Nice hotel, great location, annoying shaped room

Very nice hotel with great location. Only thing that was awkward was the shape of the floor 4 rooms, with it being in the roof and all it was slanted and made getting around the room difficult. Beyond that free coffee and by all the sights and cafes you need.

2025 Culture Night

The three day stay in one of the hotels solo rooms on the 2nd floor was met my expectation. The staff help me find my way around the city and book a tour and bus to the airport. The location is central to walking around central city. The only disappoint was the small bathroom and shower.

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect downtown place for a visit

This is located in the perfect spot for your Reykjavik stay, right downtown across from the big church. The service was top notch. Everyone was helpful and cheerful. The breakfast was great! They had a large and healthy selection for breakfast items that don’t need to be cooked while you wait. Our room was very small, but it was clean and cute. The beds weren’t amazing, but for less than a week they were perfectly fine. The bathroom was spacious and clean.
Taken from a window in our room!
