Perfect location, only a 30 second walk to the heart of the city cetre whist still being situated on a quiet street. breakfast adequate consists of waffles, cereal, toast, cheese, ham and as much coffee, tea and drinks as you require. The rooms are TINY with VERY little storage space and a small bathroom. Staff are friendly and knowledgable. this is a great place to stay for a few days but you might want to consider somewhere with more room if you are staying longer?

stayed for a week what a great location,staff friendly and helpful,clean and cosy,reception will book all your trips for you,would definatley stay there again

I stayed there in 2009, late Spring.This is a hotel with an encelent location, very close to the lovely center of Reykjavik. The staff was very nice and helpful and the breakfast was very good and tasty! We spent most of our time outdoors, into the unique landscapes of Iceland, the beautiful land of Ice with an heart of Fire! The hotel rooms had a very good price, and the rooms were small but thats just what we needed, cozy and confortable beds to sleep after full day on the great outdoors and clean and nice bathroom. If you want a cozy and simple budget hotel in a quiet location even near the centre, thats for you!

We'd booked this hotel as part of a package that included our flights and so I'm not sure of exactly what our rate per night was, but it was cheap. We picked it primarily for the location which is very convenient - just around the corner is the main street with loads of restaurants/shops and the waterfront is close by too.

We arrived very late, about 1.30am, as our plane had been delayed. We checked in easy enough, went and checked out the room which was a twin. I had booked our flights/accom months and months ago and specified at the time a double. We went back down to see if we could be given a different room and were told all the doubles were smaller than the twin (which was very small!) and were by the elevator and so very noisy. It was late, we were tired, so we just said we'd stick with what we had and pushed the beds together. It was okay.

The room itself was very sparse - but clean and the bathroom is reasonably modern. Pretty good shower and lovely hot water - and I don't mind the sulphur smell of Icelandic water it reminds me of Rotorua back home (NZ).

A few issues we had - there was no knob for the radiator in our room which was lovely and toasty warm when we arrived...but too hot when we went to sleep and we couldn't turn it down. Solution in the end was to have the window open which worked fine our first night. But the second and third nights were Fri/Sat and there is a hostel/club or bar nearby so there were lots of rowdy people walking along the street in the wee hours that meant we didn't get a good nights sleep after the first night. There was a tv in the room but it didn't work.

The breakfast is a choice of 2 cordials, tea/coffees and milk, a couple of cereals, bread which you can toast, cheeses/meat platters, hard boiled eggs and some fruit. Very plain and simple, but plenty enough to fill you up if not a lot of different choice.

The staff were friendly and helpful with booking tours and answering questions.

If you're just after somewhere to rest your head after a long days sightseeing in and around Reykjavik then this is the perfect place - great location and most tour companies will pick you up from your hotel. If you're after somewhere where you can spend more time in your room relaxing then this isn't the place.
