Spacious room, comfortable bed, good shower pressure. European locking door had us a bit confused, but no problem once we got shown lol. Decent pizza place nearby, but mostly fast food otherwise. Has a small kitchen area with a microwave.

Watch out for hidden fees
On check in I was told I had to pay a tourist tax, which I did assuming it was normal in the Reykjavik area. However afterwards I checked the booking receipt and it claimed that taxes were included in the price. Also some internet research suggests tourist tax applies throughout Iceland yet all the other hotels we stayed at included it in the price.

A good location near the city but away from the noise and lights. The view from our windows were great.
The best thing though is the people! Anna had lots of friendly advice and helpful suggestions and Birita was lovely. The owner also introduced himself.
