Great location, close to main shopping area and restaurants. Try to get a “deluxe” room at the front so you get a partial view of the water. The back had a view of construction.

The room was basic but clean and had everything we needed. The shower was hot and the bed comfy. Perfect location, 3 minute walk from Laugavegur, close to the harbour and a lovely viewing spot out to sea and the northern lights if you’re lucky! Parking at the hotel is expensive but there is cheaper parking close by.

An enjoyable stay in a hotel set in a building built in 1898. The staff was excellent and helped us get checked in early (for a small fee). The complementary breakfast was very good. The hotel is located just a couple blocks from the shopping district and we found we could walk just about anywhere.
