“What stands out is its position directly opposite Hallgrímskirkja Church, which is obviously amazing. The hotel seems to be trying to balance its unique historic architecture with modern expectations, a challenge given some reports of small bathrooms and extra charges for early check-in. However, its central location on Skólavörðustígur, with that lively bar scene and inclusive breakfast, likely wins out for those wanting to dive right into Reykjavik.”

iconic churchflimsy curtainawkward shower
the location was great , placing me right in front of the iconic church.
My room was quite small , and the bathroom was even smaller. the shower setup was awkward . The curtain felt flimsy and didn't prevent water from splashing everywhere.
