Laugavegur & Skólavörðustígur


The location couldn't be better, in a quiet street to one side of Skolavörðustígur and with Hallgrímskirkja just steps away. Inside find simple rooms with hardwood floors, shared bathrooms and a well-equipped guest kitchen. On the downside, the soundproofing isn't that good.
