8.4Verified guest“The bed and pillows in my standard room were lovely.”
8.4Verified guest“Great location, a nice hotel with spacious rooms and good service.”
8.4Verified guest“Nothing special to note—just a standard city hotel, nothing more than a 3-star experience.”
8.4Verified guest“The staff were very helpful and flexible, arranging reservations, giving recommendations, and allowing early check-in and late checkout. Excellent free Wi-Fi. The hotel is a short walk from the Icelandic Excursions office where most day tours leave, making it super convenient. It's also near lots of great restaurants and the harbor, right across from the most famous hot dog stand. Rooms and beds are small but clean and fine for two friends. Quiet during the week, but be cautious with any city-center hotel on weekends.”
8.4Verified guest“A wonderful stay. Friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable staff throughout. Clean, quiet hotel in the best spot in Reykjavik. The happy hour was a welcome break after a day of sightseeing, and the breakfast buffet was great for an early morning start.”
8.4Verified guest“The location was excellent—the Lutheran parish church was a pleasant walk away, and the area was walkable to many shops, bus stops 3 and 4 for tours, and the harbor for whale watching. I really enjoyed the standard room with a big bed and a superb continental breakfast that was generous with plenty of good food.”
