Very good hotel for a city break in Reykjavik
Pros:

Very good value for money in Reykjavik. Very good location right on the marina, easy walking distance to most things in Reykjavik and close to bus stop 4 if doing any activities with Reykjavik excursions.
Good sized room, bed comfy and bathroom was good size and always very warm.
Bakery and restaurant on site are very good (have to pay) but the bakery can get very busy

Cons:

Nothing major, pillows weren’t to my liking but still comfy enough.
