We found the hotel to be exceptionally comfortable. The recently renovations to the historic buildings has been exceptionally well done: very modern amenities and furnishings and a really great repurposing of space for visitor accommodations. We booked here based on location in the center of downtown Reykjavík and close proximity to Laugarvagur. For some, the proximity of the studio room we were assigned might be too close, overlooking Laugarvagur with its great eating, drinking, shopping places, and night life The staff were all warm, friendly, and very helpful. We would definitely recommend this hotel to our friends.

Location was amazing, central and in walking distance to everything. Check-in process was seamless. Received the access code earlier that day, downloaded the keyless app and got into our room early. Front desk was super helpful answering any questions we had. Room was spacious and we had a very long balcony for fresh air. Definitely recommend!

So close to downtown!!! We did park our rental 2-3 blocks away for cheaper parking but the apt itself was wonderful…..our 2 bedroom/1 bath had washer and dryer and the breakfast basket each day was lovely with fruit, meat/cheese and veggies. The fresh baked bread delivered each day was a treat as well! Highly recommended staying here!

Clean. large room. Staff was friendly, engaging, and very helpful with our questions. Location is right in the middle of the shopping area downtown and walkable to all of it. The only downside (and it isn't the hotel's fault) is parking and driving everywhere in the area is horrible.

Perfect location in the heart of down-town Reykjavik. Full, but tiny, kitchen and a great breakfast delivered to your door every day. Even only two blocks from the Airport Flybus pickup for convenience to getting to and from the airport. Staff were very nice and accommodating - free luggage storage if you have to wait for check-in or check out before you're ready for your flight.

The property is located close to all the main sites in Reykjavik (everything within walking distance). The apartment is furnished nicely and contains everything you need when using Reykjavik as your home base to explore the entire west coast of Iceland. Bonus, when staying at the Printing Press building, apartments 506-506 face the Sæbraut waterfront and have a balcony that has a partial view of the Sæbraut Waterfront (faces north). We were very fortunate to catch the northern lights on our first night in Reykjavik from our balcony! This property has excellent customer service which was very receptive and prompt to address any questions we had. I highly recommend this establishment.
