I had a room with a single twin bed and a small private bathroom. The location of this hotel is definitely a huge plus. The downside is that “free parking” is difficult to find. I was not able to check into my room early, which I knew was a gamble. Other than that, it was reasonably priced for its location and I wouldn’t mind staying here again.

Perfect place to stay in Reykjavik. Walking distance to the bus terminal and lots of fabulous restaurants and shops. Also a short walking distance to a nice path along the water. Lovely view of the Hallgrimskirkja church! The room was stylish and comfortable and the lounge area was very nice with complimentary coffee and water, and a small bar. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, happy to store luggage and offer suggestions for dining and excursions. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing location overlooking Hallgrimskirkja. Surprisingly quiet for how central the location is. There’s also free parking across the road at Hallgrimskirkja. Rooms are super dated and don’t look as cute as the photos. We had our own non-shared bathroom and it was a tiny wetroom style bathroom. The place had a hostel vibe. Still, it was clean, quiet and affordable so I can’t really complain.

Everything about this hotel was perfect for me. Great location in the heart of the city. Take the fly bus from the airport and get off at bus stop #8 and the hotel is across the street. This is also one of the bus stops for tours. We had the view of the beautiful Hallgrimskirkja church from our window. The rooms were a decent size. Very clean. Comfortably beds. The front desk people were all awesome. Very helpful. We didn’t eat breakfast but it looked really good. Hope to go back. I be will staying at this wonderful hotel again. Thank you so much.

The rooms are a little dated but it is conveniently located and good value for the price. Free parking is very close in the church. Breakfast was good and staff very helpful.

Room was great for a solo traveler. Front desk people were very nice. Room was cleaned daily. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean, including the bathroom. I would stay here again. I liked that it was conveniently located as well.

The hotel was clean and quaint. Breakfast food was okay and there was access to hot drinks 24 hours which was great. No restaurant at hotel but there is a bar, guessing not fully stocked by the look of it but adequate. Close to bus stop 8 for different tour pick up or airport transfer drop off.
