Just a lovely place to stay
A wonderful stay for our first time in Iceland. Witnessed a beautiful sunrise at 3am from our room. Hotel was very close to the main area of Reykjavik with its many restaurants to chose from. Lovely rooftop bar and breakfast spot for a great breakfast.

Located near the waterfront with views of the harbor and sea. The hotel is old. No a/c, only heating. That said, nice breakfast.
Only 5 blocks from the Old Harbour and tourist streets.

Amazing stay!
The hotel was great! Amazing staff, the buffet was pretty good, and the view is incredible. The rooms are of adequate size, but the only thing we thought was uncomfortable was that there’s no separation between the shower and the rest of the bathroom.

Beware of the shower
Ok stay. Very professional staff. They took care of my bag while I was touring both before and after my stay. Basic room with new restroom. The water from the shower smelled like sulfur. I wondered if the people I met that day could smell it on me. Friends stayed at another, comparable hotel that provided an odorless showering experience. I expect at least that much from a pricey, four-star hotel.

This property is clean, quiet and in an excellent location! Very enjoyable stay. Rooms are a good size however the bathroom (shower) is very small and when you shower water is all over the bathroom floor but overall everything is very good at this property.
