Their attentiveness and genuine kindness made my stay even more enjoyable and memorable. What sets this hotel apart is its unique charm. Every detail, from the beautifully designed interiors to the curated amenities, reflects a commitment to excellence. If you’re looking for a place that combines remarkable service with a truly unique experience, this is it. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone seeking an extraordinary stay.

The location is what helps this property be worthwhile. The price for the week before Christmas was similar to two other much nicer hotels a short distance away but the people I was traveling with had stayed here previously & were insistant on booking here. The rooms are tiny! Im only 5'3 & I kept bumping into everything. Pluses are, good heating system, & nice hot water. Except, the hot water reeks like sulfur. Really bad! & the shower is super small. We had a room that was facing the church, so it was beautiful. Plus very close to lots of restaurants & shopping. After walking the whole city, the other two places I wanted to stay, are also very close to great dinning & shopping. One more plus here was the free parking right across the street. You do share it with the public, so its first come first serve, but I found a spot each time. If you do tours, the bus pickup is a short walk across the street. I dont eat breakfast so I cant comment on that. But the free hot cocoa is nice. Hospitality in Iceland is....different. The people are very cold, dont expect a warm hello no matter what language you speak. Rooms were cleaned daily, housekeeping was very friendly & nice, she was not Icelandic. There was no gym or work out facility, bare bones amenities. But its a charming location. And really in a place like Iceland, how much time do you spend in the room.

The hotel is in a very good location. Although the room was nice the lights in the room were very dim. The light had a dimmer but the highest setting was dim. I found it difficult to read small print and had to use the bathroom light if I needed to read something.

There are a few things which needs to be improved.....breakfast could have scrambled eggs and some baked beans. There should be more options on the coffee/espresso machine. Housekeeping should be more quiet and mindful about guests sleeping in and the amount of noise they are making.
