Travel Inn

Buena ubicación y conveniente

Nada mal

Me alojé aquí por 3 días y 2 noches y me encantó la ubicación. Está a menos de 5 minutos a pie de la terminal de autobuses BSI, lo que fue increíblemente útil para un turista recién llegado. No tuve que preocuparme por perderme en mi primer día en el país, y la terminal de autobuses es donde todos los autobuses turísticos recogen y dejan a los huéspedes. El hotel también está a unos 10 minutos a pie de la iglesia Hallgrimskirkja, que sirve como un buen punto de referencia visual para orientarme mientras exploraba Reikiavik. La habitación era básica pero limpia, espaciosa y cómoda. La cocina compartida fue un lujo; recibí café gratis y pude hervir agua para mi ramen. No siempre fue fácil encontrar personal cuando lo necesitaba, pero una vez que lo hice, fueron increíblemente serviciales. En general, como viajero consciente del presupuesto, encontré que el Travel Inn tenía una excelente relación calidad-precio y realmente disfruté de mi estadía aquí.

Let's just say at the beginning.; Scandinavia is expensive. Let that not disguise the disgraceful way in which accommodation is run there. First of all, guesthouses are un-manned. You arrive and call the owners over to check you in. This took nearly 30 minutes!!. The beds are the worst kind of Ikea you can imagine.Take a look at the photos on here. They look uncomfortable and they are. The cheapest linen known to man. Take a look at the breakfast display. Shocking.It is deliberately done to make the most possible profit. The owner boldly admits that he just don't care. 'You can say what you want, I am very much booked all the year round' My booking was 59 Euros. I gave 60. 'we don't give change' he said.. Having said all this, other places in Iceland were pretty much the same. Scandalous!!

The place was dirty, holes in the sheets, the slats would not stay on bed and my brother in law even fell through his bed when he sat on the end of it. We had to open the window because one day we went different directions and only had one key, so we left the window open so he could let me know he was back and to let him in. Our cell phones did not work there. Then we opened it because the smell of Sulphur was so bad in our room we needed fresh air. Then in the morning while we were eating breakfast some man came in and yelled at us telling us we left the window open and all his profits were going out of if. He said we had gotten the room cheap and now he made no money. I did not tell us who he was but we think he might have been the owner but I did not introduce himself, so we aren't sure. He was very rude.

Yes, it's cheap. But that really is the only good thing that can be said about this dreary, grim place. The entrance is almost impossible to find, around the back of the building in an overgrown yard. It was dark and appeared abandoned when I arrived, even though I had made a reservation in advance. I had to go elsewhere, have someone telephone, and then return and wait for the receptionist to let me in. The owner/operator is so unfriendly it's almost comical. On the plus side, my room was clean and it was quiet. But under no circumstances would I ever stay there again.
