We enjoyed our stay at the Brim Hotel! The rooms were spacious and clean! After a long trip around the ring road for 10 days we enjoyed our last two nights at the Brim Hotel! Very relaxing! Within walking distance from everything you can think of!

First off, this property is not really a hotel. It is more like a HOSTEL with shared kitchen, shared toilets, and shared shower stalls. There is NOBODY available on-site if you had a housekeeping related question or situation, if you needed any concierge service, if the toilet was stinking and needed housekeeping attention, if you had an issue with your assigned room, if the bulb was out, if the coffee machine wasn't working, etc. All you have is a number to call, which noone ever picks up. Only a ghost sends a text message and you’re at the mercy of how efficiently a text msg resolves your need. The place is OLD and DARK... see the pictures online. It makes the place feel gloomy. DO NOT STAY HERE.

Clubbing Hostel More than Hotel
Brim Hotel is one of those no reception things common in Iceland, but the lockbox is shared across multiple floors of rooms, which doesn’t seem like a great system since someone could take your key by mistake. Worse, it’s one of the shared bathroom dorm style lodgings. That’s sort of okay if it’s clear on the listing and the bathrooms are clean, but one was not and the other wouldn’t flush. The rooms need a good de-smoking of the fabrics, I needed to leave open the window to try and air out as my wife has asthma. I appreciate the attempt to make common spaces filled with art and all, but think the units need some updating to bring them up to the standard the pictures and listing imply. The bunk beds were also pretty wobbly up top. This all would have been fine for a lower priced stay directed to college students on holiday, just not for any families. If you are considering this place, know it’s more of a clubbing hostel than a hotel and choose whether your stay is priced appropriately from that context.

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.

Average Stay
I had been emailing the hotel through Hotels app and direct some days before to ask about early check in, no reply. On arrival the door code I got sent did not work, I had to call and the code had changed, the room was very small, and shared bathrooms were cold with no heating. Breakfast was poor, and some items were already gone and not replenished.

Hostel feel- but warm and comfortable
Hostel vibe- some shared bathrooms etc.. average basic breakfast. It is a 12/15 minute walk down to centre which is convenient for able bodied people..it is warm and comfortable. Good selection of teas but no black breakfast tea available ..Good body lotion/ shampoos /conditioner etc Staff and cleaning staff work hard. They cleaned my room well. Management need to spend money to improve facility. The building badly need refurbishment/investment- fresh paint, replace damaged paintings.. damaged couch...buy new bath towels.. stained carpet needs shampoo..

It was very difficult to find a parking while it’s mentioned there’s a parking available. I couldn’t stay more than 5 minutes in the room because the entire furniture, bed, pillows and curtains were smelling smoke and cigarettes. When I contacted the management, they weren’t able to offer me another room and they suggested I reach out to Expedia for a refund. Expedia confirmed that the property management rejected the refund request.

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.
