This place felt like a home away from home in large thanks to the incredibly friendly staff. Everyone was genuinely happy to see and it help you.
The location, near to the Myrargata public bus stop, is perfect for day tours. Most your companies will offer pickup at the “blue stop” which is just out front and to the left (facing the harbor) of the hotel entrance. It’s also close enough to the city center to walk (weather permitting) to city tour meet up points or to tour the city on your own. This also doubled as great for me over New Years considering I could watch the display of fireworks from the hotel window 👍🏾👍🏾 vs the -6 C weather 🥶
This location also kept you close to plenty of dining options including authentic Napoleon pizza at Flatey’s, Vietnamese Pho or try the popular fish dishes, Arctic char & fish (cod) and chips at Icelandic Fish & Chips just behind the hotel on Myrargata.
The rooms themselves were mega comfy and spacious enough without being obnoxious. The attention to detail and various calls to action sporadically around the room as decor deserve a round of applause. The bathroom though presented as small was wonderful and stocked well enough that I didn’t require room service for the length of my weeks stay!
The common areas offer traditional Icelandic figurines and provide an Instagram friendly aesthetic in more ways than one....This place felt like a home away from home in large thanks to the incredibly friendly staff. Everyone was genuinely happy to see and it help you.

The common areas offer traditional Icelandic figurines and provide an Instagram friendly aesthetic in more ways than one. I never caught breakfast because I was busy day touring but I did catch the happy hour and enjoyed the tacos and wings w blue cheese with a couple of beers at discounted pricing at the attached restaurant, Slippbarinn.
The television, wifi struggled w connection. And speaking of wifi, you only get access to the free wifi on one device then are asked to upgrade for further access. At one point the electricity went out for a nice handful of hours (due to a cyclone larger than they’ve seen in a decade so…). I also had more than a few issues w my keys not working so be sure to ask they set the default expiration on the key cards to the day after your checkout to help avoid the frustration.
If I return to Iceland, the Icelandair Reykjavik Marina will be first choice.More
