Staying at this hotel feels like being in the countryside, yet with easy access to pubs, restaurants, and shops just around the corner. The minimalist style creates a perfect setting for a mini-break right in the heart of historic Reykjavik with convenient parking in front of the hotel. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, and the room layout is more akin to an apartment.

However, there were some limited storage options in the rooms and the breakfast was a bit limited in choices.
