I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were in a very bad condition, as expected for the budget, and it was cold with barely any hot water, the staff was accommodating and helpful. The location was convenient with easy access to the city center and major tourist attractions. The dining was quick and easy, but the fried fish was not my favorite.

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of Reykjavik center, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms, while a bit small by European standards, were tidy and satisfactory for a short stay. The service from the staff was exceptional, with friendly and helpful individuals. However, the lack of room amenities like a safe, tea/coffee facilities, and fridge was notable, and the room was not refreshed during our three-night stay.

The hotel has a great location, close to the central streets while offering a quiet atmosphere. The rooms, though basic without a television and telephone due to noise from the lift, were kept clean. The service, while indicating upcoming renovations and occasional rudeness, showed flexibility when I arrived early. The highlight was definitely the location, being central and close to key areas. Dining, although a bit pricey, offered high-quality local products. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.

The hotel is tucked away on a quiet street just a couple of minutes from the harbour and opera house, making it a great spot for our trip. The rooms, while clean and comfy, are in dire need of a makeover and lack some essential furniture. The service, typical of a guesthouse, was friendly and helpful with recommendations. The hotel's dining was good with a variety of options, but there were some delays. Overall, the location truly shines, compensating for the hotel's flaws.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and well-heated, although I did notice a brown stain in the shower area. The staff was friendly and helpful, but some renovations are needed. The location was very convenient, close to the marina, bus station 4, and various dining spots. The dining experience was adequate, though a bit of a mix-up could have added to the charm. Overall, it's a solid choice for those looking for a central location with easy access to amenities.
