I loved everything about thus hotel from the moment I walked in the door. I got a warm welcome from Gael who is anazing,warm friendly and extremely helpful. It was a nice tough having a tea/coffee/cake when you first arrive. Tbe rooms are small but very modern and cosy. The beds are so comfortable in fact the best beds I've ever slept on. The showers have shampoo/conditioner and shower gel. All made in Iceland. My only critique is the water from the shower kept flowing out to bedroom floor due to the way the shower is built. Breakfast is great, huge selection. Location is amazing , 2 mins walk from everything. Book your tours with the hotel Nd I strongly suggest taking the west Iceland tour with East West. The small tours are way better than the big bus tours.Alma/Gael can help. The staff are like family hete. I promise you will not want to leave. Alma is so lovely and will literally go above and beyond to make sure you are ok. Alma's brother also works here, he is a big foodie and can suggest great rest6. Gael is lovely, kind, helpful. You will enjoy everything about this gorgeous hotel.

Just a small criticism. But the way the shower has been built, the water at times flows out yo bedroom floor

We stayed in Lokal 101 already 3 times and we cant stop thinking about going back again. The central location allows you to walk everywhere, clean and spacious rooms, modern design, breakfast with pleasant variety taking under consideration diets / allergies and serves the products grown locally in Iceland. The main reason why we come back is that magical atmosphere / feeling you get everytime you walk in - Icelandic music always playing in the background, everyone from the staff is always ready to help, coffee / tea available in the afternoon, and the design - all the details in terms of decoration, art, the way this place was reconstructed reflects on where you are - you breathe Iceland. The place has real soul that makes the stay in Iceland so unique and complete. It is visible in every detail that the owners care deeply for highest level of comfort for their guests. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Reykjavik.

A short walk from the centre, small rooms but enough for what we needed

You could literally hear next door using the bathrooms, not restful if you have a busy day

The staff were amazing. All of them were kind, friendly polite and beyond helpful. Special thanks to Dimitria. The cleaning team did amazing job every day as well. The room was clean warm and spacious. The hotel was in the center of the city close to at least 3 of the main bus stops in Reykjavík. We also had breakfast in the cozy and cute lobby area where you can also order drinks if you want. In the common area of the hotel they are serving you free coffee or tee, cake and croissants through the cold days which serves them with bonus points. Definitely recommend!

Nothing

This was my second time at this hotel and both stays were excellent. The beds are the most comfortable in any hotel I’ve stayed at in Reykjavik and although small this time, the bathroom was very functional with a small washbasin in the room itself. Design of the rather small room was clever and tasteful. All the staff I met were helpful, friendly and casual, which for me is important. I had light meals on two occasions, excellent, and I really liked that the small bar/restaurant was popular with other Icelanders - it’s only a couple of minutes away from proper downtown area and still it feels different. I need to stay in Reykjavik at least once a month, and this hotel will now always be my first choice. Simply excellent.

The location was brilliant. The staff were lovely. Breakfast was nice (not the most extensive but all that I needed). It has a nice bar/restaurant downstairs for a few drinks in the evening.

I arrived to the hotel quite late and I wish I'd have asked for the heating to be turned on. In my tired state, I didn't notice the chilly temperature until after I fell asleep. When reported this the next morning , the heater was turned on quickly. I maybe should have had a better look for it myself but the day's travel meant I went straight to bed!

Really good location, close to bus stop #4 which was on the pick up route for all day tours. The staff were amazing, really friendly and super helpful with giving suggestions on what to do in Reykjavik. Special shout out to Gael, he helped me organise transport to my next hotel when the hotel were not helpful at all and gave no info! He checked my route on google maps and when he realised I was staying in a remote place where the taxi app wasn’t likely to work, he called taxi companies to make sure I could get a taxi there and that they go to my location. My next hotel was near to Selfoss but the hotel didn’t specify which bus stop is best, so Gael looked at all of them and advised me the best one. He’s amazing, I would have been lost without him! Also the hotel has free tea, coffee and juice throughout the day which is great if you’re going around Reykjavik or need a drink before heading out for the day.

The rooms are not sound proof and you can hear everything from your neighbours, including when they shower - I woke up in the middle of the night thinking there was a leak in my room and water was pouring in, because the person in the room above was showering and you could hear the water so loudly it’s like they shower in your room.

Super friendly kind staff, cute property full of character, cosy vibe, very comfortable bed, large bathroom, lots of space for luggage, excellent breakfast (best porridge and club sandwich I’ve had in a long time!). The location was excellent.

I couldn’t get a good coffee at breakfast despite there being a coffee machine behind the bar. Only filtered available. I would have happily paid for a real one. It’s not a quiet property as it’s an old building which has been renovated (to a high standard). You can hear the bar customers (but when it’s closed - at a reasonable time - it is quiet) and in the morning you can hear the staff setting up even though they make efforts to be quiet. I was in the basement room which I didn’t like - as a woman on her own I didn’t like that the window opened on to the street and the door was by the service area. Ask for a higher floor if you’re a solo woman traveler. Other than that it was a cute cosy stay.

Location is great! It’s on a quiet street close to the centre and free on street parking nearby. The bar/restaurant in the hotel is lovely, modern and cosy and the food and drinks are great! Lovely hot powerful shower and super comfortable bed. We all slept so well. The staff are all friendly and helpful and respond quickly to any queries. I’d definitely return and stay here again.

In hindsight I should have paid for a bigger room, it was too small for the two of us staying for 6 nights - there wasn’t much storage space for our bags and one person had to climb over the other to get out of the bed at night. The shower could have done with a door on it to avoid water going all over the floor. I would have liked the sink to be in the bathroom and a smaller tap so easier to wash face. The room was also rather dimly lit so hard to do your makeup. Our friends had a different room which had a light in the mirror- this would have been nice in ours.

Everything, they really tried hard. And the position is amazing - very center of the city.

It’s not that I didn’t like it but there are only few little things connected with the local gym that I used pretty often: - entrance door is low, I guess 185 cm. I’m 190 so I had to really pay attention when going through. You should mark it with warning, somebody could get knocked out like this :-/ - there is enough space in the gym for Swedish ladder and I strongly recommend you install them. It’ll open so many opportunities for different training actions and it won’t practically occupy any place at all
