Why do I need a title?

The room was small but comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. Electrical outlets are poorly located, mostly inaccessible for use.

Great continental breakfast from bakery next door. It was very warm and hotel does not have air conditioning, nor fans and only one tiny portion of the windows opens. Very small shower.

Nice amenities in the hotel. Great continental breakfast with breads from bakery next door. The hotel does not have air conditioning and it was warm in the room and only one tiny window opens slightly so not enough air but plenty of noise from the street. Bathroom is also very small.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Reykjavik. The location is perfect—right on a central street and within easy walking distance to many of the city’s main attractions, restaurants, and shops. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It was the ideal base for exploring the city, and we really appreciated how convenient everything was. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Reykjavik!
