Fantastic! The location is unbeatable, directly facing the church. You can even lie in bed and see the church!

A wonderful experience with excellent room condition, very friendly for 1-person travelling. Right next to the Hallgrimskirkja you can hear the bell rings.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, directly across from Hallgrímskirkja Church, making it incredibly convenient to walk to all the city center attractions. The staff were friendly and efficient, and check-in was smooth. The facilities are basic but sufficient. However, the overall room environment and cleanliness were only average; the decor feels a bit dated, and soundproofing is just okay. For a hotel in downtown Reykjavik, the ease of getting around is a huge plus, making it suitable for short stays.

The room was decent, though a bit small overall. If it's a standard room, the beds are only 0.8 meters wide, which is quite narrow and might be a struggle for taller people to sleep comfortably. We stayed on the top floor and could see the sunset, which was lovely. The location is excellent, and the Japanese lady at the front desk was very elegant. The photos show the hotel, the church at the hotel entrance, and the sunset from the attic, for your reference.

The hotel is conveniently located near the bus station, about a ten-minute walk away. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the room is clean. It's close to most attractions, and the breakfast is excellent. They also have 24-hour coffee available. I would definitely stay here again.

The location is super convenient, definitely a top choice in the city center, right across from the church. The front desk staff were really nice and patiently showed me how to book the airport bus 👍. However, it's not suitable if you have a lot of luggage, as carrying it up several flights of stairs would be a struggle 😅.

The hotel has a great location with a view of Hallgrímskirkja Church right outside the window. The room was a bit small and there's no elevator, but it had a cozy vibe. The staff were very helpful and answered all our questions well. It's super convenient for getting around, with Flybus Stop 8 right next door.

Noisy on the street at night. Very small shower. Otherwise clean and tidy with nice and helpful staff.

Super friendly staff, best location in town. Only negative thing I can say is, despite our rooms not being booked by anyone else prior and being ready for us, the hotel wanted to charge by the hour for early check in. If you have luggage with you, they'll also charge you to store that too if you are early to 2pm check in. As our flight arrived at 6AM it meant we had to haul our luggage around or pay the price which was inconvenient. Otherwise great spot, would return!
