Small hotel that serves as a good place to spend the night. Good location but small rooms, classic European size. 4 floors no elevator but staff helped with suitcases. Right in front of large church.

Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's excellent location, which is close to restaurants and attractions. However, many reviews highlighted issues with room size, describing them as tiny and cramped. Cleanliness was also a concern, with several guests mentioning unpleasant odors and dirty conditions. Overall, while the location is a strong point, the hotel falls short in terms of comfort and hygiene.AI-generated from customer reviews

Pros (+) Cheap
Cons (-) Crummy bathroom with no place or room for anything. Sulfurous stench water (not filtered as is needed in Reykjavik water system). Noisy smoker area outside tenant windows that kept me awake until four thirty am then restarted at six am). Paper thin walls. Dirty carpets. Just a dump that’s milking tourists.
Pros (+) Walking distance to the main strip, restaurants, shopping, night life. Staff was very friendly. Cute lobby/lounge area.
Cons (-) Room was tiny!! Very outdated. Bathroom smelled strongly of urine. Wasn't horrible, 3 star hotel. Wouldn't stay more than a night or 2
