“From what I gathered, this guesthouse sits in Reykjavik's core, directly across from Hallgrímskirkja, positioning guests within easy reach of the city's attractions. I noted the availability of apartment-style lodging that accommodates up to six guests, making it suitable for families or small groups. The pet-friendly policy is a plus for those traveling with animals.”

i was charmed by the hotel's proximity to hallgrímskirkja. free on-site parking was a huge perk since i had a car and drove around a little.
The sulphur smell of the hot water was noticeable upon arrival. I opened windows to address it
