This hotel was in such a perfect location. Walking distance to everything in town including bus stops for tours.

Lovely hotel very centrally located within easy reach of Reykjavik’s shops, restaurants and sights/activities. Super comfy bed and top quality bedding. Although there are no cooked breakfast options, the quality of the continental breakfast and range of options on offer, is superb. The freshly baked bread was particularly good! As was the smoked salmon.
