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.

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