Pros
Eight restaurants within 0.3-0.5 miles walking distance
Central location near major cultural sites and Lake Tjornin
Free WiFi throughout the property
Tour organization service available
Cons
All bathrooms are shared facilities
Airport is 1 mile from the property
“In my opinion, its prime location near City Hall and the airport bus line makes this property a practical base for exploring Reykjavik. The clean rooms are adequate, but some may find the thin walls and small spaces less than ideal. For travelers prioritizing central access and essential amenities, this could be a reasonable option.”
