Hotel Cabin

Hotel Cabin is a budget hotel at Borgartún 32 in the 105 district of Reykjavik, Iceland. Borgartún is the capital's main business street, lined with offices and banks, and runs close to the seafront walking path along Sæbraut. The downtown old town and Laugavegur are about a twenty-minute walk to the west, and city buses along Borgartún and the nearby Hlemmur bus hub connect to the centre and to other parts of the capital region. The area is quiet in the evenings and at weekends, since it is mostly a commercial district, which suits visitors who want to sleep well on a lower budget. The hotel is built around the idea of compact cabin-style rooms, a space-efficient design similar to a ship's cabin, with the focus on a clean bed and basic facilities rather than extensive service. It is classed in the budget category with indicative double-room rates from roughly ISK 12,000 to 20,000 per night, which is low for Reykjavik, where lodging costs are generally high. Room types include Single Cabins and Double Rooms. Amenities listed are Wi-Fi and a shared kitchen, so guests can prepare simple meals, which helps limit costs in a country where eating out is expensive. The hotel does not advertise a restaurant, spa or pool, so breakfast and dining are usually arranged at nearby cafés and bakeries or from supermarkets in the area. Service character is minimal and practical, aimed at solo travellers, backpackers, cyclists and budget-conscious couples. The seafront path nearby is popular for walks and cycling, with views across Faxaflói bay to Mount Esja and the Sun Voyager sculpture within walking distance to the west. Guests arriving by Flybus from Keflavik Airport can transfer at the central bus terminal and continue by city bus or taxi to Borgartún.
