    The staff were very helpful and kind. We only stayed one evening as a stop-over for our early morning flights. They kindly offered us breakfast before the breakfast room officially opened.

    It said that they have parking but there just happens to be 15 public parking spots in front of the hotel that you can pay for 3 hours at a time, so the hotel does not actually have parking.

    The family room is perfect for 4 people (although there is no door on the master portion, and the area with the pullout bed does not have black out shades). The breakfast was great, the location wonderful, and the staff was very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

    Some blackout curtains would've been nice as light leaked in around the shades. The first floor family suite was really noisy due to some very inconsiderate guests above us - not much the hotel can do when guests are slamming doors over and over and running around at midnight, but it was impossible to sleep through that. I would try to avoid the first floor if I returned.

    Clean, comfortable for a family of four, really great location. The kitchenette was a nice bonus. I would happily stay here again.

    Need some more closet space for clothes. A hand moisturizer lotion in the bathroom would have been great. These are minor but everything was terrific.

    Excellent location, great staff. Room was ready when we arrived at 1pm. We were able to grab breakfast before the 7AM start as we had an early morning flight.

    Can’t really think of anything!

    Great location for the city centre, and less than 5 minutes walk from Bus Stop #1 for tour buses. The room had excellent facilities including an outdoor terrace, small kitchen area with fridge drawer and electric hob, for cooking, and making hot drinks, and lovely shower room with excellent toiletries. The breakfast buffet was fantastic with fresh fruit, cereals, yogurts, bread, pastries, cold meats, cheeses and scrambled eggs and bacon and pancakes, teas, coffee and juices. Very helpful pleasant staff and they are happy for you to get in takeaway food, or cook/prepare food in the kitchen in your room as eating out in Reykjavík is expensive.

    We forgot my wife passeport in the safe ,we realized it at the other side of Island . We called for them to look in the safe and they said it was not there we drove 6 hours to come back to Reykjavik to go make a passport at the Canadian embassy. But rented the same room ….. and we found our passport. Clearly someone didn’t check properly. That completely changed our vacation for the 60th birthday or my spouse . But if you don’t need to find something you have forgotten. The place is great

    This is not about the hotel - but for first time travelers to Reykjavik - especially those used to "Indian definition of working hours" - please note that 7pm is 'late' and all shops are closed. If you want to buy something - apart from the round the clock departmental stores - nothing will be available between 7pm and 9am next morning.

    First and foremost - extremely courteous staff!! Especially Yakub - if you stay in that hotel, please do chat with him. Excellent rooms - good spacious with all the required amenities. Close to most restaurants. Not too far from the local sightseeing places, Sky Lagoon and domestic airport.

    Nothing really… The breakfast was very good and plentiful, but we did miss having more healthy options like skyr yogurt and fresh machine-made coffee. Also, more effective blackout curtains would have been a bonus, especially for the children.

    We really enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious, quiet, and very comfortable, with a large bathroom and an excellent shower. The hotel has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is also a big plus—within easy walking distance to restaurants and major tourist attractions.
