    Mini fringe in the room might be helpful.

    We stayed in with our 6y/o in a Bigger room with entrance through terrace. It was very charming. View on the church and parlament provided very “central” feel. We stayed only one night but could have stayed longer. The cleanliness of the room was impecable. Kitchen island had tableware and coffee machine. Perfect to had a cup of tea or serve decently your take-away meals. Sleeping sofa was great and easily could accommodate two people. Hot water did not smell with rotten eggs! Taxi arranged by the desk came at 4 am, as requested.

    Access to the room was via an outdoor walkway. The room layout was a bit strange, the bathroom needed some maintenance, the fridge was loud and the blinds were not good enough for the bright lights next door.

    Location was good, room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and staff were helpful.

    Nothing, we had a great stay.

    This was a great hotel, staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was nice, the room was surprisingly big, very well equipped. The only thing that could improve it, and it's really minor, is that there are some basic utensils etc to allow you to cook some food in the room and a coffee machine. There's no kettle and theres no fridge (but it was cold enough we could leave stuff outside the window) but we weren't expecting to have any of that anyway so they are great bonus facilities and we would definitely stay here again. The breakfast was really good, we were given any additional bit we asked for eg extra creamer sachets, it was a great stay. And the bar was nice to chill out in.

    The walls were thin but even then it wasn’t the worst. If the other guests are respectful it’s not a problem.

    It was in the perfect location to explore Reykjavík and also for pickup/drop off for many tours. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

    A little hard to control the heat, it was either too hot or too cold. Couldn’t get the heated towel rack in the bathroom to turn all the way off, so it was always heat coming from the bathroom.

    Great location, easy to walk to anywhere and a nice little bar.

    There is not much not to like. If you want to be really picky, the P1 parking zone next to the hotel doesn't allow you to park for more than 3 hours. I don't get the logic - if I'm the one paying anyway and I'm fine with the price, then it should be my decision to stay there for longer. But that's not the fault of this nice hotel, of course. Luckily, P2 parking zones are close enough, and there are usually a few places available even if you come back in the evening. We also got unlucky with our neighbours - they were having a fight at night right in front of our window. I decided not to punch the guy in the face since Icelandic laws might not tolerate this. But I really wanted to. Once again - the hotel is not responsible for the behaviour of some of their inadequate visitors who don't care about anyone else.

    There are many things to like about this hotel. First of all, it's the location - all the interesting sights are close enough, the street is not busy etc. Then there is a decent-sized "kitchen area" where you can cook and grab a drink or two. And if you missed that drink - you can simply go downstairs and get one for a lot of money, but it's Iceland, so you should be cool with that. This country is worth every penny anyway. I would gladly stay here again.

    Saturday night in the center of the city. Go out or use the earplugs. They are provided....Not a complaint, just a comment to make sure you know what to expect. Parking is expensive around there. Use a garage.

    Nice and cozy townhouse hotel with a very good location to the center of Reykjavik. Restaurants (Recommendation: Ristorante Caruso, try the catch of the day), Laugavegur, museums, concert hall, all in walking distance.

    Fabulous boutique hotel in centre of Reykjavik

    - We stayed in a Cosy room and whilst it was fine for a couple of nights, it is cosy by name cosy by nature. There isn't a huge amount of space for luggage or suitcases, so felt like we were stepping over it for the few days we were here. Not the biggest issue as there's so much to see and do, we were barely in the room anyway!

    - Staff on reception were always very friendly and welcoming. Went above and beyond to get us into the room early which was so kind, especially after a long journey. Also gave very good recommendations for local places to eat and organised a few taxis for us without any issue. - Rooms were clean and comfortable. - Central location, can walk to everything in Reykjavik.
