Great Location. User-friendly. Directly across from Bus Stop #8 on the right side of Hallgrimskirja church (when facing it). Many restaurants and local shops nearby. Above all, very nice and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Excellent staff, very nice breakfast, clean hotel, centrally located. Main complaint, really, is the lack of an elevator (difficult when arriving/leaving with heavy bags). Also, few tour operators pick up in that area for some reason. It's near a highly touristic area full of shops and restaurants, and that was nice. Would use it again.

Great location but no elevator. My room was on the 4th floor and I had to carry all of my bags up. Additionally, the bathroom was extremely small and very difficult to use shower.

It’s nice to be in the city close to so much. However the second building would be better with an elevator and the complimentary tea/ coffee available ( instead of walking across the street with a cup in hand)

The place was really convenient—centrally located and within walking distance of all the main spots. I mostly used it to store my things and get some rest since I spent most of my time on tours, and it worked perfectly for that.
