"The Double Deluxe Rooms are basic but cosy, with large windows overlooking Laugavegur, soft beds and small-but-functional tiled bathrooms. Guests also have access to the top-floor balcony cafe."

"Leading to a mish-mash of styles, though it’s still family-run and as quaint as ever. The parquet-floored rooms follow a classic theme...the property is also a good place to see the Northern Lights." Full review
