Value for money
The staff was friendly and helpful, providing great advice during my visit. The room was spacious and clean, with a comfy bed and a small fridge. The location was excellent, right in front of the famous church, making it easy to find my way back. The hotel also offered free parking and was surrounded by many restaurants, sights, and shops.
Not obvious to find.
The hotel's location is fantastic - it is close to everything, in front of the church, and in a quiet neighborhood. The breakfast provided was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. the hotel is conveniently located near the bus station where all the bus tours start from.
Don't have any issues at all.
We loved our stay at this guesthouse! The location was perfect, right in the very city centre of Reykjavik and in walking distance to anything we wanted to see downtown. The hotel facilities were fantastic, with a beautiful house and cozy rooms. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the staff were super-friendly and accommodating. We especially appreciated the delicious breakfast that was provided, along with the complimentary tea and coffee. this was a wonderful experience.
