Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in the city center, overlooking a narrow street with all the bars, making it convenient for exploring Reykjavik. The rooms, though smaller than American hotels, are adorable. However, they can be quite bright at night from street lights and would benefit from blackout curtains.
The hotel was in a great location, making it convenient to walk to restaurants, supermarkets, and even a laundry cafe if needed. The rooms were clean and nice, exceeding our expectations, though the heating could be a bit overwhelming at times. The street lights made the room quite bright at night, suggesting blackout curtains would be beneficial.
The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms were quiet and comfortable, but facing a lively street made for some noisy nights. The service is a mix of professional and friendly, with a minor hiccup of mistaking rooms. The location is ideal for exploring Reykjavik but can get loud on weekends due to nearby bars. Dining options were decent and offered at a reasonable price.

The hotel was clean and nice, just what we needed and better than we hoped for. The rooms were great, except the curtains didn't fully cover the windows, letting in too much brightness from Iceland. Across the street, there's a pub open until 4am on the weekend, but overall a good stay.
