    A well sited Hotel not far from the Main streets and sights of Reykjavik. We only spent one night and it was adequate. Room was ok in size with fridge and coffee making facilties. Bathroom was small but ok. Room over looked street but it wasn't overly noisy at anytime. 15 minute walk to the Central Reykjavik and same to the sea promenade/walkway. Recommended for a 1 or 2 night stay locally.

    I gave a lower score to value for money only because I think it could be a bit less expensive, but Iceland is expensive, so not really a problem.

    Location perfect! Away from the buzz in town but very close to the main streets, restaurants, bars, services. Room: it looks like an old hotel but the room was great size, bed and pillows very comfortable, shower ok, did it's job. Nothing bad to say. Reception: unfortunately I didnt catch her name but the girl in reception in day time was soooo helpful and polite. Breakfast amazing! Many options to choose from for all tastes.

    If you are a light sleeper and you pick one of those renovated rooms on the ground floor, I recommend bringing earplugs and maybe a sleep mask. Windows in my room were next to garage entry, not a big issue but there was heavy traffic around 10-11 pm and then in the morning.

    Hotel staff was very polite and helpful Spacious room with both shower and bath in the bathroom Comfy and big bed Amazing breakfast with lots of choice (English breakfast, continental, lots of fruits and veggies, pastry, even waffles) Luggage storage available after check out British TV channels on TV, nothing like catching up on old Kitchen Nightmares episodes after a long day of activities 😀 Quiet neighborhood, just few minute walk to the center

    small rooms. We're a family of 5, had to reserve 2 rooms. Rooms were on the same floor but not next to each other so kids were in one room down the hall, we were in the other room. But, last minute reservations so couldn't be helped

    Price was good and able to reserve a room a that last minute.

    The breakfast was good but we arrived at 9:15 and the staff kept on taking away our plates and reminding us the closing time is 10:00, to a point that I feel it is rude.

    The front desk staff Katrina was very helpful and professional. The location is good. It is near the bus stops and the city.

    Reception desk staff were friendly, but service at the desk could have been faster. It seemed to take an unusually long time to process each party, but there could have been technical or other issues.

    The breakfast was excellent (especially the skyr), the reception desk staff were friendly and the hotel's location was very convenient to the main downtown area. The room was basic, but clean.

    My only issue was my room had a balcony which needed tidying up and weeds removing, it was also in need of fresh paint, it spoilt what would have been a nice view over the city.

    The location was great for me, not far from one of the main streets for bars and restaurants and also a short walk from bus stop 13 which was a pick up/drop off point for both the airport shuttle and the many different tour companies for day trips out of Reykjavik. Breakfast was excellent and the staff at the front desk were very helpful.

    Only had street parking opposite the hotel which was free. It was a roll of the dice if you could get parking there or not.

    Had everything you need in a hotel room. Was walking distance to the centre of town.

    The washrooms were a little outdated, but still good.

    Our room occupied 3 people. Each of us has Individual beds. The room was spacious there was a couch for lounging and the washroom was a great size. The included breakfast was so good! More than what we expected. The staff at the front freak were very helpful and friendly. It was easy to get to and from the hotel. We walked to all of our tour pick up spots or tour picked us up from the hotel. Out Leisure days, we walked all of down town, to the water front, music hall and back. I would come back.

    Not the greatest view on the ground floor, but everything else more than makes up for it.

    The superior rooms are really nice and the breakfast is fantastic -- loads of choice. The street seems quite quiet too.

    The family suite was very dated and worn. I felt bad interrupting the front desk to stop what they were doing to open the locked parking garage door to let us in and out with our car.

    The breakfast was very delicious and a great value and quality for free breakfast buffets. The location was great and quiet neighborhood that felt safe. Free and easy garage parking for cars was great when trying to compete with street parking.
