Great bed, good cooking facilities and you can't get a better more central location in downtown Reykjavik. If you're thinking of booking the room with the external bathroom, it's really fine and frees up space in the main room.

Sarah United States of America

Kitchenette in room worked well for breakfast. Grocery store nearby, we stayed in Room 202, right above music venue so heard music through our floor but was pleasant.

Cynthia United States of America

the location was great , gorgeous apartment with good updated amenities , free espresso machine

Jessie United States of America

Location! Smack in the middle of the action. Helpful staff at check in and paid street parking nearby. Mini fridge, cook top, toaster, utensils, and sink.

Amanda Germany
