The hotel itself was fine, but was not too happy after incorrect information given by a hotel staff member resulted in a $400 morning trying to get back to the airport. When I arrived, they were out if guest parking (fine), I then asked the reception attendant where i could park overnight and he gave me the address of a parking ramp nearby. He did not mention that you can’t get the car out until 7am despite having a code with the ramp and I had a flight the next morning at 7:30am. This resulted in a $200 taxi ride to the airport (yes, Iceland is insanely expensive) and another $200 fee for the rental company to go pick up the car. All of this could gave been avoided with some communication as it was not clear that once your car was in the garage you could not access it with your code between certain hours.

Great place to stay in Reykjavik! Super convenient location, close to a parking garage and easy to walk everywhere from here. It’s also near the Lewbowski Bar, our favorite bar in Reykjavik. The room was large and comfortable, and I’d absolutely stay here again.

Great hotel and excellent location. The breakfast is really exceptional with lots of fruit choices, meats, breads, cereal, etc. rooms are on small side, but we had two chairs for sitting. Very professional and helpful front desk. We stayed here twice, two days each time and everything was consistently good.

Location was great, breakfast was very good & the rest was okay. The room seemed clean (though the bathroom needed a deep cleaning or just replacement of fixtures, etc) & the bed was comfortable enough. The room & building could use updating, some things felt old & worn out.

It’s clean and staff are friendly and helpful. I was expecting 2 separate beds instead of a large bed with 2 quilts but was able to sleep so it’s not too big a problem.
