    Rather noisy but I guess it is to be expected when you sleep in the center of the city.

    Perfect location, excellent bed and very helpfull and friendly staff.

    Although it’s across from Hallgrimskirkja there were multiple times late night walkers passed by or street traffic work you up.

    The location is great! It was nice to enjoy the lounge area while you waited. Staff was really nice.

    The great location is the biggest bonus. We enjoyed walking from this central spot in the city. Although we were comfortable the room was a bit small with two suitcases. Too bad there is no elevator! Thank you for your hospitality.

    Everything was fine and in accordance with the price of the room. There was a slight amount of noise from the street with tourists walking by, but it was not excessive by any means. With the fabulous location right across from the church, that is to be expected.

    We didn’t have a room that included breakfast, although we had the option to pay directly for it. We especially appreciated that we could go into the breakfast room area at any time of day to enjoy free tea or coffee. The lounge area where this was available was very pleasant, with comfortable seating and an attractive decor. That was a real bonus for this hotel.

    We were put in a room on level 4 which has very low ceilings. Our ensuite was tiny compromising of a toilet and shower in the one small combined space. My husband is tall, over 190cm and this room was very awkward. I was hitting my head on the roof and I am only 163cm tall.

    Some of the staff were super friendly others not so much. Right across the street from the Hallgrímskirkja Church makes this a great location.

    a bit expensive but when you realize when is situated the hotel, you understand why. Wish I had the money to stay there longer.

    Is in the center of the town, very accessible, can walk to almost anywhere from there, restaurants and busy life of Reykjavik easily accessible. Love the place.

    We arrived late (~2330), which I indicated as being our arrival time when I booked. We both tried the door handle to the building and could not open the door, called the only phone line we could find repeatedly, with no answer, and rang the camera doorbell repeatedly over a 30-45 minute timeframe. We could see through the windows that there was no one in the front lobby/reception through this time. I finally started trying to find a different hotel, and thankfully we called one last time, to which the line was finally answered by the receptionist who said they'd been there the whole time and the door was unlocked. Subsequently had no issue, but it was an offputting start. Room was small, which I had no problem with, but the layout of the furniture was awkward. Also out of 10+ hotels we stayed at in Iceland, this was one of only 2 which had a very strong sulfur smell whenever you ran the hot water. I guess this is more due to source than the hotel itself, it was just a bit overpowering even for a short shower.

    Best location I could have asked for - easy walking distance to some great restaurants and shops, food carts right across the street along with the beautiful church and a statue garden, easy acces to the main roads. Room was nice and quiet despite being over the busy street, and overall layout is quite nice (each set of rooms has it's own vestibule area from the main floor to help with hallway noise). Didn't affect us, but there are no elevators.

    Try not to get a room facing the church in the summer. Very noisy tourists at the church plaza til late at night.

    Perfect location across from church. Close to great restaurants and shopping.

    There are two buildings and i had key issues for all the days i was there - kept on running between buildings. They need to solve that!

    The staff was very friendly and took care of any key issues. The location is amazing - all of my day tours left from the church parking lot right across the street. There is a small grocery store nearby for snacks. Easy walking to all the restaurants and shopping areas

    Its a bit tricky with car parking. It was written that they have car parking but they just recommend to use public parking on the other side of the square free of charge which could be busy. So actually they dont have car parking

    The lack of an elevator was a surprise. The rooms were small but adequate. The breakfast seemed highly priced for what was offered.

    The staff at the reception desk was outstanding. Since there was no elevator the receptionist helped to get my bag to the room and did it cheerfully. They also helped to book my bus tickets to return to the airport. The rooms were clean and the location is great.

    From the information of Hotel, regarding parking place, you get understanding that there is parking place at the hotel. Actually the parking place is around the close Church of Hallgrimskirkja and it is was very crowded. Luckily we managed to find place for our rental car. Also Europecar rental place (if you have booked rental car from City center point) is not next to Hotel (their webpages show wrong), it is straight Line from hotel 2,2 km.along the Njardargata (cross the big road) and takes 30 min walking. Church is very near and you can hear the bells clearly every 15 minutes starting round am 9-10. Luckily not during night(ends playing 21-22). A bit noisy - (lot of tourists looking the Church and there is 2 Food vans and Popular Restaurant ROK) next to Hotel.

    Very central place, you cant miss the Hotel because it is next to Hallgrimskirkja. Good and friendly staff.
