jocelyn, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Close to everything! Restaurants are plentiful and a good variety. It is a little walk to P3 parking, but very doable. Overall, very nice location and good hotel.

Great location and breakfast

Great location, helpful staff, super breakfast.
6-night trip

4/10 Poor

Good location, extremely noisy as there is live music playing one building away. Also there are steps you have to lug your suitcase case up to get to the lift. 3 steps to the entrance and a further few steps.
Rita, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

staff friendly and helpful. convenient location. good breakfast buffet. Note there are stairs to enter the building and once inside, a half flight of stairs to reach the elevator
Teresa, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved it! Very clean. Excellent location. Nice breakfast. The only issue for me was that the heat was on very high and I had no way to turn it down. It was May and very warm outside, so I roasted in my room.
Myra, 6-night trip

8/10 Good

The staff was amazing. Gave us tips, checked us in early, called a taxi for us, and was very friendly. Room was made up nice and it was in the best location.

Great location

10/10 Excellent

The hotel room was clean and spacious. There was lots to choose from at the breakfast buffet. The staff was kind and helpful. The only negative was the live music across the street until 11:00 and people parting in the street until the wee hours.
Barb, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is not a good property for people with mobility issues. As you enter the hotel, you must climb up three or four steps and then once inside, you have to climb another four steps to get to the elevator to take you to reception.
Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Liked the hotel, staff and location. But the loud bar across the street was disturbing at bedtime… good thing I was so tired each night.
Steven, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

City center/excellent location, room was tiny-2-star room, 2.5 star hotel, 5star location
dalia, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Older hotel starting to show its age. No parking and no loading/unloading area. We had to park 4-5 blocks away and there happened to be some events going on that closed off some of the streets. We didn’t want to carry all our luggage through the activities, but wanted to check in. The reception desk refused to let is check in because we didn’t have our passports on us (still in luggage in that car) even though we had Real ID licenses. This was the only hotel of 13 places we stayed in Iceland that required passports to check in. Room was basic and the bar across from our room had a live band blasting music until almost midnight.
Gretchen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great city centre hotel

Lovely wee hotel that was slap bang in the middle of Reykjavik city centre. It was very quiet, clean and friendly. Breakfast was included, which is a bonus in Iceland
Kris, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

I didn't care of having to carry my suitcases up to the reception desk. I do understand that this building is a little old in the sense that the reception desk in on the 2nd level from the street. I do like the morning breakfast. The fruits were sweet, there was quite a selection of various breads, bakery items, sandwiches to customize your own, oatmeal, juices, and of course coffee.
