Basic but adequate. Convenient or city. Helpful desk staff. Comfortable bed. The sheets were stretchy and rather old.

We liked the fact we had a room with a sea view, staff were helpful, room was very spacious and we loved the fact there was also a little kitchenette area. Would have liked access to free wifi but they did make up for it by having access to a communal computer in the Reception area.

The shuttle bus from Reykjavik Excursions stopped at the hotel so it was easy to get to Blue Lagoon and the airport. Also, great buffet breakfast. I didn't like that this was the only place in Iceland that charged to use the wireless.

Location. It is 2 blocks away from the main shopping street. We had a quiet room with a partial view over the sea. We arrived at reception to be told that check-in is at 16h00. The rudest lady at reception barked at us to leave our bags upstairs. We did not understand what she said and she barked it again while walking away. With our bags we had to try to figure out what she meant. She redeemed herself by letting us check in early, but only after watching us struggle for an hour with the internet. The shower floods the floor as there is no step to contain the water, and the floor slants the wrong way. This left us with soaked floor towels and slippers. They give you a mop to clean up the mess - not my idea of comfort. The beds were comfortable. We chose this hotel as most others were full.

It is only a couple blocks from the harbor walkway and then only a couple blocks in the other direction from the main street with all the great shops, cafes, and restaurants. Excellent location! The doors all slam shut, which could make it hard to sleep some nights.

The room was comfortable and spacious with a lovely view of the bay. The large bathroom was especially nice after a couple of stays in hotels with showers that seemed to be the size of phone booths. The hotel was also within easy walking distance of the main shopping and entertainment district. The staff were very helpful in suggesting and booking tours. The breakfast buffet, while full of good choices, was chaotic. It was set up in a space that was too small, so that it was never clear where one should line up for what. The entire side room should have been given over to laying out the buffet instead of using part of it for seating. And yet, there didn't seem to be quite enough seating.

Excellent location. I had a room with ocean view - it's magnificent. I've got it on deal, so I payed around 70EUR/Night for double, which is good. Free parking. Good restaurant just across the road. Clean room, big, with 1 big double bed (not 2 separated). Excellent breakfast. A lot of stuff like maps, guides at the reception. In the shower it is not convenient to have only top shower. Detachable shower or hand shower would be much better.

front desk staff was very helpful. good location (quiet, 1 block from ocean, walking distance to shops and downtown interests.) Housekeeping does not do dishes (there's a letter in the room stating this) which may have been in writing when we booked but we did not see so it surprised us. Daily housekeeping is very minimal (new towels and fold the duvets.) Only 1 computer in lobby in a congested area (sometimes a wait.)

Complimentary breakfast was included in the room rate and the variety was good. Wi-fi is so common that it should be provided free to the guests.

Nothing. I was disappointed. I have been in many hotels in the world: first time I go to a hotel that I see a big broom in the shower. I thought it was left behind by the staff. After my shower I understood it was to sweep the water into the hole. I had to do it because the toilets were inundated with the shower water and my shoes would get wet when I used the toilets.. I was disgusted after every shower, i could not do anything as i had already paid for the 3 days i booked.

We were upgraded to a larger room which made us more comfortable. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Noisy on the weekend even though it was 2 blocks off the main street.

The staff was great. On the day we were leaving (6:30am) the front desk person opened the breakfast buffet early for us (7am is when it started). The breakfast buffet was very great! Enjoyed our stay.
