Very nice, updated hotel in the center of Reykjavik - walkable to all the major sites! We thought the design of the rooms and the free breakfast was a great value for the price. Only thing we noticed was a bad sulfur scent coming out of the drain, but upon looking it up we realized this is a problem in all Reykjavik hotels because of their water has geothermal heating, so not their fault!

Wonderful room! The bed was comfy. The pull out couch was less, but that’s to be expected works for kids. The kitchenette was great. And laundry! Drying took a while, but a great feature at the end of a trip. The location was great; a grocery store was nearby and a parking garage was across the street from our bldg. Easy walk to Hallgrimskirkja short drive to the harbor. And the receptionist was nice helpful.

Was a nice hotel with a great location. Rooms were very clean & nice, beds were comfortable & being in the city it was a well organized and efficient use of space. There is no on-site parking. We did well however with finding a spot in the street near the hotel. The meter is set up well with wrap-around time so you can even account for time the next morning so you don’t have to wake up early. 6 pm- morning is free. Breakfasts were nice too and had good fresh selection. Would stay here again
