If you're in Reykjavik and want a DOWNTOWN, CENTRAL space to stay, THIS is it. Bus Stop #3...which is a super common bus stop for tours, airport transit, etc. is just ~2-3 blocks east. As for hotel, it's very quiet, clean and safe and I was up high (6th floor) and even on Fri/Sat the sound wasn't bad. The window can be cracked to let cool air in (which is good - the heat knobs can be finnicky/warm up room too much). The staff are super nice and the cat (Bactus?) is adorable. But seriously - the location is terrific. Staff will even show the best place to buy food (Kronen, like ~5-6 blocks east) to save lots of $$$ over closer 24/7 store 2 blocks away. Easy walking to Lava Show, Whales Of Iceland, boats, ferris wheel, etc. PERFECT FOR SOLO TRAVELERS.
