Great stay, we were there for 1 day. Quirky hotel, we loved its central location so close to the bus station where the buses from the airport arrive, the center and museums. Responsive, pleasant staff. They gave us an apartment with a full sized bath and bathroom, for example.

Stunning room, tiled bathroom, plus it's in a very nice area. All in all it's reasonably clean place, they have comfortable beds.

We would recommend it as we loved this hotel. Best staff, ideal location, large bed. Reykjavik 101 district certainly deserves to be visited. Early check in and late check out.

Reasonably large and clean hotel, location was reasonably priced just next door to city center, lake and the main bus station. Stayed there before now, the staff was as always exceptional! Atmospheric property with good customer service.

Fine, warm room and plentiful breakfast, outstandingly accommodating staff. I got free upgrade and truly enjoyed it. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, perfect service. Had cold drinks in the English bar in the evening.
The bathroom I had was very old.

We liked the fairly large room and efficient staff. We had a room overlooking the garden, the hotel was delightful. When we arrived the host was gracious. The service offered was hospitable too. In addition, free Wi-Fi was available there.

It deserves its 3 stars. The hotel is in the embassy district. We greatly enjoyed to chill in the nearby Snaps Bistro Bar;))
