Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located right in the center of town, making everything easily accessible. The rooms are cozy with comfortable beds and a basin, but there are some drawbacks to consider. The service is efficient but lacks some essential amenities. The dining experience is satisfactory with smoked meats, and the facilities overall meet basic needs.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. It's perfectly located in the heart of Reykjavik, near the main shopping street and close to everything in downtown Reykjavik. The rooms were cozy and had all the necessary amenities, but the dining options were a bit lacking. The service was top-notch, and the hotel offered great value for money.
I couldn't have asked for a better location! Right in the heart of the city center, close to the main shopping street, this hotel was a gem. The rooms were cozy, with comfortable beds and a handy basin, providing a great stay. The service was top-notch, and the dining, especially the American pancakes, was a delightful surprise. However, it was a bit of a letdown being down a dodgy alleyway, but overall, a fantastic experience.
