"Everything was fantastic!! The breakfast was clutch, the rooms were amazing and staff was super helpful! I loved how close this hotel is to alot of the sights and things to do while you're visiting! Huge food scene just around the corner! My only advice is to people driving here, they have free parking for guests but very limited spaces. Luckily the street parking is free after 9pm. Other than that, I'd highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Reykjavik"
