“Its location proves a genuine advantage, placing you steps from Hallgrímskirkja and within a short walk of the BSI bus station; the friendly staff adds a warm touch. Rooms are well-equipped, though some require stair climbing, and the breakfast is reliably satisfying. A solid choice for those prioritizing location and service.”
