Good location, quirky hotel

Great location! Bus from the airport to stop 3 & walk to hotel. Also booked bus to Blue Lagoon which picked me up from same bus stop. Good restaurants & pubs in this area. Room was small, which is expected. Bathroom clean, but we had to step into the shower recess to open the door to be able to use toilet & wash basin. Not complaining, just stating. It has a very quirky foyer & staff were all friendly & helpful.

We loved everything about this hotel. The service at the front desk was 24/7, and all on duty were always very helpful with suggestions, getting taxis, etc. They even set up a private tour for us. Some may prefer a restaurant with a free breakfast, but there were places to eat nearby and we also went to the market and bought breakfast/ lunch some days—there was a nice sized refrigerator in the room. They were renovating due to a broken pipe, but that did not dampen our enjoyment of our stay—the workers were never in the way. The decor is pleasant, but nothing fancy. We also loved the location—it was well within walking distance of good restaurants and sights. For ice cream lovers—there is an excellent ice cream parlor (no seating) across the skateboarders’ park—a 5 minute walk. We really loved Reykjavík and hope to visit again some day. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you to the owners and staff for the wonderful experience!

I love the hotel, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The location is great, in the center of town with many tour locations within walking distance. The problem was that on Friday and Saturday nights the street was turning into a young adult party area with load cars and loud music all night long. Very disappointing since we stayed here last year and it was much quieter and restful.

Lovely quaint hotel in a convenient part of Reykjavik. Lots of character and interesting pop design. Rooms and bathrooms are a good size. It does get noisey at night being close to many night clubs and bars but I had prepared with earplugs. Staff are very nice and so is the long-term visiting cat Baktus. We were given an upgraded room that featured a portrait of Bjork outside the door, so A+++
