Amazing stay!
The hotel was great! Amazing staff, the buffet was pretty good, and the view is incredible. The rooms are of adequate size, but the only thing we thought was uncomfortable was that there’s no separation between the shower and the rest of the bathroom.

Just a lovely place to stay
A wonderful stay for our first time in Iceland. Witnessed a beautiful sunrise at 3am from our room. Hotel was very close to the main area of Reykjavik with its many restaurants to chose from. Lovely rooftop bar and breakfast spot for a great breakfast.

Located near the waterfront with views of the harbor and sea. The hotel is old. No a/c, only heating. That said, nice breakfast.
Only 5 blocks from the Old Harbour and tourist streets.
