Great place to stay! The owners are in the process of renovating the space and it looks gorgeous.
The location is perfect for exploring the old town, close to bus stops for tours, and taxi stands for transport to airport or cruise port,
Owners were really helpful with phone calls, Getting room ready early, supplying information and directions. Would stay here again... and again!
This hotel is in a great location and has a great staff. We stayed for 3 nights before a cruise and really enjoyed getting to know the city. If we have a chance to return I know where I'm staying.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The location was excellent but the two rooms were small, staff was friendly, no meals at the hotel
Excellent location for tourist activity in the city. Let the staff arrange taxi pickups for you; they know the local drivers. The bathroom tap water really is cold Icelandic glacier water. No need to buy bottled water.
Close to everything. Walking distance to everything in the city center. Great restaurants nearby. Really adored my stay. We were in the back of the hotel so no problem with noise
Centrally located, plenty of restaurants, pubs, shopping in the area. Clean spacious room and bathroom. We were able to leave our luggage at 9 a.m. after disembarking our cruise. Reception very pleasant and helpful.
Great, central location that can’t be beat by many others. The staff, along with everyone else we encountered, were very friendly and helpful. Baktus the cat was an extra cute amenity, and we loved trying to find him as he migrated from the hotel to shops around the area throughout the day as a little animal celebrity :) The bed was not very large, but the room was comfortable and clean. That being said, the street could be quite loud, even to 3 in the morning, so light sleepers might need earplugs (we were on the top floor). Would certainly stay again though!
Great hotel with friendly staff, interesting decor, and super convenient location. The missing star is only because the common noise complaints are real, since the hotel is situated above the American Bar. But what it loses in noise it makes up for in its location, which seems like a decent trade off. Would stay here again.
