I can't say enough good things about this hotel! My partner and I arrived really early after our flight, fully prepared to just drop our bags and head out. To our surprise, the staff went above and beyond and found a room for us right away so we could check in early.
We also loved the cool bakery and burger restaurant inside the building.
We highly recommend this hotel!

Best hotel in Iceland!
The hotel was absolutely fantastic and the staff could not have been better!
Being able to get one of the Eight parking places truly was a lifesaver during our 9 day stay.
We will be back!

Great hotel and an excellent location. In addition to well appointed and clean rooms, the restaurant and bakery downstairs are phenomenal. Rooms do tend to run a bit warm (we were there in June) so you may want to open the windows and/or bring a small portable fan.

Lovely hotel in a great location
Great location, comfy bed, and friendly staff. The only hitch for us was that we came during the summer, and the room was uncomfortably warm, even with all the windows open. We asked the staff for an electric fan, which made all the difference.

Best choice for Reykjavik!
Super clean and well equipped hotel We had a standard king room & it was efficiently laid out with everything we needed. We were even able to get a fan at the front desk since it was warmer than usual. The staff was so sweet & very helpful! The cleaning crew was friendly and efficient too.
The on-sight cafe & restaurant were amazing quality & craveable with outstanding service.
