Super friendly staff! Good basic breakfast and clean. We stayed here our first night and ended up rebooking for pur last night. It's a great location and good breakfast. We stayed in the main building and the one across the street and both were wonderful. Easily walkable from downtown and adequate parking close to the hotel.

Iceland was a wonderful place to visit! Hotel location was great! Staff were kind and helpful. The room was a bit small and the bathroom was very small and poorly lit. Breakfast was a bit limited but I did enjoy the fresh fruit. With that said I would stay there again!

I loved the location of the hotel, right across the street from the famous church. The staff was great, and the rooms had everything we needed. We used the bus from BSI Terminal in both directions since the bus stop #8 was right next to the church across the street. Very convenient!
