We can make do with one night stay.
Pros:

Excellent breakfast and location. There was a concern about the safety of the spiral staircase in the room. It's a real head hazard. It's too easy to bump guest's head especially at night.

Cons:

1. Make some kind of modification to the spiral staircase or mark it clearly for caution.
2. The stairs in the hallway are extremely inconvenient for the guests with disability, nor for the guests with heavy suitcases.

Porta di accesso a Reykjavík
Pros:

L'albergo si trova in posizione tranquilla e con una camminata di circa venti minuti si arriva alla chiesa Hallgrímskirkja. Da qui si arriva alla via arcobaleno e a tutti i ristoranti e pub di Reykjavík. La colazione è molto ricca e varia, da consigliare. Noi ce l'avevamo inclusa per un'offerta del momento.
