Very nice property. The included breakfast was substantial and good variety of food. Was able to get coffee at all hours. Room was spacious and warm. No fridge or tv in the room but fridge in common area to use and free wifi allowed for streaming. Location was outside of the downtown but it was on a direct bus route to downtown. Grocery store on site was a bonus. Helpful staff.

Wonderful staff

My niece and I stayed for one night. The front desk staff (think her name was Gosia) was very helpful and accommodating. The hotel was overall cozy, nice, and clean. Free breakfast was a bonus. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Iceland.

A very good, simple place to spend the night. It was clean and we'll appointed - very good use of space. But don't expect fancy. We found very good pizza on the ground floor by the hotel. Breakfast was generous.

Great find at the outskirts of Reykjavik!

The self check-in (and check-out) worked like a charm - parking is very convenient, and there are a pizzeria and a supermarket in the building. The rooms are spacious and the dining area is conveniently right outside the rooms. The place is quiet and the overall atmosphere is very relaxing. Great breakfast buffet - and surprisingly low rate.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The facilities are dated and there is not even a television in the rooms. The room was not cleaned and we had to call in to even get some fresh towels. The worst part was the staffs said I could not take milk for my infant in his bottle because that was to be consumed only on premise. Needless to say my infant does not have his breakfast on the table. Completely disgruntled and dissatisfied with the stay.

On a busy road, but didn't hear any noise at night. Entry into facility looked pretty beat up, but room was good, breakfast was good and nice common area.

Nothing fancy, perfect for late arrival from airport. This was the 1st time we’ve checked into a place with no person at the reception. We were given clear instructions in an email on how to check in and it went very smoothly. Room was small but clean. Bed was comfy with decent bed linens. Breakfast was great.

Nice place to stay, not close to downtown, but easy to get to, rooms are good size, clean, friendly staff, breakfast is good. I would recommend this place, just be aware that it's a little bit of a hike to get downtown. We had a car, so CHEERs, no worries.

So convenient and staff was wonderful. We loved that the parking was easy and a bust stop across the street was convenient to downtown.
