I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but lacking charm and a cozy feel. The service was friendly and welcoming, offering a nice relaxed atmosphere. The location was convenient, close to important bus terminals and within walking distance of Reykjavik's downtown, but there was no special dining option available.

The hotel offers very nice and clean rooms, but the basic amenities for the price paid were rather disappointing. The service is quite helpful and informative. The location is great for accessing the main bus terminal easily but is not very close to downtown Reykjavik. The dining options are nothing special, and the facilities are satisfactory.

The hotel's location is excellent, close to downtown Reykjavík and major attractions. The rooms need a minor update, with a kitchen unit available. However, being in the basement and in another building not easily accessible by car were slight inconveniences.

The guesthouse is conveniently located just a short walk from the main church and downtown district. The rooms were quite okay and met my expectations for the price, though a bit small for four people. The service was exceptional, with the staff being extremely nice and helpful, even extending my checkout time due to my late flight. The dining experience, located in a different building, was simple but sufficient, although I opted not to have breakfast to stay cozy in my warm room. Overall, a great value for the money.
