Brim Hotel - A self-check-in property with shared kitchen and free parking in East Reykjavík

Located 1 mile from Hallgrímskirkja Church in the East District, this 2-star Reykjavík hotel operates with a self-check-in system and no reception desk. Brim Hotel features single, double, and family rooms, each equipped with heating and either private or shared bathrooms with tub-shower combinations. A shared kitchen on the second floor provides 24/7 coffee access, storage cupboards, and refrigerator-freezers for guest use. The property includes a communal lounge, television area, and complimentary WiFi throughout. Free parking spaces are available directly outside the building on a first-come basis. The main shopping section of Laugavegur stands 984.3 ft away, while attractions like Harpa Concert Hall, Kringlan Shopping Mall, and Laugardalsholl Stadium are within walking distance. Brim's position puts guests 4 minutes on foot from central dining and entertainment venues.

Pros

Self-check-in system eliminates waiting time at reception

24/7 access to shared kitchen facilities with free coffee

Located 984.3 ft from Laugavegur shopping area

Some rooms offer views of sea, mountains, or lake

Cons

Bathroom facilities are shared for some room types

Parking spaces are limited and available on first-come basis

“The hotel's location strikes a nice balance: a quieter neighborhood still within easy walking distance of Reykjavik's attractions. I appreciate the modern self-check-in process; it streamlines the experience, especially for independent travelers. With well-equipped kitchens available, saving money by preparing your own meals becomes a real possibility in a city known for its high restaurant prices.”

comfy bedscoffee machinesmall roomworn-out headboard
The location is a short walk to the city center. A coffee machine with free coffee is available on the 2nd floor!!! Breakfast had a good selection of food and I really liked it. The beds were comfy too.
The room was small. The flooring and painting finishes in the room needed some work. I noticed the headboard needed replacement too.

i found a couple of things disappointing. the bathroom door was hard to close, and it. also, the promised free wi-fi didn't work at all , and nobody could help me fix it. it was frustrating.

The included breakfast offered fresh baked items. parking came with the stay. The bonus grocery store was nearby, around 500 meters away. it was open late!
the decor of the hotel had a dark tone, with mucky dark grey walls and ceilings!

surprisingly awesome!

ample parkingfree breakfastdelicious mealdistant location
I really enjoyed the ample parking! it was right in front of the building, made coming and going super easy. breakfast was included and it surprised me. A great perk. the loving hut restaurant is close by. they offer delicious meals at reasonable prices!
the location was a bit far from the city center. it added some travel time.
