Great hotel if you want to be within walking distance to everything in Reykjavík. The sleeper sofa was awesome to fit 3 in a room and with how expensive Iceland is it was great to have a fridge and stove for some meals

Enjoyed the stay thoroughly. And the food at the Scandinavian (attached family restaurant) was exceptional!!! Street parking seems like an issue at first thought - but it’s easy, and also free after 9 at night for at least 12 hours.
