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 base to explore downtown Reykjavik. We walked to museums, restaurants, and shops. The free parking next to the church across the street was also convenient. I’d stay again!

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.

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).

Liked: Staff & service
The staff are extremely friendly and helpful.Very accomodating and act promptly when asked for help. There is also a complimentary tea and coffee at the hotel lobby 24hrs so that is really great after a busy day out in a cold .The hotel room is quite comfortable but can do a bit of improvement like working television to help guest unwind and availability of kettle inside the room .But overall our stay was good and still recommended place to stay.
