Stayed in a 2 bed-2 bath apartment in the old Printing Press Building. The building where the hotel reception desk is located was about 2 blocks from the building we stayed in. Easily walkable via sidewalks w/ suitcases when room was available. Arrived from airport before 9am. Reception stored our bags and we headed out to explore Reykjavik expecting our room around 3pm (check-in time). To our surprise, our room was ready before 1pm! The reception desk staff were excellent, helpful and friendly both at check-in and check-out. They also stored our bags at check-out (11am). We didn't leave for the airport until 1:30pm for our 4:50pm flight. The hotel staff were super helpful and friendly. Can't say that enough! We paid for r/t transportation via the hotel for 4 adults with 4 large suitcases and carry-ons. Everything went like clockwork! We ordered the breakfast basket on the first morning and the last morning. The basket from the first morning was enough that we ate items from it the next two mornings before our tours! Bread was SO GOOD! We had a coffee machine with various coffee pods and hot chocolate that was refilled every day. Used a lot of them and never ran out! Previous posts/photos we reviewed before staying here showed washers/dryers in the apartments. Not in ours... but NOT a problem as free washers/dryers are down on the 1st floor. Hotel is awesome, central to everything, walked everywhere easily! Used Bus Stop 6 for ALL our tours. Short 8-10 min walk to Stop 6!

A very quick stopover

Beautiful accommodation in a convenient location. Requires you to download an app to get the key to enter the apartment. I was only there for a short time but it would have been a great place to stay for a couple of nights.

Have stayed in this property before. It is not one property but actually a series of buildings. The room we stayed in in the past was nice. This time, the space was tiny, the area was incredibly noisy and there were lights outside the room that were on all night. It was annoying. Had I known we would be staying on this building, I would have NEVER booked it. Totally disappointing for the price. I could have stayed at one of the nicer hotels in Reykjavik for the same price.

Later in the evening we spoke with Mikkel, he answered our questions thoroughly and was extremely helpful. Thank you so much for making our stay phenomenal!

This is a fantastic hotel and property. Staff was outstanding! 10 stars would not be enough. In heart of Reykjavík tourist area and near bus stop 14 for excursions. Bonus supermarket close walking distance. They even provided some complimentary milk, juice, cereal. This is the most accommodating hotel I have ever stayed at. I would definitely stay here again and not hesitate to recommend it.
