Great central location for a Reykjavik visit, staff was great and extremely helpful, breakfast was wonderful and plenty. Only negative was the room was a little warm with no A/C, and faucet and shower water had strong sulphur smell that filled the room, which made taking a shower unpleasant. All else was perfect for us .

For a family of 5 this was a reasonably priced hotel for Reykjavik. The room was small but everyone had their own bed and it was fine for a one night stay. The breakfast was included and was great, lots of choice. The parking was onsite, free and easy. The town was in walking distance, took about 15 - 20 minutes to reach.
