The location on Brautarholt places you steps from restaurants, galleries, and Reykjavík's vibrant downtown.
Quietest hotel I have ever stayed at. The doors don't slam and make a loud click like many hotels. Also the sound proofing between walls is really good. The front desk/bar staff was fantastic (sorry I don't know anyone's names). It's easy to walk to shops and cafes. I didn't have any trouble with pickups or dropoffs from this location either. It's near bus stop 13 if you need a drop off point. It's near a bus stop if you want to do that as well. There is a buffet breakfast with a nice selection in the mornings. It's an extra charge; I think around 39,900 kr. There is no official restaurant, but they have snacks and paninis you can buy from the bar. There is a happy hour every day from 4 - 7 pm. Would definitely stay here again.
