In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Unbeatable location next to Hallgrimskirkja — The hotel is directly beside Reykjavik's iconic church, and within a short walk of Laugavegur, the main shopping street.
- Clean and tidy rooms — Guests consistently describe the rooms as well-organized and spotless, with housekeeping on a daily basis.
- Friendly and helpful staff — The front desk team receives particular praise for being extremely accommodating and assisting with tours and tickets.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Small rooms and minimal amenities — Rooms are compact and come with only a shower and heating. There is no air conditioning, and no pets are allowed.
- Breakfast is light — The included breakfast is described as light, with pastries and cheese, so those expecting a full hot spread may be underwhelmed.
- Check-out window is early — Check-out is from 04:00 to 11:00, which may feel tight for guests who prefer a later morning departure.
