Cabin Hotel

"I think that according to my I personnal feeling, the hotel is overall pleasant and I value the staff work mainly at the reception. Nevertheless, It would be better to put refrigerators in the rooms and supply water for guests as well."

"Reykjavik's cruel January weather is usually balanced by the warmth of the townsfolk. This year was different and even better: the skies were kind and the staff at the Hotel Cabin surpassed Iceland's already lofty standards for hospitality. These people will not merely order a cab for you. They will suggest a faster, cheaper bus route. You get the feeling that if the bus crashes they will mend it, and if the driver is dead, they will drive it. Superb front-of house service, truly outstanding. Excellent hairstyles. Better levels of English conversation than many parts of England. Immaculately clean rooms. Expect no chandeliers, gold-plated toilets nor bunches of roses: the breakfast is somewhat monastic but Cabin is at the most affordable end of the city's hotels - and all the better for it. Simple, but secure. Basic, but everything works. Staffed by Icelandic humans, not Teutonic robots. No hidden extra costs. The in-house bar is well stocked and unlike most hotels, the prices do not make you feel like a bone marrow donor. Every floor and facility is accessible to wheelchairs, disoriented British students, fat people, enormously fat people, and North Americans (excluding West Virginia). If the streets are not icy you can walk into town in half an hour or less. For idlers - or if you just enjoy talking to Polish people - there is a bus stop within shouting distance of the front door. I travel extensively and this hotel is a new favourite. I recommend it unreservedly."
