Perfect Location with Stunning Rooftop Views
Pros:

I stayed here with my wife for 5 nights and absolutely loved my experience. The location is fantastic — Bus Stop #5 is just a one-minute walk away, making it very convenient for tour buses and the airport transfer. The seafront is right across the road, and everything in the city center is within walking distance.

One of the highlights was breakfast served at the rooftop bar, which offers beautiful views of the harbour and mountains. It was such a great way to start the day. The breakfast selection was good, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the entire hotel was well maintained.

Most importantly, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to provide information and assistance whenever needed.

I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Reykjavik!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would definitely return.
Pros:

We paid extra for a sea view which was wonderful, and saw Northern Lights from our room. It was only a short walk up a hill to the centre of town which was very convenient. It was just across the road from Bus stop 5 for bus tour pick ups.

Cons:

Nothing.
