We spent two nights in this hotel during our visit of Iceland. Rooms are small, but its not a problem, staff is helpful, breakfast was also ok. I saw that there are also rooms which are in the middle of the hotel so they have just one window with the view of hotel aisle/corridor :P (with short curtain) ... when... More

We have used the Cabin Hotel in 2012 and 2013 when we visit our son who works in Reykjavik. Our recent 4 night visit in May 2013 has confirmed our initial impression that this is a very good place to stay if you are on a budget in Iceland. We got the Cabin "Superior" double room for about £40 a... More

I visited Iceland on 21 March 2013 with my mother for three nights. The hotel was in an ideal and central location to Reykjavik (the city center) and the Reykjavik Excursion tour coaches collected people from right outside the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean and tidy. We booked the Blue Lagoon tour, as well... More

My daughter and I stayed here in March on a Northern Lights Tour. It is a modern, utilitarian hotel which exceeded our expectations on the basis of the excellent help and assistance given by the unfailingly cheerful desk staff. We upgraded to a superior room, which was a good decision as it gave us a extra room and a fantastic... More

Overall I liked this hotel and would use it again. Nothing much to get really excited about. I travelled solo and my room was a standard twin. It would have been a little cramped for two and had all the basic requirements but nothing more. I was aware that some rooms don't have external windows, just one looking out to... More

1) Cabin hotel is situated overlooking the snow covered mountains and electric blue sea. It has a gorgeous view! 2) All tour companies provide free pick and drop to this hotel.

The hotel was very clean and comfortable and efficiently run. The one drawback was that it's rather a long walk from the city centre. Bear in mind that there are few public transport options in Reyjavik and the weather isn't famously clement. However, if you are going on any tours out of town you can arrange to be picked up...

This is a budget hotel - that's how they market themselves. That said its far better than any Travelodge I ever stayed in. The room and bathroom was 99% excellent condition (only a wobbly bath tap bringing it down). The towels were replaced everyday, and the room cleaned. Having a fridge in our deluxe room was very useful, some tea... More

This was our second visit to Hotel Cabin. We previously stayed in 2008 in a basic 'cabin-style' room and while we thought it was very good value for money on this occasion we decided to book a superior room, which cost about £35 per night including breakfast and free wi-fi (which itself costs around £15 per day) through the website...
