Good Value, Convenient Location.

The hotel is conveniently located near the old harbor and a short walk to museums and central city area. Good for a few days stay. No closet or space for clothes storage; so you are living out of your suitcase. Good breakfast which is reasonably priced if booked with stay. No food service after breakfast, just rooftop bar with limited and expensive snack foods. Room was clean. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Good location with nice views of the water. Nice lounge on the top floor with great views. Everything was good for the cost with the only issue being the impractical shower which was a quarter glass and was nearly impossible to shower without getting water everywhere. Also no storage in our room so ww lived out of suitcases. Otherwise all good.

Lovely and accomodating

This was my first trip to Iceland and I went solo, which can be intimidating, but they made me feel safe and comfortable. What truly set them over the top was the emails I received prior to my arrival allowing me to set up seamless transport to and from the airport which takes off one extra worry. They also give you a list of different tours and activities you can do in the area. The rooftop bar has a beautiful view of the waterfront, even in the rain, and the spa is a must!

Location for everything in the city is perfect. The staff were great and we were very lucky to get a parking space from the 6 available. Our only issue was the temperature of the room. During the day, it was roasting, and only by late evening was it just about ok to be comfortable for sleeping. I would say we could have opened the windows, but being on the 6th floor, they were locked shut.
