A nice economy hotel in Old Reykjavik's city center, close to the ocean, and if you don't mind a shared bathroom (one on each floor) and the curiosity of needing to remove your shoes at the entryway. I would stay here again.

The location is great, right downtown and easily accessible to bus stops. Many food and shopping options around as well. It also has a very nice and homey kitchen and dining area where we could get some tea before heading for trips. Very good value !

Easy check in process, but the parking could become difficult since its street parking. Otherwise a decent guesthouse.
