Excellent location! Convenient to everything in downtown Reykjavik. My only suggestion would be to have someone help with luggage. We noticed a lot of older people who struggled getting their luggage into the hotel since drop off is located on the backside.

In the Middle of Everything.

Nice hotel in the middle of city center. Breakfast is included with stay. Would be nice if the hotel offered free water/ coffee in the lobby during the day. It should be included for the price per night this hotel charges. That aside, I would stay here again.
