“While slightly removed from the city's immediate bustle, the hotel provides a comfortable base for exploring Reykjavik, with its excellent breakfast standing out as a highlight. The rooms are practical, suited for short stays, and the staff is consistently helpful. In my opinion it's a solid choice for travelers who prioritize value and don't mind a bit of a walk to the main attractions.”
