The room was basic but clean and had everything we needed. The shower was hot and the bed comfy. Perfect location, 3 minute walk from Laugavegur, close to the harbour and a lovely viewing spot out to sea and the northern lights if you’re lucky! Parking at the hotel is expensive but there is cheaper parking close by.

Would NOT return

Felt extremely dirty, tired and dated. The shower was so small, with a curtain and uninviting I did not even shower as we went to the Sky Lagoon where I showered instead. We stayed at 7 hotels during our visit to Iceland and this was by far the worst. May have been the worst hotel we have ever stayed at.

Good location within walking distance to lots of attractions and restaurants. The room was clean and the price was good for Reykjavík. A few things could be clearer though: parking isn’t free, and the hot water has a sulfur smell (common in Iceland but would’ve been nice to know ahead). The shower was tiny with curtains that kept sticking, which was a bit annoying. Overall, good price, great location, and perfect for a short stay in the city.

Hotel was fine gir overnight stay. It would be nice if the restaurant was open in the evening as I didn’t see any near restaurants If you are taking the Flybus to the airport, the bus stop is on the next major street. Streets to the stop are rough and it’s hard pushing a case uphill to the stop.
