Excellent location for walking to downtown Reykjavik, BSI bus station and local buses. Small room but just for 1 person it was fine. Clean and fresh smell. Very friendly staff, spoke good English and knowledgeable about the city and country. Breakfast consistent with 3 star rating, a few local products available with milk tasting excellent.

10/10 Exceptional

The room was small, but comfortable. It could use a little soundproofing as we heard people in the landing talking on the phone late at night. I wouldn't recommend for anyone with mobility issues as there is no elevator. It had an amazing view of the cathedral, easy to walk around town from this location, and the breakfast was great. We would stay again.

Friendly staff Breakfast was great, having 24 hr access to coffee, tea and hot chocolate was a bonus Cons- no elevator so bringing large luggages to 3rd floor up and down - spiral stairs was difficult. I hope staff will offer services to bring your luggages to the room. Nice location and near eateries/attractions
