    • The staff were the best part of the hotel. Rooms were very small ( we were 2 and could barely move). And lighting in room not good.
    • Room was quaint but clean and we were only there to sleep so it worked well for us! Staff was extremely helpful. We would stay again and recommend to friends!
    • Location. Receptiveness. Front rooms could reflect street noise at night but minor.

    Cons -

    • This hotel was located up a hill. If I had known this I would not have booked. As my husband has balance issues.
    • Highly recommend.
    • Noisy. Mostly from the street late at night. Especially on weekends.

    Location and the friendly staff.

    --Three steps to enter the hotel and then a half flight to access the elevator to the registration desk (2nd floor). Not easy with a heavy bag. --Room furnishings are spartan. --No safe available in room.

    6JanetPosted on: 5-28-2023

    Great location in downtown Reykjavik with shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance. We came on a cruise, took the free shuttle from the port to downtown and were able to walk to hotel in 10 minutes. Helpful and friendly staff.

    There were a few steps to get to the entry and elevator. We couldn't figure out how to change the temperature in the room.

    8TerriPosted on: 11-2-2022

    It was in a good location. Beds very comfortable. Good shower.

    I was transfered to a sister hotel at the last minute. This is the hotel I am rating. I was at the Plaza location. I was lucky enough to check my email to see hotel change message.

    10LindaPosted on: 8-19-2022

    Great location, free breakfast was excellent, staff was helpful and friendly, room was clean and spacious. Very nice hotel in a great location.

    The street is a bit noisy late at night. The temperature was quite warm while we were there and we had the windows open. The noise was dampened quite a bit with the windows closed.

    6Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 7-2-2022

    Location was excellent. Taxi picked us apart a few doors down.

    Small bed, and very,scratchy sheets.

    10VictoriaPosted on: 6-13-2022

    Older hotel that met our expectations. Location of hotel was excellent. Within walking distance of everything in the city center. Clean and well organized. Staff was excellent in friendliness, helpfulness, and knowledge of the area.

    The only negative I could mention is that the hotel is on a pedestrian only street so the bus has to let you out a couple of blocks away. But with directions, we got there easily with our wheeled luggage.

    8DavidPosted on: 6-13-2022

    Location was fantastic. Breakfast was tasty.

    Not enough power outlets for charging personal electronics. Breakfast room too crowded with tables to accommodate guests.

    7JessePosted on: 10-22-2019

    Breakfast was nice, the location was convenient.

    Very small room, only instant coffee in the room.

    5Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 9-21-2015

    The location and staff were amazing! The lady that checked us in went above and beyond to help guest get reservations a direct you wherever you were going!

    This hotel is no way a 4 star hotel. It is a 2.5 at best. The rooms are fine, but the wood is very worm cracked. The bathroom had unfinished parts above the door and the bathroom had mold everywhere. There were surge protectors and cords visible.

    Location location location!

    Rooms on the street with the nightly bar music could be somewhat noisy

    1Verified guestPosted on: 9-20-2024

    Shower was moldy. Music playing all hours of the night from bar next door.

    Location and staff

    Directions to get to the hotel were poor and hard to find

    6ChristaPosted on: 1-19-2026

    The location was central and the staff was helpful.

    I had to walk up two sets of stairs with my heavy suitcase to get to the elevator and reception. The room was basic and clean but for the price of $170 I had expected a bit more luxury.

    7SharonPosted on: 1-19-2026

    The location of the hotel was great. The breakfast and early options were very nice -- great quantity and quality of fresh foods for variety of tastes.

    I did not like the steps and crooked, iron handrail. The handrail should be replaced. The staff were accommodating for the steps. I did not like the walk to the bus stop. I thought vans would pick one up at the hotel (before booking). I have physical limitations with steps.

    9Fernando C.Posted on: 1-5-2026

    The room was nice and well equiped, the staff was really kind and helpful. Location was perfect, near everything you need as a tourist.

    Breakfast wasn't that good, overall it was quite limited. The coffee was bad, the ham and cheese was not good either. It can be improved

    10Elena-AndreeaPosted on: 11-22-2025

    The location, cleaniness and overall causiness.The room was very well heated which I enjoyed during the cold days.

    If you have dry eyes or nose, think of bringing a small humidifier or extra moisturising drops. The combo between the heating and ventilation did a number on mine. Not the fault of the hotel in any way, just a personal limitation.
