Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Cabin is often chosen for its convenient location, within walking distance of Reykjavik city center and a pleasant walking path along the bay. The hotel offers practical amenities such as free luggage storage and complimentary parking, which is a definite plus. While some guests have found the rooms quite minimalist and compact, especially the windowless ones, many appreciate the hotel's cleanliness and tidy environment. A supermarket and a petrol station nearby add to the convenience, and the breakfast, with its variety of options, is generally considered a great way to start the day.
