Really nice room in a super convenient location. The elevator is tiny and felt a little like an amusement park ride, but I was very pleased with this hotel. Good soundproofing from the bar/restaurant downstairs.

Lovely space w great breakfast
Modern, clean and a decent size for European accommodations. The locally sourced breakfast was Amazing and we were sad to miss it our last day because of a very early flight. Staff was always kind and helpful if a little slow to get to things sometimes.

Excellent in every aspect
I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and everything went smoothly. My room was downstairs and although on the smaller side, it was perfect for one. The bathroom was excellent and the bed ever so comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful, and both the drinks and small dishes at the bar/restaurant were tasty. I will stay there again.

Really nice, cozy hotel in the heart of Reykjavik. They have a super nice little bar/restaurant as well where we had drinks. Clean and nice rooms, and friendly staff. The only downside was that when we asked if we could check in early, they said we would have to pay 20 euros extra, even for just 30 minutes earlier.
