Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were very clean and beds are comfortable. They pointed out the free parking areas which was much appreciated. Once you figure out the one way streets in the downtown, its all good. And a quick 2 minute walk to the hotdog stand....

Location is perfect. You can walk to everything very easily and many bus stops near by as well. Lots of shopping nearby as well as bars/ restaurants. Which does cause some noise late at night

Gorgeous, quirky foyer. Super helpful and friendly staff. Beautiful room. But beware this is the center of town and it can get lively at night. But you shouldn’t be here to sleep, get out there amongst it. Having said that, the street outside the hotel is nowhere near as loud as other reviews have mentioned (we were at the back of the property though). This is the place to be if you want bars, dining and convenience. Loved our stay here.

The bed was very comfortable. We arrived at KEF at 6:30am and put in a full day in town. It was a great place to prepare for the rest of our trip. Parking and driving in center city is very difficult. A lot of one way streets with parking only in designated areas. When GPS tells you to stop and park, believe it the first time.

Hotel in center of Reykjavik.

Nice hotel in the center of Reykjavik, close to the central shopping street. The placement also results in some noice during the night from the bars in the area.
