The location to the central walking district was excellent. The beds were very comfortable. The hot water and showers were great. The breakfast buffet had a good variety. It was very close to the city bus stop if you got tired of walking. It was also very close to Stop 9 for the Flybus airport transfer.

Hotel is well located near great bakeries/ coffee shops, restaurants and a grocery store (located almost right behind the hotel). Suite was great for our family of 6 (our adult kids actually enjoyed staying in the bunk beds).
Staff was helpful. Parking was convenient and reasonable with the discounted rate (see hotel staff for instructions on inputting your license plate into the system for the discount). Would recommend.

The property is close to the harbor, and easy walking distance to city center. Location is near the street so there is some traffic noise, but the hotel itself was quiet at night.
The room was very large, comfortable bedding, nicely sized and clean bathroom. There was some sulphuric smell from water but that is common there.
Big balcony with nice views. Black out curtains but was hard to completely cover all the big windows.
Reception staff was friendly and helpful.
Breakfast buffet had more than enough options and was fresh. Great coffee!
Small bar area with plenty of drink options.
Bus stops were close by.
Hallway carpet is a bit worn and the sofa sleeper in our room was also worn looking with cushions that would not stay in place.
Minor considerations. This room was a great value for the money.

We stayed in a double room with a beautiful view facing the bay. The room was clean and organized. The stay included a nice daily breakfast which included a box breakfast since we left for the airport early in the morning the last day.
The staff were amazing. It was a pleasure to have a pint at the bar at the end of a day exploring the city.
This property is in a great, quiet location with most sites in walking distance. In addition, it is a few blocks from a really nice food hall that offers a myriad of food and beverage options.

Perfect location close to everything. Great breakfast with lots of options. Staff was nice. Parking was convenient for the car we rented, you have to pay for parking but you get a discount for being a hotel guest. No AC as every other European hotel, but open a window and you will be ok. I travelled in June and the room gets a little warm, don’t know how it feels in other months.

The staff at this hotel is excellent. They are friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The lobby entrance is remodeled and looks really clean and nice. However, the rooms we got are still very dated and felt old. I’m sure it was clean but due to the wear and tear and comparison to what I saw online I was disappointed. Be prepared for the hot water to smell like sulfur due to the geothermal water. This is nothing against the hotel, just need to be aware of it. Their breakfast offered a nice buffet. Location is very conducive to walking around town and my room had a nice view of the water.

The location was nice and close to the main touristy downtown area. Our room had a nice view of the water. The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly. However, the parking lot wasn’t controlled by the hotel so there were fees and not much parking space either. The shower was quite tiny with poor pressure. The warm water had a strong sulfur aroma.

Hotel was close to the Rainbow Street, Sun Voyager and the downtown shopping area. You won’t run out of restaurants and shopping to go to. Parking was expensive and you can park in the different parking lots nearby. Room was a cramped and do not have a tap card to enter. You will get a literal key for your room. It was a good base if you are out all day exploring. I would say that its mid priced but I would explore other hotels if I were to return to Iceland.

This hotel was one of the best places I've stayed. In wonderful, but expensive Iceland, they provide a fantastic breakfast each morning that is worth the stay itself. More impressive are the helpful and friendly staff who helped me arrange transportation (I am handicapped) tours, all manner of assistance that really mattered to me. More than that, they did it all with a friendly smile and a lot of compassion. The hotel is situated in a part of the city that makes it easy to move about, as a bus stop is just up the hill, a five minute walk.

Upon arrival I wanted a shower. The shower in my room was so tiny that water splashed out all over the bathroom and flooded the floor. When I reported it to the staff, they graciously upgraded my room to a much better space. The staff was stellar always helpful with suggestions and answering questions. The on-site parking is pretty expensive, but right next-door is a P3 lot that was very reasonable. Good location with views of the bay and walking distance to many great restaurants.

Room was clean. Staff were very pleasant. There was no sea view. There were shops nearby. Sleeping was a challenge. This is because the doors every room are locked using a standard lock and key. The doors themselves have no soundproofing capabilities at all. And the noise created when people are trying to access their rooms was truly remarkable. This would tend to happen late at night and very early in the morning making it difficult to sleep. For that reason alone, I would not use this hotel again.

Room was clean, staff was great! The hotel is in a great location. It is also true that the beds were older and not very comfortable, the shower is very small and an experience in itself and there isn’t much sound proofing so you hear other people’s doors closing and moving around which can be challenging if you are a light sleeper and managing jet leg from travelling internationally. All in all it is a good hotel. The buffet was pretty good and expensive but everything is expensive in Iceland.
