From the early check in after a long flight to the convenient check out it was perfect. Felt very welcome and the management provided the best tips on dining and excursions. Will definitely stay at the same hotel when I return to Iceland.

Little gem in the heart of Reykjavik
We loved this hotel. Gisi at the front desk was a wealth of information on things to do, places to go. The hotel was clean, quiet and had a beautiful view off the balcony. It was in the middle of everything - we walked a ton which was really easy with their location. The design was funky and cool. Would highly recommend.

Hotel in center of Reykjavik.
Nice hotel in the center of Reykjavik, close to the central shopping street.
The placement also results in some noice during the night from the bars in the area.
