Perfect location. There are many restaurants, bakeries, and shops very close. There is a nice area to gather in the reception area. We booked a room with a view of the church and it was an amazing view.

10/10 Exceptional

So wonderful to stay across from the beautiful Hallgrimskirkja church and near all the shops and restaurants. Nearby parking is abundant, provided by public lots or street and only costs $2 an hour during the day and free at night. The lobby is open 24hrs and had an awesome superautomatic coffee machine so it's a nice place to retreat if you are up early due to jet lag. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Our room was nice and surprisingly quiet. We were on the top floor.

Had twin beds. Makes room a little smaller. If you have the beds together then it’s fine. Staff were wonderful. Bathroom shower is a little small but. The restaurant was nice to hang out in with the free hot chocolate or coffee.

I had an amazing experience at this hotel! The location is excellent, with convenient transportation, plenty of stores and restaurants nearby, and the famous church right in front of the hotel. The room was nice, clean, and comfortable, with a great bed. Breakfast was also excellent, with a little bit of everything and plenty of options to choose from. The customer service was truly outstanding. Everyone was very friendly and helpful with all of our questions. A special thank you to Adrian from Spain at the front desk. He was absolutely excellent and helped us so much with everything. He truly went above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service and made our stay even more enjoyable. I will definitely come back to this hotel. The amazing service and wonderful experience made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommended!.
