    Great location with friendly staff

    The hotel is perfectly situated across from Hallgrimskirkja, making it easy to explore Reykjavik. The staff were incredibly helpful, assisting with local recommendations and bookings. However, I found the shower to be quite cramped, which was a bit uncomfortable during my stay.

    Consider bringing flip-flops for the bathroom, as the shower curtain doesn't contain water well.

    great location
    friendly staff
    easy access
    small bathroom

    Location was perfect for our family, right near Hallgrimskirkja and plenty of restaurants. We had an awesome time strolling around, checking out shops, and even made a visit to the Reykjavik Harbour. The kids loved exploring the area, and the staff really made us feel welcome.

    In my wife’s opinion, the bathroom was really cramped and could use more space for families. It would be great if they offered larger family rooms.

    unique views
    small room
    cramped shower

    Unique views of the church.

    Our stay was plagued by numerous discomforts. The room was painfully small, leaving minimal space for our belongings. Additionally, the shower was inconveniently cramped, which made washing up quite the challenge. I felt quite disappointed with our overall experience and had wished for a more pleasant stay.

    landmark proximity

    excellent strolls near landmarks and cozy cafes

    the best part of my short stay was being just a few steps from the impressive hallgrimskirkja and surrounded by cozy cafes like braud & co for fresh pastries, making it so easy to enjoy leisurely strolls in the city while discovering all the must-see spots at a relaxed pace.

    breathtaking view
    unlimited coffee

    The views from my room were astonishing, directly gazing at the iconic Hallgrimskirkja Church which lit up my mornings! The breakfast spread was delightful, with warm waffles that made every morning feel like a treat. Plus, having unlimited coffee available 24/7 was like having a cozy hug in a cup after a long day of exploring.

    would recommend 😊😍

    great location
    friendly staff
    solid breakfast
    cramped room

    Had an awesome time with friends! The location is sweet, right near Hallgrimskirkja and great eateries. We loved the convenient access to the bus stop for our day trips to the Sky Lagoon and Reykjavik Harbour. The staff were super friendly and the breakfast was solid for starting the day. Definitely worth it!

    One downside was the room size. it felt a bit cramped, but we didn't spend much time inside.

    The hotel is conveniently located near Hallgrimskirkja, making it ideal for both business and leisure.
