Clean and Friendly, but Hot and Dim
Aurora Nooks Hotel â KĂłpavogur, Iceland
The Good
The room was clean and well-equipped with practical amenities. Having a small kitchen with dishes and access to laundry down the hall was very convenient. Cleaning staff were consistently friendly and helpful.
Just Okay
The location is not central. Getting to downtown ReykjavĂk for shops and restaurants required either a longer walk or a short drive. Not a dealbreaker, but something to plan for.
The Bad
The biggest issue was room comfort. On sunny days, the window let in so much heat that the room became uncomfortably warm. The window only opened slightly, making cooling difficult. It seemed like other guests had the same problem, as a fire extinguisher had been left by the doorâlikely used to prop it open.
To block the heat, we had to keep the blinds closed, but then the lighting was very poor. The lights themselves were dim, and the unusual switches required holding them down for several seconds before turning on, which was frustrating.
Parking was also unclear. Our room guidebook listed no instructions, we couldnât access the garage, and there was no dedicated street parking. We eventually found spots nearby, but it sometimes meant walking a bit.
Overall
A clean, functional stay with helpful staff, but room heat, dim lighting, and unclear parking made the experience less comfortable. Best suited if you value self-catering amenities and donât mind being a little outside the city center.
