The staff is very professional and helpful. We had an early arrival on an overnight flight and the staff was very responsive and helpful throughout. The rooms are very clean and the location is very central to local attractions and eateries. Highly recommend this hotel, but it’s the staff that makes the experience that much better.

Loved our experience. Anna, the owner of the hotel is a real Mensch. We had multiple conversations and her warmth and knowledge about Reykjavik and Iceland was great. Our room was a dream and yes, the church clock chimes regularly and we loved it. Great location too!! Parking with meters. Breakfast was good and pricey — like everything in Iceland right now (July 2026). We would 100% stay again at this hotel!! It was one of the highlight La of our trip!!

My family stayed for 4 nights right at the summer solstice. The location is amazing, you're walking distance to just about everything in Reykjavik. Once we figured out how to park & pay via app, it was always easy to find a spot close to the hotel and not pay too much. The suite was plenty big for the 4 of us, the room was clean and cute, and the staff was always very friendly.
