Reviews
A pub across the street stayed loud until 4:00 a.m., making it impossible to sleep.
Absolutely not recommended for anyone who values rest.
Clean room and helpful staff which made us feel great for our trip in iceland
Highly recommended.
The room was comfortable, clean, and well-equipped, with everything you need for a pleasant stay. Despite being in a central location, the soundproofing was very good, making it easy to rest.
The staff was very friendly and always willing to help with recommendations or any needs that arose. I would also highlight the breakfast, varied and tasty, perfect for starting the day with energy.
