one of the more reasonably priced for the location. Maybe if we had an upper floor I’d have enjoyed my stay a little more. As a final note, a tiny bottle of milk would have been nice to make a coffee/ tea on arrival.

It’s the only hotel that I’ve ever seen that doesn’t have a front desk. The check in process needlessly difficult. They do not hold suitcases so if you get there early you have to haul them around. The pads to put a PIN number in to enter do not work well, we are once stood out there for 15 minutes putting in the pin given to us and it said it was incorrect and then randomly worked. The woman who responded when we pressed the intercom couldn’t have cared less and was quite rude. There was only one thin towel per person.
