Rooms are nice, cosy, Found a toenail by the headrest and fake lashes on the floor. I could get past that as rooms were nice. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hold luggage room is in the basement. Breakfast was great. Variety of foods and buffet style. Lovely and very central so everything is in walking distance. They have paper maps at the desk for you to rip off and take which is a nice touch.

Perfect location if you have earlier flight, it's 10min drive only to airport
20.03.2026 Guest
It takes 5 minutes to walk to the hotel after getting off from the stop assigned by the Flybus plus services. Yet, the hotel is close to the city centre with lots of shops & restaurants nearby. The cleanliness and the breakfast is very general.
05.03.2026 Alex
The hotel staff were all realy friendly and helpful.

Location was perfect, 5 min walk from the main bus stops and right on the high street.

Rooms were realy big with a little kitchenette too which we weren't expecting.

One night the bar next door had renovations going on untill gone past midnight which kept us awake as it was against our room wall. Spoke to the receptionist the next morning and they sent and had words with them for us.

My only quelm for the place is the breakfast is all cold food (continental) small selecfions of cold cuts of meat, bread, pastry and cereal which after 2 days gets boring as hell. Ended up going out for breakfast a couple of days just to give us something more.
Not only this but in the elevator there was an advertisement that said you could get fish and chips and lava cake for pudding for 4900 if you are a guest....
Which we told the restaurant and they took off 10% ..... and then added 11% vat.... so it came out the same price anyway so thats a bit of false advertisement. No issue with vat in general but it should be stated on the advert.

This hotel is in the best location- very close to rainbow street, bus stops, grocery store, second hand store, and much more! Even being in the middle of everything it is quiet and homey feeling. Extremely cozy, charming, and well thought out.

Stayed for 2 nights in November for a quick Rekjavik city break. The hotel is in a great location, was super clean, comfortable and the staff were friendly. Great breakfast. Would highly recommend.

A serious pizza to be fair. Great job. I'll be back again soon.
31.12.2017 Venkatesh
Try the ravioli. Very good. Order a pizza to go. The quantity is so less you would feel hungry soon.
27.12.2017 Magnus
F**ing disgusting. We were sitting next to the pizza maker. The heaters where behind us. The waiter then dropped our childrens pizza right in front of us, told us that they would make another one. The waiter put the pizza RIGHT ON THE HEATER BEHIND US. Then a few moments later he brought it back to us. Claiming it was a new one.

When the food is ready, the chef yells at you like your parents would, if you had done something that was definitly not right! ? But the food is delicious, best noodles i've had in a long time. Everything is fresh and made from scratch!
28.07.2017 Katie
Super delicious noodle house with noodle soups with different bases. Very easy to get vegetarian options of all their dishes and they have a good range of spiciness to choose from. Went back twice, it was so good! Prices are decent for Reykjavik and the quantity was very generous.

My friends and I touring Iceland came here on a Sat night around 9pm. It was still early enough where they had an acoustic guitarist singing cover songs. It wasn't that busy and had available seating at the time. It was nice and chill and we got to sing along too! However sometime later they started taking away the tables and chairs and more and more and MORE people started pouring in! Young crowd too. We got super lucky bc a group of people left their booth table which ended up being right by the DJ. At this point the it was a packed club (which I didn't expect at all lol). As with any packed club, it was very hard to get drinks and to move anywhere in the bar, and there was a long line for the bathroom to which my friends also added that 2 chicks got in a fight (sounds kinda interesting actually). They played American Music the rest of the night and even with the negative aspects of busy clubs, I still had a grand time, but of course alcohol helps lol.
01.10.2017 RustlingMedusa
Top quality sound system, my wife and I heard the music (and revellers) extremely clearly in my hotel over 50 metres away and all night long to boot! The set was top notch with good flow and a good selection of various upbeat music, the sound system made it so clear I could "shazam" over 80% of the DJ's set!
What an experience!
11/10 would definitely not sleep again!
13.09.2017 Rohith
Don't even think of going there. The worst club I have ever been to. 200 people cramped in a place where it can hold maximum 50 People spilling beer all over the place, drunk fightings, I can go on and on.

Great place, been there several times. Always great service and nice staff. Their MangoTango is phenomenal
