Liked: Cleanliness
The idea of having a self check-in hotel is great, and convenient but sending the details to actually check in when you're standing out front (since most travelers need wi-fi to access emails) isn't overly convenient. Someone should oil the hinges of the doors as every single one of them creek. The property itself is quite clean and actually pretty cool, just needs some extra thought to bring it up a notch on making it perfect. The breakfast served in the morning was quite good, enough options to fill you up. The wi-fi is strong, but only in the common areas, it basically doesn't work in the rooms. All in all, not a bad place to stay (about 20 min walk to downtown Reykjavik).

Nice hotel if you don't want to spend lots!

Some nice touches in the hotel (coffee machine with biscuits & social areas) Good breakfast but limited seating area. Good size room, very comfy bed! Some bathrooms would benefit from some upgrade. Location wise, not too much of a walk into the centre and parking was on the street.

Our stay was OK. Be aware that if you have a car there is limited parking without signs that threaten be towed away. The lack of employees that can help with problems was inconvenient.

I loved the industrial vibe of this property. It was about a 25-30min walk in to the centre of Reykjavik which was an easy walk but I should have looked in to closer locations. The room had a slightly funny smell but was very quiet and comfortable. And the reception was very responsive when I asked for a hairdryer - they had staff drop one off within 30mins

We had a pleasant 3-night stay here. It's a little out of town but only takes 15 minutes or so to walk to the main eating and shopping area. The reception staff are off-site but the cleaning and catering staff were extremely helpful (e.g., we didn't receive an email in advance with check-in instructions, but everyone was very supportive and sorted it out quickly). The rooms and breakfasts are fine.

The staff was cold and unaccommodating. Lights were broken in room and room was different from website photos. If staying here again, I’d opt for the cheapest option or pay more to stay in a more hotel like place.

I have to say I was a little skeptical at first based on some of the negative reviews, but we were very pleasantly surprised by & pleased with the Brim Hotel! The check-in process was seamless with all the details provided to us via email. Our room was very spacious & comfortable—not to mention the high quality Solely organic shampoo, conditioner, & shower gel that I LOVED! The complimentary tea & coffee machine on the second floor was a very nice amenity, & we loved the breakfast! The croissants were the best I’ve had in a very long time! Additionally, the virtual concierge was extremely accommodating & granted us a late check out of 1pm for FREE! I challenge anyone to find all of these features at a remotely comparable price in Reykjavik! Thank you for a high quality stay at an affordable price!

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Just okay.

During our stay, we found the accommodations to be uninspiring. The breakfast was lacking, and we were surprised to find that the room we booked did not have its own bathroom as we had thought. The check-in process was confusing, and the property itself was dark and dreary. Additionally, the free parking was extremely limited with only a few available slots in front of the hotel. Many of the parking spots around the property belong to other businesses, so it's important to be cautious. While the place wasn't terrible, it wasn't our favorite among the places we've stayed at in Iceland.

Unpleasant surprise

When making the reservation it to me looked like there was a private bathroom as part of the room. When arriving we realised that toilet and shower was only available at the hallway. That does not work for us and since there is no reception at the Brim we could not ask if other options existed and therefore decided to book another hotel.

Quaint hotel, you have to wait for a code to enter the main door and a code to a lockbox to get the room key there is no hotel staff, rooms are basic but the bed was super comfy there’s no tv in the room which is odd for a hotel but I guess I wouldn’t understand anything if there was one lol.. there’s a lovely coffee bar on the 2nd floor with teas and cookies the 3rd floor had a chess table and the 1st had endless books ro read.the breakfast was perfect a mix of juices breads eggs pancakes crepes and cheeses and the best part was free parking. Overall a little pricy for what you get but it’s Iceland everything is expensive.

Was not aware we didn’t have our own bathroom/shower, and that facilities were communal. Room was both hard to make dark during midnight sun, and noisy through the night as others used the floor bathrooms that neighboured our unit.
