Such a great location in the heart of Reykjavik and convenient to Bus Stop #4. Loved having the bakery at the entrance to the hotel. Friendly staff. Shower is good and appreciate the heated towel rack. Rooms are a little dark. Overall, a nice place to stay when visiting Reykjavik.

Okay, first off its in a great location. Rooms are very small and not very well lit. Room was clean and comfortable. Enjoyed having a breakfast, lunch and dinner spot right down stairs. Dont quite understand the steam room that you have to walk thru the main lobby to access. Staff was always there and willing to help. Woukd probably search area for better value, this smwas my first visit to Iceland.
