Great little hotel a little off the main area
This hotel was just perfect for our first night in Iceland while we tried to shake the jet lag. Room wasn't too spacious but super cute with the canopy bed - which was very comfy. Bathroom was very clean and great bath products. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of veggie options and good coffee. Staff was friendly and check in/out was easy. The only detraction was it is about a 15 minute walk from the main downtown attractions.

Great staff. The unlimited 24/7 coffee/tea was a life saver on cold days.
The breakfast/dinner is a solid option when you are too tired to leave the hotel. Super clean, nicely decorated. I would stay here again.

I chose this hotel as it had good reviews and easy, free parking. It was 800 meters from a cafe/bakery which we walked to for breakfast. The staff are very friendly; the beds are comfortable; the room was decorated nicely; it was nice and clean and everything seemed to be in good condition. I would stay here again.
