  Good location, service and price. The beds are unconfortable and there aren't enough wc.

  First thing to say about the Capital Inn is that in my book it is not a true hotel, more of a hostel with a couple of en suite rooms. That's ok, but the room I booked was described as a deluxe and was anything but. I guess deluxe in Iceland means en suite. Much of the accommodation on the island is geared towards travellers who just need a place to crash so if you need a few creature comforts choose something closer to the city centre. Plus points were that the ho(s)tel was clean and the staff were pleasant. It was cheap but accessible to town. Decent bus service nearby. Downside is that the room I had was riddled with black mould, the bathroom/shower was pretty "bedsit" and the furniture was ancient. No food available on Sunday after breakfast. WiFi was free but iffy. I would say that the accommodation falls into the category "served a purpose" and to be honest it was really busy. If you don't mind roughing it a bit then it's ok. If I return to Iceland I'll probably try and get something in the city.

  This place is interesting, I will say the staff is friendly and the breakfast was not bad. I found it fascinating that the hot water was volcanic but that did mean a little sulfur smell, I didn't mind it but I could see some people not being a fan. The room I got was on the third floor and of course there is no elevator so I had to lug large suitcases up the stairs. Then it took me a while to find my room itself as it was hidden behind another door not with all the other rooms on that floor. The room was small but had a loft with the second bed for my friends. Additionally it is a short walk to the Perlan Museum which also has a free shuttle bus into town so while it is a bit away from town it is still easy and free to get there. While at first glance the hotel may look a bit dirty and rundown it was overall a very positive experience.

  We stayed at Capital inn for a short winter break. The whole place was warm & clean. We had b&b, breakfast was good with a wide, unlimited choice. There was also a communal guest kitchen which we used for preparing other meals. This was clean with an ample supply of utensils, plates, mugs, cutlery etc. Iceland is very expensive, but we considered the price we paid for our stay to be good value.

  Spent night in shared dormitory, price is very good compared to other hotels, it could use more plugs in the bedrooms, but there are plenty in the kitchen/living room. Also there is only 2 bathrooms for whole shared dormitory, (3 stalls for women) which in the morning can get pretty busy. Far from center, there is one bus (n.°18) situated like 5 minutes from hotel, which takes you to the center. It says on their page that they rent bikes for their guests, but they DO NOT rent bikes at all!!! Receptionist were nice and kind. Overall pretty good for the price.
