This location was centrally located, clean, with appropriate amenities for my needs for a one-night stay. The complementary breakfast was filling and the staff was helpful, both on site and also by phone in advance as I reached out for instructions on how to check in late after the front desk was closed.

I think this was the ideal place to stay in Reykjavik. Close to the church, in the middle of everything, restaurants and grocery store near by, and a really nice breakfast included. It is also about 700m from BSI bus station.

Breakfast was really good with lots of options. Walked here from the Bus Station and could walk down to the shops and harbor easily. Miss having our own bathroom though, but at least we had a sink in the room.

That was a great stay for the night. The free breakfast was a huge perk and the room was comfortable. We got lucky with our timing to get free street parking for the night, but the free parking on site that we relied on wasn’t available. This didn’t impact our stay, but just a heads up!

Room clean, shower and bathroom impossibly small and damp. Check in was almost impossible... no one around for a long time. Was given 3 keys, one of which didn't fit any door. Doors difficult to unlock. Breakfast area crowded and not enough seating. Power went out in room during night... told person at counter at breakfast and they said they didn't know what to do about it.
