This hotel is located in the center of all stores and restaurants in Reykjavik. Everything we needed was in walking distance.
Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a hotel, which was amazing! The space was clean and very comfortable. The staff was kind and very welcoming.
Would definitely stay here again..and again...

Loved our stay here! The breakfast was amazing!!! And the location couldn't better!! The room was spacious and had more space than we needed. It was so nice to have a couch to relax in after walking the sitting. Parking is limited, so if you'd like to reserve a spot, reach out ahead of your stay to ensure you have one if you have a car. I loved not having to worry about finding a spot on the street. We were on the 2nd floor overlooking the street and the room was very quiet and the view was fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel!!!

Clean room but it was cold in the room. When we arrived the window was open even though it was -1 degrees and snowing outside. The breakfast was sufficient but nothing special. The location was probably one of the best you can get in Reykjavik!

We arrived earlier than check in time and our room was ready which was brilliant. Not only that we got upgraded to an apartment for no extra fee! The apartment had a spacious and clean bathroom with hair and body wash provided. The kitchen had all the utensils you could think of. The room was clean and the beds were ridiculously comfortable.
Breakfast in the morning was our of this world!
Juice, tea and coffee, pastries, cheese & ham with some salad too. Plus a yoghurt and cereal bar with nuts and honey etc. Absolutely brilliant.
The breakfast sitting area was quite small for all the guests (maybe a suggestion for the staff to sit guests at tables instead? It looked like 1 person was taking a table for 4 at times).
All that said, 100% recommend to stay as a stop in Reykjavik. If I could give 10 start I would. Staff were very helpful and welcoming at all times.
Brilliant all round!
