“The location was perfect for my needs, with excellent service and a generously sized room. It was close to all the main attractions, a sports outlet with 50% off Columbia clothing, and the old harbour with plenty of dining options. I stayed four nights and was sorry to leave.”

“I would happily stay here again with no complaints. The setting by the sea is lovely, and the staff are attentive and doing a nice job. Excellent service is a plus, and the bathroom had a good shower, hair dryers, and bath sheets. The location is fantastic, close to Reykjavik Harbour and right by the blue bus stop.”
