Advantages: Great location, right in the heart of Reyjkavik downtown. Disadvantages: 1. Difficult to find. There is a handpainted sign on the wall but it's difficult to find." The best way to find the hotel is to look for Kron's Restaurant. Kron's appears to be part of the hotel. 2. The check-in is online. You will get an email on the day that you check in. Therefore, it would be very difficult if you wish to store bags in advance of the check in. Kron's proprietor was kind enough to allow me to leave my luggage in her restaurant. This is also a problem if you booked the property through a third-party site. You have to call the hotel to give them your phone number. 3. The rooms require updating though there is kitchenette (with some plates, bowls, silverware, and pots and pans.) My room in the rear was spacious and had a terrace but the terrace was not maintained well and the terrace furniture was sad. The guests in the adjoining room used their terrace and unfortunately I could hear their conversations. 4. The blinds on my windows were inadequate to block the 24 hour sunlight during the "night." 5. There is no one on the premises, except those who clean the rooms on the checkout days. 6. Bring your own toiletries.
