This hotel offers a cozy stay with excellent facilities and a convenient location for exploring downtown Reykjavik. The service was top-notch, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for guests. However, it lacks daytime relaxation spaces and could improve dining choices.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were compact and cosy, beautifully designed with lovely decor and toiletries. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly friendly and eager to assist with booking tours and providing helpful advice. The location was outstanding, close to all the attractions and restaurants while still offering a quiet atmosphere.

During my Icelandic travels, I found the hotel to be a charming place with a cozy room that, despite being on the small side, had the most comfortable bed. I particularly enjoyed the balcony, perfect for chilling wine and relaxing, along with the convenient option of a kitchonette.
I felt like I had my own little apartment in the amazing, comfortable, and lovely rooms. The friendly staff noticed it was my 30th birthday, making my stay extra special. The location is perfect, tucked away in a calm street yet meters away from the city's heart. The dining experience was simple but nice, setting me up for the day.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were amazing, especially with two huge balcony/terraces that had quirky cool decor. The location was perfect, just a 2-minute walk from everything in the center. The dining experience was quite good, although the food sometimes arrived cold due to external delivery.
Staying at this hotel feels like being in the countryside, yet with easy access to pubs, restaurants, and shops just around the corner. The minimalist style creates a perfect setting for a mini-break right in the heart of historic Reykjavik with convenient parking in front of the hotel. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, and the room layout is more akin to an apartment.
My stay at this hotel was exceptional. The rooms felt like a mini apartment with a modern kitchenette and lovely views from the balcony. The beds were cozy, and I especially enjoyed the coffee machine. The service provided was incredibly helpful and friendly, making my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The central location allowed for easy access to all the major attractions in town, which was perfect for me, especially with young children. The dining options were plentiful and fresh, just around the corner, and the facilities were top-notch. However, there were some limited storage options in the rooms and the breakfast was a bit limited in choices.
My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic. The rooms were spacious and had large outdoor spaces, perfect for enjoying the views of the parliament and town hall. The ability to cook breakfast and pack lunches for our day trips made our experience even more enjoyable. The service was stellar, going above and beyond to make our 3-night stay with the family memorable. The location couldn't have been better, offering easy access to all the main spots in the city. The dining options, though modest, suited us perfectly during our visit. Overall, an excellent choice for a comfortable stay.
