A nice economy hotel in Old Reykjavik's city center, close to the ocean, and if you don't mind a shared bathroom (one on each floor) and the curiosity of needing to remove your shoes at the entryway. I would stay here again.

Great location. We had a studio, so we had a private bathroom, which was small but adequate. It slept 4, which worked well for our family. It would have been great to have blackout curtains on the windows since the sun never set.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a family room with en suite bath and a kitchenette, and it was fine for our short stay in Reykjavik. It really is central too all of the attractions in the town; we walked in all directions and the property always seemed to be only a few streets away. It is also steps from Bus Stop No. 2 - Tjornin, which is a pick-up point for excursion busses. The kitchenette had cooking facilities, a small refrigerator, a water kettle, and the like. It was a pleasant place to stay.
