Self check in made it quick and efficient. They sent messages with clear instructions. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, and good black out curtains. Have to pay for street parking. Good location as well. Would stay again! Thank you!

Spacious and clean room. A bit far from the center but free parking in the area which is good. This is a good enough hotel I would say, but I wouldn’t book it again as I would want to be closer to the center and I prefer 24 hour open reception.

I really enjoyed my stay. This is a self check in hotel and first off we arrived very early at 9:00am and check in isn't until 3pm. There is no desk service but there is a lobby phone for customer service and I called to ask about a possible early check in and they released our room right away! The room is quite large for European standards, with a very nice bathroom with a waterfall shower. And it is walking distance to the downtown tourist area, a grocery store, a coffee shop and the ocean front walkway. I would 100% stay again and I also found it to be less pricey than other hotels. My only complaint would be there is no daily housekeeping so we had to find housekeeping to ask for more toilet paper. But everything else was great!

Although there aren’t staff present other than housekeeping, the team were very helpful with providing information and also allowing early check-in. The rooms were very clean and spacious, provided hairdryer, toiletries, mini fridge - this was essential for us. Great location - walking distance from the city centre. Would definitely stay here again. Personal preference - would like the option of additional pillows in the room

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Hotel is wonderful. I prefer a more quiet place to stay when I travel, so I look for a bed further away from downtowns and the hustle and bustle. Since Reykjavik is easy to walk or use the city bus, I had access to everything I needed. I didn't have a car, so I can't comment on parking. The self check-in was simple and straightforward. My room was comfy and clean. The private bathroom was awesome. There are plenty of food spots and groceries nearby, as well as some stores.
