Friendly staff Breakfast was great, having 24 hr access to coffee, tea and hot chocolate was a bonus Cons- no elevator so bringing large luggages to 3rd floor up and down - spiral stairs was difficult. I hope staff will offer services to bring your luggages to the room. Nice location and near eateries/attractions

The room was small but large enough to get all our suitcases in there. Amazing location. Nothing like waking up to the Church across the street. The shower is way too small.

The location was perfect: right by the big new church in the center of downtown. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was small but not tiny, and comfortable. Breakfast was a perfect deal, with tasty and healthful array of breads, fresh fruit, condiments, and yogurt. I would be happy to choose this hotel again in the future.

Great central location. Good breakfast value. Great helpful people at reception. Small rooms. Our room had 2 twin beds. Be aware: there are very-very narrow, not a twin size you used to see in USA.

Great hotel in a great location. Very comfortable room and nice free breakfast. Coffee and water available all day in the cozy lounge area. Staff was friendly and helpful. Everything in the City Center is within easy walking distance for healthy adults. Access to public and tour busses is super close. The room with a view of Hallsgrmkirkja was worth the upgrade. Highly recommend.

The location is great. There's a free parking lot across the road, it's right at the edge of the downtown with lots to see. We had a room looking out to the church. Staff were great and the breakfast was good as expected.

Nice enough hotel in a good position for access the town. Staff were helpful and friendly and breakfast/hotel lobby facilities were all good. The bathroom in our room was small, no space to put wash bags etc. Having a window at street level looking on to the church was also handy for seeing the Northern Lights, but also a little noisy with all the tourists. There are no lifts so we carried our suitcases up to upper ground floor room, but thankfully didn't have a room higher than that. Also the hotel is split into two buildings, so we were not in the same building as the lobby, which was not a major problem, but good to know. You get what you pay for and this hotel is not overly expensive for Reykjavik, so if keeping the costs down is important, then the position, cleanliness, staff, breakfast etc make it worth it, but its not that spacious.
