Very nice hotel in the center of Reykjavik. Plenty of parking and quirt area.

Great staff!

The most helpful ladies at the reception desk. Helped me with tours and also helped me when my bus transfer to the airport didn’t show up. Will definitely stay again.

Anchor point of a great trip!

Excellent location for a short trip in Reykjavík. Great service from friendly staff. Beautiful view of the Hallgrimskirkja from our room window.
Paul, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location! Good service!

Front desk super helpful. She helped us booked the Blue Lagoon tour and 3 hour early check in. Just keep in mind that there’s extra fee for this. I think it was 1,500 kronas per hour but not 100% sure. Awesome breakfast!! Love the tuna egg salad and pickled herring. No elevator but the floors are very accessible even if you have big suitcases due to very short stairsteps. Perfect location. Would definitely come back to this hotel for next visit:))

Great location and Service

Location was excellent as was the service. Bathrooms are a little strange with raised floors and no separate shower pan.
Andrew, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

A good choice

This hotel had a lovely breakfast and a great location across from the iconic cathedral. The building is old and has been retrofitted over the years, so some of the features are a bit clunky like the shower and washroom. I also found the bed mattress to be sagging, enough that it was uncomfortable after several hours of sleep. However, the pros definitely out-weighed the cons and I would be happy staying here again if the opportunity arose.

Perfect location, excellent view of the church. Walkable to many restaurant and Bus stop 8. Simple but good breakfast. clean and comfortable
Yvette, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location

Great location! The room was quite small- we were visiting Iceland as part of a longer international trip so we had one big suitcase and found it difficult to open it in the room but that really didn’t bother us. It was easy to park across the street and you can walk all around town from the hotel

Wonderful inn, great location! Maria went above and beyond to help us with our tv. Our new best friend!
Katherine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location

We had 2 rooms in the main part of the hotel. It was minus 5 putside, big dumps of snow and we struggled to be able to close a window. Overall stay was good. Great location, friendly staff, good breakfast (no cooked option), and rooms were a decent size, although both had 2 single beds.

Gregory, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

I would pay people to not stay here -

This was the worst hotel experience in my life. Upon an hour of being there the fire alarm in my room went off from a less than 10min shower ( windows were open ) this happened over thrrr times while there. I was repetitively told it wouldn’t happen again/ not the case…. I was woken up by someone who works there banging on my door for literally no reason after being up for hours due to fire alarm in middle of night. I was told I would be compensated for this horrible beyond experience and I have not seen any refund on my account. Please advice -

I stayed one night before a hiking hut to hut trip on the Laugavagur and on night after. The hotel was able to keep my extra luggage on premises for a fee, what was very convenient!
