Great central location close to all the nightlife, shops, cafes, restaurants, places of interest
Pros:

Great location in the centre of the City. Large room with kettle, tea & coffee. Lovely shower, TV in room. Very friendly welcoming staff

Cons:

Not the easiest to find. Lighting in the room wasn't great. Couldn't open the window as it was noisy at night due to a bar playing loud music over the road but you have to expect this being in the centre of the city

Great little hotel in great location.
Pros:

Great little hotel in great location for exploring. Breakfast very good with lots of choice. Staff very friendly and went out of their way to arrange transport back to the airport at the end of our stay when our tour operator let us down. Would recommend.

Too noisy to sleep
Pros:

The Hotel was in a very convenient location in down town and easy to access all the bus stops and sights. The room was very comfortable and the staff friendly.
The only down side was the bar which was two doors down... we had long days seeing the sights and needed sleep but could not due to the noise from the street. This was still going at 5am which for us was too much. For this reason I would not stay at this hotel again.

Great location for exploring Reykjavik
Pros:

Great price in a great location, with easy access to all the key links in Reykjavik, such as the bus stops, the Harpa, the old harbour, as well as all the shops, restaurants and other great places to visit.

The hotel was clean, had good sustainable practices and the staff service was really friendly and helpful. The hotel offered services such as trips which unfortunately we were not aware of until our last day - so maybe a bit of up selling required there!

Breakfast was simple, but good quality and available 7-10, with plenty of space for the hotel quests.

Two minor downsides were that the building got really hot, and there were no fans or A/C in the room. We didn't ask for a fan in fairness and just slept with the window open. Due to the location of the room facing the main street, this meant there was a degree of outdoor noise - but it didn't bother us.

It was a great stay and I'd stay here again next time I am in Reykjavik.

La tua casa in centro a Reykjavìk 😀
Pros:

Struttura in pieno centro, a 10 minuti a piedi dalla stazione degli autobus da e per aeroporto, a due passi da tutto. Il personale è stato professionale e super disponibile all’aiuto. Bollitore e mini bar (per quanto scontati al nord Europa) sono stati essenziali per la sopravvivenza in un paese dove anche solo respirare costa 😌

Cons:

Nulla, davvero come a 🏠 . Forse un po’ rumoroso dato che si è prossimi a vari locali, ma basta attrezzarsi.

Not for seniors
Pros:

It was clean.

Cons:

The listing said they had an airport shuttle. They DON'T. I have limited mobility. I took the FlyBus and still had to walk 8 blocks uphill to the hotel. There 4 stairs to get into the property and 4 more stairs to the elevator. The hotel offers a breakfast but it wasn't included in my rate.

Below average !
Pros:

Location is right in center, a lot off noise from the street at night.
The hotel is right next to a "Live music bar".
Breakfast is horrible, bathroom is so small.
