This is a clean, comfortable hotel in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Klambratún park and the Kjarvalsstaðir art museum. Parking is very convenient in a lot next to the hotel. The staff is helpful and friendly.

We had a room for four adults with a loft and private bath. There was a mountain view which was nice. Bathroom was small but clean and met our needs. The continental breakfast that was included was very good. Lots of variety and everything tasted good. Would recommend this property.

Lobby and breakfast were great. One room was not clean and needed refreshing before we could stay in it. The other was fine. Hotel staff did great to rectify the situation. They do not have a shuttle to the airport.. just an expensive shuttle service that will stop by… a little misleading from their booking ad.

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 .

The rooms were clean, staff was welcoming, but the bathroom had a bad smell and you had to let the hot water run for a while for the weird smell to go away. Smelled like something rotten.
