The place was really convenient—centrally located and within walking distance of all the main spots. I mostly used it to store my things and get some rest since I spent most of my time on tours, and it worked perfectly for that.

Hotel in the center of everything downtown Reykjavik. Note that rooms facing the church do feel a little noisy but the view at night is wonderful.

Small rooms, issues with washroom overheating, no elevator but overall this was a great property. You can't beat the location and the common areas were a nice touch to have somewhere to hangout since the rooms are quite small. Very close to attractions and walkable to bus pickup locations.

Heard a fan on all night - staff tried to help - might have been in another room - too late to wake the occupants. Offered ear plugs. Staff were amazing! Loved the free tea and coffee as well as breakfast to go!

The noise is all night long, location is great but not worth it because of noise. Breakfast is the worst European breakfast I have ever had. Huge disappointment. One good thing is the location. Would NOT stay here again.

Amazing location. Very clean and nice staff. The room was very small and with low ceilings making it hard to stand up in places and made the room smaller. Im sure other rooms are better so try and request a room not on the too floor.
