Location was good for excursions pickup Harpa #5 just across the street. Room with water view was beautiful. Even in 45-55 degree weather, we had to open the room window since there is no AC. Location was mostly quiet. I would stay there again.

Everything was absolutely perfect. The location was wonderful, so many places to eat or explore businesses. We did a lot of walking in Reykjavik and then rented a vehicle to see massive waterfalls, scenic view etc. the nightly cover bands at the Bookstore, about 3-4 blocks from hotel. I had a lot of fun dancing, drinking and listening to good songs.

Excellent location overlooking the Harpa and harbor. Very close to center town and rainbow street. Great restaurants and shopping options nearby. The happy hour drinks were a nice perk and the rooms were small but comfortable. Shower mechanism is a bit old style but functional. FYI: directly across the street from the cruise shuttle drop off.

Great hotel right by old port, church and restaurants. Staff was welcoming and ensured the stay was fantastic. Rooms are a little small by north American standards but well noise insulated. They have a luggage storage area in the lobby that is locked with a room key so you never have to bother them and you know your luggage is secure.
