Street parking, happy hour, friendly staff, great location, helpful people

Megan United States of America

We had to cancel one of our rooms due to our travel companions canceling last minute and they were very accommodating! Great staff. Room was very basic, but clean and had everything we needed. Great location for walking around the city center.

Frederic United States of America

The location was very close to downtown Reykavik (short walk), but was in a quiet area. The hotel had everything we needed. We always found a parking spot across the street, but there was also parking provided by the hotel if needed. The room had a small fridge to store our leftovers and the beds and bedding were comfortable. A computer was available in the lobby to print our boarding passes.

Susan United States of America

Excellent location, great rooms and we were lucky to enjoy parking . Staff were very helpful.

Leah Israel

Staff were helpful. Parking was free. Heating worked well.

Charlene United States of America

Great walking distance from strip. Great breakfast buffet in the morning. Big rooms for the area. Laundry is washed for you.

Dustin United States of America

Room was spacious and warm. Breakfast was good, coffee is perfect. The staff was very friendly and the beds were comfortable.

Szamszy Germany

Loved the location. We walked to everything. The Asian and Italian restaurants right next to the hotel were excellent. The reception staff was helpful and friendly and knowledgeable. Rooms were well equipped with everything we needed and clean.

Donna United States of America

Staff was very helpful and happy hour was right on time. Wished there was hot cereal like oatmeal for breakfast. Everything else was spot on

Laura United States of America

Location was good, hotel was modern and clean. Comfortable beds
