    There was parking but this was dependent on other users visiting the church so a space is not guaranteed, but was free. There was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room.

    The location was beautiful and close to main part of city with a lovely view of the church. Decor was very stylish and very up market. Staff friendly and happy to help.

    It doesn't have elevator, which is a problem when you have heavy luggage :S

    Location is excellent, it is in front of the church. Staff is friendly and helpful. Luggage can be stored till check in time

    The bathroom was so small as to be uncomfortable for me, a small person. The room is extremely expensive for what it is, but that seems to be true of all hotels in Iceland.

    The location was good and the staff were very friendly and accomodating.

    TV/remote wasn’t working and the hairdryer “in the room” was of a “go ask at the reception in the other building” variety. Not a dealbreaker for a short stay, but can be an issue for a longer one.

    Basic hotel for a basic price, but in a great location!

    Single room is very small. You could hardly stow your luggage.

    Friendly staff and super location, close to Hallgrímskirkja and short walk to downtown. Bus pick-up and drop-off is very close, within 2min walk.

    The rooms were definitely not sound proofed! A light sleeper would do well to bring ear plugs. Sound sleepers should be fine though.

    Great Location in centre of Reykjavik. Opposite the cathedral, so it was easy to find, from anywhere in the city.

    I arrived quite early (admittedly was 7am) and was told my room was ready but would have to pay an extra fee (not insignificant) to access it. I've not had this happen before, when the room is available, but perhaps this was standard practice in Iceland. They did accept my luggage and stored it securely and with care so all was fine. :) No matter however, the room and staff were lovely which made my Iceland experience all the better!

    Friendly staff Given free upgrade unexpectedly and recieved larger room Amazing views of the cathedral, what a treat!

    The location of the hotel is perfect. Bus stop 8 is just across the Church square. The bed (queen) was very comfortable. Only stayed one night but was value for money. Tea and Coffee available near reception, and invited to have as much as we wanted, when we wanted.
