Pros: Central location/ Modern bathroom/ hot water/ breakfast ok only/staff ok. Cons: Bar music next building down on Saturday/hot water smells (sulphur/natural)/ no kettle or tea making facilities in room/breakfast manic not enough tables & no one to seat you. Kettle & tea in all other hotels i stayed at so should be standard. Breakfast staff was nice but it was too chaotic and no tables available.

Nice hotel great location

Nice hotel in middle of Main Street. Beds comfortable. Room way too warm had to switch heating off. Breakfast not great just fruit, bread, ham and cheese. Staff very helpful. If I ever went back to Iceland I would stay here again but wouldn't bother going in for breakfast.

Lovely hotel

We spent one night here before we flew home as our 'usual' hotel was not available. We had a nice big room with all comforts, though the bathroom was on the small side - big enough for one person only though perfectly adequate! We had very little contact with any staff but checking in and out went smoothly and everyone seemed pleasant enough. The typical Icelandic breakfast was good, but we didn't use the restaurant. The hotel is extremely convenient for Reykjavik downtown (5 minutes' walk) and close to all our favoiurite bars and restaurants. Parking can be difficult in the immediate vicinity of the hotel but we used the free car park beside the church. Only downside was the lack of extractor in the bathroom - there was just an open pipe going to the ventilation system (I presume) but no fan or anything and when we returned from breakfast the stuffiness really hit us. I don't know if this was just our room or whether they are all like that but some kind of ventilation would have been good. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Great hotel and location

Great location on the main shopping and bar street. Easy to access all main attractions. A little noisy on the Friday night but it's too be expected in the weekend in a country that loves it's weekends. Good continental breakfast, plenty of meats, cheeses and breads to choose from. Juices, Yogurts, fruit etc did us well but after a few days may become the same old same old. Friendly staff, as everywhere we went in Iceland. Room was clean but not perfect and some of the furniture a little tired. We'd come back.

Sijainti on hyvä mutta jos saat kadun puolelta huoneen, melu ja jyske on kova. Alakerrassa, vieressä on yöhuveja. Pihanpuolen huoneet ovat erinomaiset.
