The views was awesome but the toilet has a smelly smell. The free hot chocolate helps a lot in wintertime.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the view and found the complimentary hot chocolate comforting during the winter season. We’re sorry to hear about the issue with the bathroom smell — due to the natural geothermal activity in Iceland, a sulfur scent can sometimes be present, especially in hot water. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again in the future.Best regards,Hotel Leifur Eiriksson Team

A good little hotel that works for a single traveler. Everything is basic but works and rooms look nicely renovated. There's just no elevator for those with a lot of luggage and the windows are very thin so you hear all the noise from the outside especially if you're facing the church.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you found our hotel suitable for single travelers and appreciated the renovated rooms. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the lack of an elevator and the noice. We understand how important a quiet room is, and we recommend requesting a room away from the street for a more peaceful stay. We hope to welcome you back soon!

Great help for the bookings of the stay and the tours. And the place is just in a stunning location. Ask for the rooms with the church view. Many shops and restaurants near by, be sure to book tables early. Specially the Front desk ladies ( like Morito) were very friendly, helpful and perfect to assure a great stay.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you so much for your outstanding review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay, from the stunning location and nearby restaurants to the helpful service at the front desk.

Thank you again for your kind words — we look forward to welcoming you back!Best regards,Hotel Leifur Eiriksson Team

It's great, except that the bathroom is small and there is no toilet paper. But you can see the church as soon as you open the curtains. If you are lucky, you can lie down and watch the aurora and the church together, so I highly recommend it.

They even gave us breakfast (with vegetables and fruits, which is worth two or three hundred dollars in Iceland). The restaurant is very beautiful and I like to eat yan fish. I like it in the UK. The only drawback is that there is no elevator. Fortunately, we live on the first floor. The environment is amazing, and the two terraces face the cathedral! The milk at the 24-hour coffee shop is also delicious.

Very convenient, the hotel closest to the church, almost at the main entrance, you can get there at any time by walking around. The first floor is very cozy, you can enjoy free coffee and hot tea. The small room on the second floor is just right for one person. People in China may think it is a bit like a Japanese hotel, with its own bathroom. No elevator.
