The budget Hotel Cabin is situated in the peaceful suburb of Borgartun, with picturesque views over the bay, two kilometres from the shops, restaurants and vibrant nightlife in the city centre. The 153 simple guestrooms, over six floors, feature simple, light decor with mahogany furniture. All offer satellite television, telephones and wireless Internet access. Hair dryers and microwaves are available on request. Most rooms overlook the bay, but some face the corridor offering respite from the sunlight on the longer summer days.
Travellers can browse complimentary newspapers in the lobby, check emails with wireless Internet access throughout the hotel, and relax in front of the television in the lounge. Practical amenities include a 24 hour front desk, safe deposit boxes, and free onsite parking. Nearby attractions include the parks, zoo and botanical gardens in the hot spring valley of Laugardalur, 700 metres away, and the golden sands of the geothermal beach, Nautholsvik, which is five kilometres away. Reykjavik Keflavik Airport is 55 kilometres from the hotel, a 45 minute drive.
