The location of Leifur Erickson is just perfect. Off the busy shopping street but about a 2 minute walk away. Very quiet and centrally located. We could walk everywhere we chose to go. Staff was helpful and friendly. The lack of a lift was troublesome only when checking in and out.

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.

Great location, the staff were amazing and so helpful to us planning what we would do and best way to do it. Smaller rooms but lovely decor and we weren’t there to spend time in the room!

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.
