The staff were attentive and kind. We stayed one night during the first part of our trip and three nights at the end. The rooms were spacious and clean. The breakfast was convenient and fresh. Complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby 24/7. "Emil" the chef was fantastic. He was funny, kind and his food was delicious. Will definitely recommend to all my contacts. Thanks

Very clean rooms, which is the most important thing to me. Very friendly staff. About 15-20 minutes walk from downtown area. Easy enough to catch a cab (front desk has a button that summons one immediately). Pretty good breakfast (we stayed a week, ate breakfast at the hotel three times); pricey but that’s Iceland. You can definitely get two full helpings for the cost. Rooms were quiet and comfortable, very nice for a week-long stay. Would stay here again.

We had a great stay overall: Pros: Parking onsite Excellent breakfast Friendly staff Convenient location Shower, hot and strong Beautiful decor/aesthetic Cons: No refrigerator/microwave in rooms Rooms: questionable air quality. Bad cough. “Restaurant” is a stretch. Some bar food that is basic. There should be a dinner option buffet style like breakfast. Some kind of a pantry would be helpful to purchase medicines, toiletries, etc.
