Awful all together, staff are lovely but the hotel needs some serious work! Rooms are like shoe boxes, the water pressure is awful, windows don’t close properly, it is noisy, the doors are impossible to close without slamming, the beds are so springy/bouncy and uncomfortable, pillows are really bad.. the breakfast is nothing special really, there is bread, tiny selection of cheese/overly processed ham, granola, eggs, yogurt and that’s about it. I don’t think there was options for dietary requirements. The location is great, very convenient but that’s the only thing. I could go on, but I would just say save your money and hassle and go elsewhere. I couldn’t sleep for 4 nights and wish we left instead of accepting a new slightly larger room.

The location is what helps this property be worthwhile. The price for the week before Christmas was similar to two other much nicer hotels a short distance away but the people I was traveling with had stayed here previously & were insistant on booking here. The rooms are tiny! Im only 5'3 & I kept bumping into everything. Pluses are, good heating system, & nice hot water. Except, the hot water reeks like sulfur. Really bad! & the shower is super small. We had a room that was facing the church, so it was beautiful. Plus very close to lots of restaurants & shopping. After walking the whole city, the other two places I wanted to stay, are also very close to great dinning & shopping. One more plus here was the free parking right across the street. You do share it with the public, so its first come first serve, but I found a spot each time. If you do tours, the bus pickup is a short walk across the street. I dont eat breakfast so I cant comment on that. But the free hot cocoa is nice. Hospitality in Iceland is....different. The people are very cold, dont expect a warm hello no matter what language you speak. Rooms were cleaned daily, housekeeping was very friendly & nice, she was not Icelandic. There was no gym or work out facility, bare bones amenities. But its a charming location. And really in a place like Iceland, how much time do you spend in the room.

The hotel is in a very good location. Although the room was nice the lights in the room were very dim. The light had a dimmer but the highest setting was dim. I found it difficult to read small print and had to use the bathroom light if I needed to read something.

Enjoyable stay, we got to view the Hallgrimskirkja from our window, which was great! The only downside to that particular room was the roof was slanted, and we were on the top floor so the ceiling was as well, so you couldnt stand all the way up in the room in about half of it, and couldnt sit up in bed in the one side.

Although the room was smaller than expected we had a fabulous view of Hallgrimskirkja, and we were within easy walking distance of the major sites in old Reykjavik. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The "queen" bed was two twin beds pushed together with a cover across the gap, but we had a comfortable sleep. Definitely add the breakfast option to your stay if you are an early riser as most coffee shops don't open until 9-10 am.
