Garage parking. Great happy hour at hotel bar. Quick walk from downtown shops and restaurants.

Ben, United States of America

pleasant stay, friendly staff. the hotel is at the entrance (west) of the main street. quick walk to the sea where you can see the northern light [it was early September] (maybe save some tour money:-)

Fred202, United States of America

The breakfast was awesome. We were lucky and arrived just as the fresh kleinur (Islandic donut) were brought out. Pure heaven. The rest of the breakfast also had a big variety.

Verena, Germany

Room was a good size, comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good. The staff were friendly.

Johanna, Australia

really cute spot with an excellent location, went to jog in the morning in the adjascent park, after partying all night down on laugever (which is only 10min walk away to the bars)

Clayton, India

Good breakfast, although the dining room was a bit full for comfort.

Fritz-dieter, Belgium

Staff are helpful, our room was clean, breakfast was great, parking for our rental car was great. Good stay.

James, Canada

The beds were comfortable, the room was clean and warm, and it overlooked a quiet courtyard. The rooms in the hotel seem to be well soundproofed, as we heard nothing around us. The hotel provided lots of information and coupons for sightseeing. Breakfast was varied and delicious. Parking was free and off the street, in a garage behind the hotel. The hotel is a little off the main tourist area, but one can easily walk to the main sights in Reykjavik from it, and if one is driving, the route from and back to the hotel is very easy and quick.

Michael, United States of America

This was my first time in Iceland and this was the perfect place to stay! Location was great and staff were very friendly! I also really enjoyed the breakfast in the mornings! I would definitely stay here again!

Ty, United States of America

Otherwise all fine. Didn't realise town was so far from the airport.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Hot showers, great heating in rooms, comfy bed, great breakfast. Reception staff made bookings easy. Happy hour at the hotel bar! 10-15min walk to city centre, 10min walk to water (great harbour walk!). Just away enough from the city centre to be quiet at night, but close enough to walk! Supermarket 5-10mins walk away. Lots of cafes/restaurants near by. Would definitely stay again!”

Meghan

“The rooms where clean and had lots of room for many people and luggage. Close to downtown, yet very quiet. Great value for the money. I would return again. The morning breakfast had an excellent choice.”

Marie-Louise

“The breakfast buffet had a great variety; the location was great, we walked everywhere we wanted to go in the city, and the street wasn't busy so we always found a spot to park. The tub was huge! It was nice to soak in a hot bath after a day of hiking in the rain.”

눉Everything about the place. Room was so bad we asked to be moved. Sheets had hair and marks on them.it was a hostel at best. Breakfast was the worst in all the hotels I have been in. Very poor selection. They claimed there was a bar and café. They were a joke. On the last day we booked an early breakfast. This was 1 choice of cereal. The toaster was not turned on so we could not have waited for toast. Cold meat or cheese. We paid good money for this service. It has been a rip off. We feel cheated.would not recommended this dive to anyone.
