100% recommend
Pros:

Great location, lovely room and very clean. Breakfast was filling with lots of options. The staff here are just fantastic, so helpful, friendly, polite and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this hotel and if I ever come back to Iceland I would be more than happy to stay here again.

A Spartan would complain the mattress is too soft, and be happy with the room…but it served its purpose 110%.
Pros:

A wonderful small hotel of very basic character, and a very helpful staff.

My single room was perhaps 3 x 4 m, and truly plain, having what is needed and nothing more. The bathroom is about 1/3 that, but perfectly functional and usable. That being said, the single bed was comfortable and the room was quiet.

The complementary continental breakfast was certainly on the more generous end of this style, and a very welcome inclusion in a city known for its eye-watering prices.

A garage under the hotel is available for guests, as are 5 spots on the ramp on the Snorrabraut end of the hotel. Simply turn onto Hvertfisgata from Snorrabraut and look for the ramp down to the right, under the large Skuggi sign. The remainder of the parking area down the ramp is not for hotel patrons, garage access is via a room card.

The staff is friendly, guest oriented, and a credit to the hotel.

Great location, nice hotel, breakfast and parking included
Pros:

This was a super convenient hotel to stay at in the city. Everything was within walking distance and there was no need to rent a car if you wanted to stay in the city or take a tour and have the tour bus pick you up. We rented a car and enjoyed doing our own thing, so the free parking came in handy. Breakfast was included, which was nice. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was amazing. We will definitely stay here again because it was just so conveniently located to everything.

Good location
Pros:

This is a good hotel located within easy walking distance of the centre of Reykjavik with shops, bars and resturants less than a block away. It has parking on site and the buffet style breakfast was very good, plenty of fresh produce and lot's of choice. We didn't use the bar area or lounges except for breakfast, but they seemed nice. The room was well equipped and comfortable, though decor was a little tired in a few places and our room did smell a little of stale smoke, considering it was a non-smoking room. Overall we would recommend it and use it again.

Nice hotel with great location
Pros:

Nice wooden floors in the rooms - great for wet snow boots. Good clean separate bathroom.
Location was excellent - less than 10min walk to bus stop 12 where a lot of guided tours start. It's about 5mins walk down to the Foodhall, and 20m walk to the BSI bus terminal.
Breakfast was good - no hot food selection but they made up for it with plenty of breads, salads, cereal to choose from.
Staff were super friendly.
Decent free WiFi.

Pros:

Hotel perfect in comfort, breakfast & location. Only thing that could be improved are the female receptionists! Very solemn, not a lot of interaction on arrival, no advice/information given for best trips etc, not a very warm welcome.

Stylish hotel in great location
Pros:

We really liked our hotel and would definitely consider staying there again. The location was great - close to the main street (a few minutes walk) but very quiet. Bathroom was very stylish and you actually have a proper shower tray to put shampoo, etc. And also the unit under the sink is very useful for storing washbags. Great breakfast included. No hot option but plenty of lovely fruit, cereal, croissants. All you can eat and plenty of choice. The bed was very, very comfortable. There are optional black out blinds, which we used. Slept great because the room was so quiet and dark. My only small complaint is that there is no make up mirror at the desk - no mirror at all. You can opt in or out for room cleaning but I think there should be an option that you can tick that is just for clean cups, new teabags, etc...
