The location is great. There's a free parking lot across the road, it's right at the edge of the downtown with lots to see. We had a room looking out to the church. Staff were great and the breakfast was good as expected.

Nice enough hotel in a good position for access the town. Staff were helpful and friendly and breakfast/hotel lobby facilities were all good. The bathroom in our room was small, no space to put wash bags etc. Having a window at street level looking on to the church was also handy for seeing the Northern Lights, but also a little noisy with all the tourists. There are no lifts so we carried our suitcases up to upper ground floor room, but thankfully didn't have a room higher than that. Also the hotel is split into two buildings, so we were not in the same building as the lobby, which was not a major problem, but good to know. You get what you pay for and this hotel is not overly expensive for Reykjavik, so if keeping the costs down is important, then the position, cleanliness, staff, breakfast etc make it worth it, but its not that spacious.

The staff was kind and helpful. The rooms were cute and cozy with private bathrooms and good heating. The breakfast was nice to have, especially in an expensive city that opens late. The 24 hour access to coffee tea and hot chocolate in the lobby was really comforting to have, especially with jetlag and being awake at odd hours. The location and the hotel felt safe. The only potential downside is that the hotel is on a main street so people walking by constantly are noisy but that didn't bother me.
Really cute room amd cozy. Blackout curtains were a welcome touch.
View from the room. Great location. The church chimes are lovely.
