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.
We needed a place to stay last minute and were able to get a room that satisfied our needs for a very good price. Our room had a window facing the front of Hallgrimskirkja church so the location was about as good as you can get in Reykjavik. It was close to many excellent restaurants and downtown shops.
The bathroom was very small (about 18 square feet, 1.7 square meters) but it did the job.
Breakfast was included with the room and was quite good. I had local Skyr each morning.
The staff were friendly and helpful . Fantastic views of the cathedral and really convenient for shopping and restaurants a very good option for the centre of town !

Great location, the staff were amazing and so helpful to us planning what we would do and best way to do it. Smaller rooms but lovely decor and we weren’t there to spend time in the room!
This hotel was OK, but not great. The location is good -- near bus stop 8 and in a very walkable area. Our room was pretty small for the price. It is 3 stories with no elevator so be prepared to lug your bags upstairs for floor 2 or 3 (the staff did offer to help).
I really like this location. The bus stop #8 for pick up tours is probably 2 mins walk from the hotel. Some attractions are in walking distance. It is so convenient that they have luggage storage. I got a single room and it is just enough to sleep.
Fantastic location with a short walking distance to many restaurants and attractions. Rooms are on the small side but very manageable. Would definitely recommend! Thanks for having us!
The room is clean and looks like the pictures they post. The location is great and convenient. The staff was very friendly and remembered who I was when I saw them at the front desk throughout my stay
Loved the local. Staff was super nice and accommodating. Rooms were clean, housekeeping did seem a bit rushed though. More of a small hotel experience than a large I’d say.
