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.

I found the rooms to be clean and well kept. breakfast runs from 7-10 each morning. it has a good selection for the price point. Items include boiled eggs, porridge, cereal, breads, pastries, ham, salami, cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, jams, peanut butter, oranges, yogurt, tea, juices, and coffee. the front desk representative lenny is awesome, and the rest of the staff are very nice.

the room i stayed in was quite small and a bit tricky to move around, especially with luggage. i found there to be no hairdryer in the room which was inconvenient. it would be useful to have one available.
