We arrived on an early morning flight. We were able to leave our bags at the hotel and were notified as soon as our room was ready. (usually 3pm check in) This was a great location to explore the town, the day before our cruise. The staff was so accommodating. I wish we had a few more days!

Beds were comfy, everything was fantastic and the service was very friendly and generally kind. Our room was very spacious and we loved the balcony. The only suggestion I would make would be a bigger duvet for the queen beds. I’m really tall and I found it either didn’t cover my length or if I moved it around it wouldn’t fully cover my partner. Otherwise, fantastic and great location!

Lovely spot in the heart of Reykjavík

A comfortable, excellence spot near the heart of Reykjavík. We have a sizable room with many amenities like kitchen equipment. Very affordable price. Friendly staff. My only complaint would be that there is no on-site parking.
