The hotel is in a very good location. Although the room was nice the lights in the room were very dim. The light had a dimmer but the highest setting was dim. I found it difficult to read small print and had to use the bathroom light if I needed to read something.

There are a few things which needs to be improved.....breakfast could have scrambled eggs and some baked beans. There should be more options on the coffee/espresso machine. Housekeeping should be more quiet and mindful about guests sleeping in and the amount of noise they are making.

Enjoyable stay, we got to view the Hallgrimskirkja from our window, which was great! The only downside to that particular room was the roof was slanted, and we were on the top floor so the ceiling was as well, so you couldnt stand all the way up in the room in about half of it, and couldnt sit up in bed in the one side.

Although the room was smaller than expected we had a fabulous view of Hallgrimskirkja, and we were within easy walking distance of the major sites in old Reykjavik. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The "queen" bed was two twin beds pushed together with a cover across the gap, but we had a comfortable sleep. Definitely add the breakfast option to your stay if you are an early riser as most coffee shops don't open until 9-10 am.

This hotel is perfectly located in the center of everything, right in front of the cathedral, making it ideal for exploring the area. There are plenty of food options around, so finding a good meal is never an issue. The breakfast is a highlight, with beautiful and modern options that are both tasty and well-presented. However, it's worth noting that there is no elevator, which might be challenging for those with heavy luggage or mobility concerns, and parking can be a bit tricky to find. Overall, it's a great spot for those looking to be in the heart of the action.

The location is so handy, within minutes you're on the main streets for food, shopping etc. The harbour and museums are all within walking distance, under 30mins, and the bus station is under 15 mins walk away. Also the bus stop #8 is only a couple of mins away so can be used for the northern lights pick up & other tours along with the bus to the station. The single room was very basic but it was the cheapest option & it can get loud outside as it's a busy street with Hallgrímskirkja across the road. Would still recommend it.
