The hotel is in a great location! Most tourist sites are an easy walk from this location. The modern styling is nice and the rooms are small, but functionally designed. The spa hot tub and sauna are nice after a long day.

What an amazing hotel and amazing staff. They made our honeymoon trip truly so special. The location right in downtown Reykjavík is so convenient, with so much to do within walking distance. The hotel is also very beautiful and clean. We booked the honeymoon package and they went all out, it was so awesome. All the staff was amazing but just to shout out a couple people in particular - Artur helped us out at the bar and he was so kind and great to chat with. Irene from the front desk was emailing with me ahead of time and she was so helpful and nice. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in visiting Iceland.

Went for Pride week and our 3 year anniversary. Hotel was clean, the staff was so incredibly friendly, loved the free breakfast options and the jr suite. Would highly recommend anyone coming to Reykjavik to stay at this property! It is conveniently located which made walking around the area so easy. The hot tub in the spa was relaxing. Would love to come back again!
