“Perfect for a few days visiting Reykjavik. Well placed and good value for money”
The single rooms were small but perfectly adequate. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. The breakfast was really good. A great choice of breads and cereals with fruit , yoghurt and meats and cheese. Really appreciated the complimentary tea and coffee etc on offer. The team were great, really helpful. I arrived really early and they managed to get me into my room early. There is a small payment but it was worth it.

“Pleasant experience for a 3-star hotel”
Very nice 3-star hotel conveniently located close to downtown Reykjavik and the BSI terminal. Both can be reached within a 15-minute walk. The hotel is situated directly opposite one of the city's most recognizable landmarks, Hallgrímskirkja, which is visible from almost anywhere in Reykjavik, making it nearly impossible to get lost :) Grocery stores (I mostly used Bónus at Laugavegur 59), cafés and restaurants, souvenir shops are all within easy walking distance of the hotel. The hotel itself is quite small and consists of two buildings: the main building and the west building, located just across the street from each other. The rooms are clean, and the beds are very comfortable. The rooms are fairly small, but it was perfectly fine for me since I spent most of my time outside.

“Great location and comfortable stay. Would try here again but would probably book a larger room.”
Fabulous location right opposite the famous Hallgrimskirkja, and the bed itself was extremely comfortable. The breakfast buffet had a great selection to choose from and the reception staff were very welcoming and helpful.
