Everything! The food! The tea station! The staff! We want back asap

Claire United States of America

the staff was great, breakfast was delicious, and the toiletries they provide are lovely

Angela United States of America

The breakfast was very good but maybe they could have had more variety from day to day. Also, I'm on a gluten free diet and the staff didn't know which products had gluten in them or not.

Terri United States of America

All services and facilities were very good to excellent.

Peter United States of America

Meeting the staff and operating family. Icelanders are somewhat like birds never exposed to humans, warms, curious and very giving!

Peter United States of America

I loved that this place was an eco friendly hotel. The room was gorgeous and had everything I needed, even a luggage rack which is extremely useful. The front desk was helpful friendly.

Adellesf United States of America

This property was warm and inviting and while the room was small I actually really enjoyed the quaint and comfortable atmosphere. The staff was wonderful as was the food and drink. I should note, the travel to downtown, while about 20 minutes on foot, was very easy. I felt safe as a first time solo, international and woman traveler.

Sarah United States of America

There were no sheets in between the cover and bed.

Dechantell United States of America

Really nuca hotel, comfortable and good spaces, breakfast is good, service good.

Pilar Mexico

A beautiful hotel, close to the downtown shopping and restaurant areas without actually being in it (so it was a quiet area!). The staff was always pleasant and helpful, especially Angelika, who always seemed to be on duty whenever we needed help with something (confirming a bus tour, printing our COVID tests for our return trip). She was amazing! We loved that the hotel has a focus on sustainability, with lots of little things they do differently that add up!
