Fantastic base to explore downtown Reykjavik. We walked to museums, restaurants, and shops. The free parking next to the church across the street was also convenient. I’d stay again!

Loved the local. Staff was super nice and accommodating. Rooms were clean, housekeeping did seem a bit rushed though. More of a small hotel experience than a large I’d say.

The staff are extremely friendly and helpful.Very accomodating and act promptly when asked for help. There is also a complimentary tea and coffee at the hotel lobby 24hrs so that is really great after a busy day out in a cold .The hotel room is quite comfortable but can do a bit of improvement like working television to help guest unwind and availability of kettle inside the room .But overall our stay was good and still recommended place to stay.

Property is quite old and not in amazing condition, but the staff and location are excellent. Fine for a bed for one night but wouldn’t want to stay longer. Quite dark and dingy.

Best part is closeness to Big church and shopping. Room is very small, couple persons of staff were not very friendly, but other were. Location is great, but pricey.
