In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Unbeatable central location — Guests consistently highlight the hotel's position in the Reykjavik 101 district, close to Harpa Concert Hall, bus stop 7, and the main excursion pickup point.
- Apartment-style flexibility — Rooms come with kitchenettes and washing machines, letting you cook and do laundry independently. Several guests noted this as a standout feature.
- Thoughtful breakfast basket — A daily breakfast basket with fresh bread is delivered to your room, a detail multiple guests appreciated for its quality and convenience.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The hotel doesn't list parking as an amenity. Guests mention parking nearby, but availability may vary.
- Pets not allowed — The property has a strict no-pets policy, which may limit travel plans for those with animals.
- Check-in window starts at 15:00 — Check-in begins at 3 pm and runs until just before midnight, so early arrivals won't be able to drop bags until then (though luggage storage is available).
- Rooms score lower than location — While the location earns a 9, the rooms and cleanliness category sits at 7, suggesting the accommodation itself may feel more basic relative to its surroundings.
