Extremely noisy on both Friday and Saturday…both music and loud, drunk people. For the cost of the room, this was unacceptable.
Moreover I am a titanium loyalty member of Marriott (the affiliate loyalty program for this hotel) so expected a better room
Definitely will not be staying here again
Location, location, location. I have to admit it was hard to find, but it is located in the heart of the action. Hotel is on the south west corner of Hverfisgata and Ingolfsstraeti. There is a Taxi only parking right in front, use that to check in if you have a car. The parking is really tight. We were doing sight seeing so we wanted a car. For exploring the heart of Reykajavik you don't need a car and a taxi to this location would help. It is a small hotel 36 rooms I think, but they are really nice rooms. Bed was excellent. Compared to Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm (no hotel under $600/night) the bed was the best of all of them. Staff was super helpful in getting around town and checking in the hotel. I would not hesitate to go again.
After a four year foreign travel hiatus due to the pandemic and puppies, we embarked on our first journey since Krakow in 2019. First stop Reykjavik. The 101 staff warmly welcomed us after our overnight flight. They had a room ready upon our arrival and we grabbed a much needed comfortable nap. The folks at reception assisted us in booking two excursions. The recommended small group northern lights tour was a major success. We lucked out on a great night for viewing. The team at reception also assisted with airport transport at 5am on day of departure. Iceland can be quite pricey, but if the 101 fits into your budget and your plans include a few evenings in Reykjavik we would recommend .
Very disappointed. I am literally sitting on the floor by the desk as I write this.We booked this hotel using our Marriott point. We are plantinum. First thing we noticed, no USB charger anywhere in the room. Only two plugs, one is under the desk and the other by the toilet. No charging or plugs at either nightstands. Literally this room s designed to charge two devices within 5ft from your bed. My husband and I literally arguing which devices has priority charging.
Attention Bonvoy Members, this hotel does not honor status. No free breakfast or upgrades, as matter of fact, front desk said they are not legitimate Marriott chain.
For Marriott members, I recommend Edition. It is so much better. We came to Iceland and started there. Great hotel and restaurant. 101 tries to be hip. They fail. How is a hipster hotel not have one USB. There are only two IS plugs. One is midway on the wall and the other is sort of in the bathroom. But on the wall without a ledge. But lights have power under the bed, but you have no access. I normally like a more traditional hotel, but can like a hipster too. But a hipster without any power is ridiculous. And if your platinum expect zero breakfast. The rooms are small, have no power, no status benefits. Stay at Edition.
