4-night trip

10/10

When I said that I had a walker, they assigned me to the first level in order to make it easier for my whole stay. The hotel's location is fantastic. It is opposite Reykjavik's famous church and within easy walking distance of the restaurant Kol (creative presentation and taste) and the optional Loki.

Very nice hotel in the center of Reykjavik. Plenty of parking and quirt area.
1-night trip

10/10

The hotel was very comfortable, and the staff was very nice. The room was fine, as well. The only drawback was that they had no elevator. Three flights of stairs with bags was no fun! But the location was great!

Great location, the staff were amazing and so helpful to us planning what we would do and best way to do it. Smaller rooms but lovely decor and we weren’t there to spend time in the room!

1-night trip

10/10

Great hotel with excellent location, if you only have a day at Reykjavík this is the place to stay because all touristic spots are walking distance. The girl at the front desk during mornings and another lady named Sophie were so helpful. Breakfast was fresh and good (specially a black bread). The room was a little small but clean and cozy with a beautiful window view of Hallgrimskirkja.

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!

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.

Nice hotel, we could walk to most places within 10-15mins. Next to bus stop 8. Good selection for continental breakfast.
