Great Hotel in a Great Location

The hotel is a short walk from the bus stop. It’s on a main road, so there are shops and restaurants all around it. I was able to check in early for a small fee (less than $20). The hotel rooms are nice and large enough to sort through my bags. The breakfast was delicious. The only negative is that you do have to walk up a few steps to get in to the hotel. I would definitely stay here again!

Location location lication!

The location can't be beat! I stayed 2 seperate nights. The first night the room was tiny with two small single beds. Was right on main street with no soundproof. The second stat was much better, room was larger with doublebed, back side and quiet.

A great stay! Comfy beds, good staff, close to things, only drawback is you're right in the center of the nightlife area so you can expect to hear music and drunkenness and random yelling late into the evening.

I like that it was in the heart of the city, and the breakfast was included. I did not like that. There were two sets of stairs necessary to get to the elevator, which wasn’t clear and the hotel description. I chose the hotel because of the elevator, and it was very difficult, lifting suitcases of the steep stairs from the road to the interior of the building and then from the interior of the building to the elevator. Because there was only one small window the room was stuffy because it was warm and there was no air-conditioning. other hotels that I have stayed in in Iceland provide a fan so you can have air movement in the room.
