Lovely Leif Erikson

The hotel was very comfortable, and the staff was very nice. The room was fine, as well. The only drawback was that they had no elevator. Three flights of stairs with bags was no fun! But the location was great!

Right in front of the big church, convenient location. I was out on the 4th floor, no elevator. Shower room was a part of the toilet room and need to remove pretty much everything so the water won’t get to them. I was only here for 2 nights so it served the purpose.

perfect location

This hotel is right across from the Hallgrimskirkja. Perfect location. Just a 2-3 minute walk to famous Rainbow Street. Staff very helpful. We were on the top floor. It was a very small room, but there for the trip, not to stay in room. Bathroom small, lighting could have been better. We were comfortable...difficult to rate mattress d/t everyone's personal preference. But it wasn't rock hard or so soft we were sinking in it. Breakfast buffet includes eggs, fruit, breads, meats, pastries. We recommend this hotel d/t location. It is at bus stop #8, so if taking bus shuttle from airport, it is a one minute walk to hotel.

Disliked: Amenities
Room was micro-sized. Shower was similar to a small yacht shower entirely within the micro lavatory separated by a shower curtain. Shower floor was the same floor as the bathroom floor. Slippery floor in the shower equals slippery floor in the entire tiny bathroom. Bed against one wall with about two feet clear on the access side.

Excellent hotel. Great staff. Great location. The church is like a beacon so you cannot get lost. Lots of great eating places to walk, and great shopping too. Convenient to the bus station for to/from the airport. Highly recommend.

The location of the property was perfect. Walking distance to a lot of local shops & restaurants. The breakfast was alright, nothing special. The parking was a problem though, during my entire stay there wasn’t any parking in the free lot off site and I paid for street parking every couple hours. It was annoying to have to think of that . The WiFi in the room was spotty and kept going in and out. The only place where I never had any issues with the WiFi was in the lobby. While the hotel was decent, there are better options in the area. I wouldn’t stay there again.

Perfect location, just steps away from everything downtown. Also just steps away from bus stop 8 that FlyBus stops at, which will take you just about anywhere. Front desk was kind and helpful at anytime.

This was the best hotel for our stay. Directly across the church made for easy walking around the city. The hotel staff were exceptionally nice and helped give us many ideas on where to go. The hotel was very cute and comfy. Would definitely stay here again.

Totally recommended

Great hotel with excellent location, if you only have a day at Reykjavík this is the place to stay because all touristic spots are walking distance. The girl at the front desk during mornings and another lady named Sophie were so helpful. Breakfast was fresh and good (specially a black bread). The room was a little small but clean and cozy with a beautiful window view of Hallgrimskirkja.
