Amazing location. Very clean and nice staff. The room was very small and with low ceilings making it hard to stand up in places and made the room smaller. Im sure other rooms are better so try and request a room not on the too floor.

This was the best hotel for our stay. Directly across the church made for easy walking around the city. The hotel staff were exceptionally nice and helped give us many ideas on where to go. The hotel was very cute and comfy. Would definitely stay here again.

The location of Leifur Erickson is just perfect. Off the busy shopping street but about a 2 minute walk away. Very quiet and centrally located. We could walk everywhere we chose to go. Staff was helpful and friendly. The lack of a lift was troublesome only when checking in and out.
