    It was quite a good stay but not excellent. The rooms were difficult to find at first . They provided a map to find the room , 🥲. Other than that everything were near perfect and the location is fab.

    Excellent location just beside the Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavik. We were in the other property across the road so had a shared bathroom and pantry area. Breakfast was self service in the conservatory with a good selection of cereals, fresh bread...
