Day Dream Vesturgata 17 Reykjavik

What guests think

At Day Dream Vesturgata 17 Reykjavik, travellers highlight the very central, walkable location and warm, comfortable rooms, with an older building character that gives a straightforward place to sleep in the heart of the city.

Cleanliness is often praised, but several guests reported stained linens, mold in showers, or lingering odors. Facilities are basic, with shared or minimal kitchens, no elevator, and no on site parking, so expect to use nearby street or garage options. Self check in and communication are usually smooth and responsive, though some guests received incomplete or incorrect access details, and one reported an overpriced taxi arrangement. Expect a simple, well located base rather than full service hotel features.

Rooms were cleaned. Overall it was good stay. The only reason I cut one star is because of parking. This hotel doesn’t have parking, I have to look into different street for parking spot. Also I would recommend hotel to post the customer service phone number or email address in case of emergency as we had one and there was no way to contact person so I reached out to Orbitz customer service which they reach out to hotel. In summary I would recommend this hotel as rooms are cleaned and most of things are walkable distance.

This property is in a great location, but finding parking is a challenge at best, there isn't even a spot to stop for a minute to load luggage. Further, the suite smelled like wet dog, it needs a major cleaning. I was worried about my pet allergies being triggered.

Room itself was clean, there was a TV, kettle and fridge but no microwave as shown in the pictures. No cleaning during the stay so be prepared to re-use the provided towels for long stays or take your own. Shower gel, shampoo and toilet roll was provided. Room was on the second floor and no lift so be prepared to carry suitcase up flights of stairs. Luggage storage was quite fiddly to open and felt risky (there were no padlocks, despite being told there were). Area was good, close to restaurants, rainbow street and the marina with bus connections.

Unser Aufenthalt dort war okay, aber so richtig sauber war es nicht. Zur Kaffeemaschine gab es keinen Kaffe und auch keine Löffel, zumal die Tassen jetzt auch nicht sonderlich sauber waren. Insgesamt hat uns das ganze eher an ein besseres Hostel erinnert. Schön war aber, dass das ganze sehr Zentrumsnähe gelegen war und mehr als schlafen muss man dort ja auch nicht.

Pros: Perfect location Spacious and clean Quick responses to questions via email Extra supplies readily available Cons: small electrical issue but the owner was there almost immediately with help. Lighting was still not working afterwards but we made do. Good to know: I saw reviews about people claiming they were given the wrong door code when they checked in but we had no issues. The check in directions were very clear. Do not expect a modern new luxury building. These are older buildings but have everything you need along with a lot of Icelandic charm!! I would definitely stay here again.

I was solicited for its taxi service arrangement by claiming its rate much more affordable than public taxi which is totally a lie. I was convinced by its very emotional expression but in the end the driver asked an amount of even 10 % higher than market rate, which is incredibly at EURO 160. Simple question, why make you believe worthwhile to solicit such an expensive service to a guest who choose this budget residence?
